This weekend i tore out a section of benchwork and re built it so i get more yard tracks, this will be a small industrial area with a British theme, for my new trains. the era is early 1990's, an era which saw massive change, any loco could turn up on any job, new train operating company's formed such as Loadhaul (below) , Mainline, Freightliner, and a few more besides.
and todays new arrival, a class 56 freight loco
yesterday i got this bodyshell for a class 57 for £7, the detail is very good with seperate handrails, lamp brackets, stainless steel etched grills and rotating cooling fans, this model will be re painted into British rail blue
Still waiting for this class 57 freightliner loco to come,,, the 57's were a rebuilt 47 with a refurbished SD40-2 engine transplanted into them,,, so i get the best of both worlds, British trains with American sounds
