Galteemore Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Now that’s railcar heaven. I can almost forgive you for giving me flashbacks to my daily 80s school commute. 3 Quote
LARNE CABIN Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Fully agree with @Galteemore , that is UTA/NIR railcar heaven! What a line-up! 2 Quote

Darius43 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Posted October 27, 2021 UTA MED railcar - again Worsley Works sides on much cut down Dapol Stanier coaches. The roofs were made from laminated plasticard sheets sanded to shape. Cheers Darius 5 1 1 Quote

LARNE CABIN Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Absolutely terrific work. As I said before, inspirational. Thanks for posting these detailed photos. They will be a terrific aid to others. Hard to pick out a favourite, as they are all top class, but to me the 70 Class is brilliant! 2 Quote

Darius43 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Posted February 26, 2023 The 80 Class and 70 Class threads on RMWeb now have the missing pictures restored. Cheers Darius 1 Quote

airfixfan Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 They are great models just missing the dents that 63 and 65 had acquired by their last days. Went to Derry and back in 64 about 1980 to deal with a derailment. Quote
Darius43 Posted October 29, 2023 Author Posted October 29, 2023 I could have made a small amount of money betting that Airfixfan’s “dents” comment would once more arise… Cheers Darius 1 Quote
airfixfan Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Well 63 and 65 were repainted in the blue NIR livery which showed the dents more than 64 which was never repainted Edited October 29, 2023 by airfixfan Quote
Darius43 Posted October 30, 2023 Author Posted October 30, 2023 I have a a pair of sides left over to make No.64 - in UTA green hopefully. Sans dents I’m afraid. Cheers Darius 1 Quote
airfixfan Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 They only acquired the dents in the last NIR days Quote
