Oooh - I think we'll need a photo of the full set togetherView attachment 153648
These are on their way to complete my new weed killing train! Most chuffed with my week's work!
Agreed!Oooh - I think we'll need a photo of the full set together
Very nice, and a nice layout it looks too!A few of the most recent additions:
- Bachmann Class 66 - Repainted into 66734 'Platinum Jubilee' by Andi Walshaw
- EFE Rail Class 58 - Re-numbered & Renamed into 58049 'Littleton Colliery'
- Cavalex Class 56 - 56091 in DC Rail
Slowing down on Model purchases due to working on the actual layout

Yeah I think there will be plenty more on the way.
I’ve got a few blue grey Mk2C’s on order, I’m going to see how they colour match with other manufacturers existing blue/grey stock before going ‘all in.’ Doing the WHL, I can have a train with AS Mk2’s, Hornby Mk3’s, Heljan ETHEL and AS or Bachmann 37, so the colours looking okay together is essential!
I was waiting a while and starting to get a little anxious, but keep the faith. I’m intrigued to see which ones you have gone for!
Thank you! That is only our scenic board in the pictures - our actual layout is being built in the loft. Its Outwoods Junction on Instagram if you're interested in taking a lookAgreed!
Very nice, and a nice layout it looks too!
Now those look sublime Great price!I've just ordered one of these, Hornby have them on special offer at £239.99

Fabulous "haul" there
Yes, I was a bit annoyed about that, although less so when I found it sellotaped to the detail pack. Seller should have mentioned that however......Deltic No.10 seems to be missing a horn?
As if teasing us by hiding a pair of 37s under the footbridge.I did manage to pick up three more PCA’s for my cement wagon rake at the show this weekend for £30:

Lovely scene with the 31Some rather nice purchases on display I must say.
I’ve barely bought anything recently, although I did manage to pick up three more PCA’s for my cement wagon rake at the show this weekend for £30:

Let's hope the gritter has been out or the bus will never get up the hill!Some rather nice purchases on display I must say.

I hope the show went well - in addition to the bargain PCAs!
You could always just run them with each other - the ultimate way to provide an excuse for an HST (power cars anyway) on the smallest of layouts!Hornby Class 43's in National Express East Coast - arguably got nothing to run them with but just wanted to satisfy the completionist in me and get all the liveries of HSTs
This is definitely an idea....You could always just run them with each other - the ultimate way to provide an excuse for an HST (power cars anyway) on the smallest of layouts!
Light engine move!
Wow - well done with that 90, I have two Bachmann 90s, and they both set £230 holes in my budget each!Recent new items:
- Hornby Class 43's in National Express East Coast - arguably got nothing to run them with but just wanted to satisfy the completionist in me and get all the liveries of HSTs
- Bachmann Class 90, 90041 in Freightliner Green. Got it on sale from TMC for £137 - absolute bargain for a model this detailed imo!
Seems its one of the models TMC reduces when they do their 40% off sale, so glad i waited. After a 'Jaffa' livery one now....Wow - well done with that 90, I have two Bachmann 90s, and they both set £230 holes in my budget each!
I was tempted by those and some EMR/T Mk3's, but decided it was an unnecessary diversion...I've just ordered one of these, Hornby have them on special offer at £239.99

A truly awesome haul, that lot!Some lovely items in the previous few posts
Here are my new additions ......

Next, 47711, sound fitted. The Greyfriars Bobby statue is 100m from my old school!

Then, I finally got one of these, and it's a renumbered one, so reasonably happy despite the cost.

And last but very definitely not least, D338, sound fitted. It sounds amazing for the size, and sometimes when I'm working on something I will leave it idling nearby on the programming track! And when I open the throttle, a stupid grin appears on my face!

Now I really need to get on with building a proper layout to run them on, instead of them trundling round my programming track!
Very nice, and that is a great price for such a high spec locomotive.Recent new items:

I like those, and a in similar vein, these TTA's have just arrived for me from Bachmann. I have another 5 on order to make up a more convincing rake with different degrees of weathering. The factory weathering seems pretty convincing:Some rather nice purchases on display I must say.

That really does bring home the scale of the thing Mr C, btw I’m rather jealous - what a beast!
