Those are awesome, the weathering is outstanding! They look like hard working locomotives, and a nice assortment as well.

Thanks Joe and Ernie 👍
Couple of things to note, anything without couplings has been temporarily taken out of service (on the last layout !) for maintenance, anything with no weathering is either new or freshly repainted/renumbered and needs weathering, anything with the Hornby style “hook and bar” couplings on it is still new to my collection and awaiting removal of those eyesores (horrible things they are !) and their replacement with better looking couplings. I’m still buying Lima locomotives brand new, still in the shrink wrap from deceased estates, still getting them for the prices paid back then too 🧐😁
I’ll get the pax stock up as soon as I’ve taken their piccys - looks like I forgot to take ‘em yesterday ! 🤯😳🤬

Does indeed...
Here ya go then...
First Generation Units.
Class 121 Single Car, Class 101 and Class 117
Second Generation Units (“Sprinters”) Class 156 x 4
“Second Generation Units (“Sprinters”)
Class 153 Single Car, Class 158 “Sprinter Express” x 2
That’s it, I’m not dragging my heaps of Freight Stock out for anybody - You’ll have to wait til photos of test trains or the new layout make their appearance... Might let a few pix of some of them slip from time to time (after they’ve been repaired/repainted etc), seem to have quite a few with bits needing reattachment, repainting and other small maintenance tasks 🤭

Too true unfortunately...🙄
The styrene is keeping me busy with those 3 Russki Carriers... I opened the box of the Trumpeter Kuznetsov today, just to see what it was like..🧐.
Well, that was the thought anyway 🤔...
The inevitable happened... 😖
You’ve probably guessed that its now under construction as well ! 🤪

Addiction ? What addiction, I just like lots of things a lot 😖
Anybody seen my lighter ? 🕯
Actually, I don’t feel like a regular 🚬
I’m celebrating the return of my styrene mojo, so a nice, red cigar with a wick on the end is called for ... 🧨

The class 35, is that what was also called a Deltic? Although I work on trains I don't know too much about the older class of trains although I have shunted a few of the ones you have shown here,the 37's and Deltics sound great. The 37's always remind me of a bomber cockpit |
