Much modified Silver Fox NIR MV Class. Modifications include:- - Separate wire cab front and door handrails. - Lamp irons (staples). - Buffer beam hosiery. - Cab access ladders to bogies. - Remove Copydex glue that Mr Silver Fox uses everywhere and use a proper adhesive. - Chassis and body weathering. Cheers Darius

Much modified Silver Fox model. Cheers Darius

Locoshed diorama built for a friend. Cheers Darius

Not sure but it sounds like something that the Lima of that time would do. Cheers Darius

I built the Silver Fox resin bodied version a year or so ago, using a cut down Lima Class 55 chassis. Cheers Darius

In a moment of vanity I put Darius43 and RMWeb into the AI mode of a Google search. Apparently I am a “They” and am keen on building Modern Talbot Kits (MTK). Who knew. Cheers Darius

Point motor wiring almost completed. So far around 600m of cable used and that’s just the lower level on one side of the shed. So much for minimal wiring with DCC Cheers Darius

That should do it… Cheers Darius

OK. I think I have enough now. Cheers Darius

Some Silverfox Models “Dutch Vans”. As delivered with chassis weathering applied and the bogies reassembled*. Cheers Darius * reassembly required since, as supplied, they were glued together using what looks like Copydex, which led to the bogie sides spreading and shedding the wheels. Not ideal for smooth running…

Some “interesting” 6-wheeled coaches. Look to be hand repainted French coaches - possibly Jouef/Playcraft? Cheers Darius Edit - on closer inspection you can see the printing layers, especially on the roof. Not the smoothest of prints…

Just received from CK Prints. And after a spot of weathering. Cheers Darius

Added some more decoration. Cheers Darius

Wired up the storage siding control panel track isolation switches today. Cheers Darius

Painted the front fascia dark green. Then added some local colour… Cheers Darius

Hi Leslie, Great news!!! PM sent. Cheers Darius

Wizard Models sell the former Comet range of brass coach sides, some of which may be suitable for a conversion or two… Whilst not brass, I have used MTK punched aluminium coach kits to make ex LMS/NCC coaches… Cheers Darius

Gangways?

There were only three of these locos built, 101, 102 and 103. They were originally delivered in maroon livery with yellow chevrons and then repainted into blue with orange/dayglo chevrons, with 102 only repainted later in blue with yellow panel. Thus on my layout there are two 101s, three 102s and (so far) only one 103. Cheers Darius

In the case of “Falcon”, three times… Cheers Darius

A gathering of Hunslets. Cheers Darius

Some maroon ones… …and some blue ones. Cheers Darius
