This is what I get for sticking to BR only! Mind you I won't be able to explain that P2 when it shows up considering they were rebuilt before Nationalisation... Quote
BosKonay Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Lol. I've given up trying to stick to anything. When you've an 071 rumbling in a siding, watching a class 350 emu roll past while the enterprise sits at the platform behind 209 and a q1 rolls by while the thalys flies along the mainline ... What can you do! Quote

What can you do! My OCD levels dictate that trains must be run with others of a matching era pulling stock specific to that era and region. However, since there's so much I like the scenery can be as generic as possible! Quote
Warbonnet Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Well, only a matter of time before someone double headed Quote
Warbonnet Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I'm a happy bunny, came home tonight to find this waiting for me... Quote
RedRich Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 That's a beast Fran. How does it square up to Heljan's diesel models. Rich, Quote

heirflick Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I'm a happy bunny, came home tonight to find this waiting for me... [ATTACH=CONFIG]13835[/ATTACH] may you have hours of fun with that beast....and i dont mean Brendan! Quote
Warbonnet Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 That's a beast Fran. How does it square up to Heljan's diesel models. Rich, Only had a quick look but very well. 200 Sterling is a lot of money but I think she's worth every penny. It's got two motors too, so essentially you're getting two locos in some ways. Lots of nice extra detail, no sign of moulded handrails thankfully! Looking forward to chipping her and putting her through her paces down in the midlands. Quote
