Thanks Andy, A friend of mine brought a class 50 along to my meeting and it sounded ok but needed the CV's sorted as it would speed up way to fast for the sound. Glad you had a good show.

Marcus 37 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 More superb photo's Peter. Must say, I have the Bachmann 101 but your's looks just as good with the subtle weathering on the under frames. Very nice indeed. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say, I have the Bachmann 101 but your's looks just as good with the subtle weathering on the under frames. Very nice indeed. Cheers Marcus Thanks Marcus, It 's the underframe that lets it down the most to be honest, it can be improved by hacking away some of the plastic but I will leave mine for now. I have plenty of other projects to do first. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 More lovely atmospheric photo's. You really do spoil us. You'll probably think this is sacrilege but I would just love to see a Regional Railways, Transrail, Intercity Mainline liveried 37, take your pick, with a rake of Reggi rail Mark 2s sweeping round that bend and I will be in heaven. It just screams North Wales so much that it just takes me back about 20 years to my bashing days. Oh and the Met Cam needs to be green!! Used Daisy a few times for desperate leaps and positioning moves. See what you've done. You've made me all nostalgic now!! HaHa. Marcus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Hi Marcus, I am glad my pics are making you all nostalgic, I think that's one reason why we model, to bring back the memories of spotting and Bashing trips. Best I can do is a large logo 37/4 and some blue grey MK1 rake. I do remember 37408 being up on the coast when I was there for a few days. I remember the green 101 too. A few pics from my trip. Might bring back a few memories for you. Cheers Peter. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I have had a bit of a clean up this week and cleaned all the tracks on Llanbourne as I have a BRMA meeting here tomorrow. Trains are all ready to go in the fiddleyard and loco's are stabled in the depot. The area around the groundframe has been finished off and I have re branded a friends class 66. Cheers Peter. Now that is how you stock a fiddleyard! Look at all that lovely traction...... Oh to be able to play trains...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi Peter Sorry for not posting sooner. Thanks for posting those great pictures. Yep, they certainly bring back the memories. Can't believe its 15 years since they finished. How time flies. Now here we are in 2015 and yet again 37's are back in passenger service on the Cumbrian Coast. They are like a cat with nine lives!!

Marcus 37 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I was lucky enough to have cab ride in 37424 reggie rail Sure it wasn't 37414 Neil. 424 never carried Reggi rail. Here's a list of loco's that carried Reggi rail 414 418 420 421 422 425 427 although branded Scotrail 429 Cheers Marcus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
class"66" Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Yer I ment 37420, she was scrapped in the end at the back of the EWS DMD in Crewe..

P.C.M Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Now that is how you stock a fiddleyard! Look at all that lovely traction...... Oh to be able to play trains...... Thanks Alex, Still plenty to add but running out of room. I have been running trains since my meeting last week problem is I have found a few loco's need some servicing I have had too pull apart one of my 108 DMUs due to poor running. I pulled the motor and gears out of another one and things seem to have improved but it's still not the best runner. Looks like more servicing tomorrow and no playing trains.

Cheers Marcus No worries Marcus, I did see some pics of the DRS 37s back on the Cumbrian Coast. It's a line I didn't do back in the day which is a shame there are some nice stations and Semaphores on the route. If the trains are still running late next year I might try and go out for a ride as I am planning a trip to the UK next September. Cheers Peter.
