This weekend these loco's are coming my way so hopefully i'll get some good pic's,,, not bad for one weekend.
5690 is a Stanier three cylinder Jubilee class 4-6-0
and below is 5690 same time last year near home
48151 is a Stanier 8F freight 2-8-0 engine
71000 is a BR standard class 8 4-6-2 three cylinder machine
and some Diesel fun
This is a class 60 loco leaving Preston docks with an empty oil tank train, not the best looking loco's in the world but they are powerfull with over 100 thousand lbs of tractive effort available
Here's the start of a future project, it's an old central heating vent cover with very convinient HO scale office block window openings, it's going to get chopped about a bit and get dark plexiglass windows, should be a fun project
And another little job was fitting white LED headlamps into the childrens trains, this is one of our class 47's made by Lima
Great pics, guys. I hope to have some new shots tomorrow.
Steve, That's a cool idea for a building. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Josh, We've got an Atlas late model GE dummy unit in BNSF punkin paint. It's a train show special we've had forever and needs new center wheels on each truck and some detailing. The paint looks great. If you want it, send me a PM, the price is right.
Well we went out but the weathers very bad with very heavy rain so we only saw the first train, 5690, i didn't fancy driving an hour and half in those conditions to see the second train.
Here's 5690 speeding through Leyland station, it was the only place local with a shelter
Unfortunately , I only have some "oldies" to share at the moment.
I’m presently rebuilding a large portion of my layout and It will be a while
before tracks and scenery are in place again. I did keep a portion of my
[now -older-] layout to run trains however.
When I have the time I’ll post some new shots.
In the meantime…
Since I’ll be busy in the next 10 days or so I might as well post
a bit more pictures then usual. Unless you guys think I’m going
overboard with my oldies…
