I am hoping to get over to Digitrains tomorrow to check out the DCC Controllers. Powercab is looking favourite at the moment

Awesome. The loco is great, too. How 1960's does that look? Almost brings tears to my eyes.... :'(

scotsoft · February 18, 2013, 10:15:30 PM

Decided to treat myself to my first Dapol

cheers John.

Not my time period, but VERY nice, all the same. How's it run?

scotsoft · February 18, 2013, 11:19:31 PM

Very quiet George and it is still being run in.
Lights all work and it just looks the business going round the track

cheers John.

Yep,Dapol's HST in any livery looks fantastic,I particularly love my blue/grey ones and with Legomanbiffo's Paxman Valenta loaded sound chip,sound as fantastic as they look.

Great buy John, love the colour scheme it looks very posh

Evening all,

Thought i'd pop my 2 latest purchases on here.

First is the Freightliner class 66 (one of 3 class 66s i own)

And a class 57 that stood out at me, (mainly because the display cabnet was almost full with no less that 8 class 66's lol)

Got both ar 1/2 price so not bad really

Neil

Really like the Class 66, the freightliner colours stand out nicely.

I collected my final parcel of stock today (for a while) as the postie has requested a few weeks off. Expertly packed as usual from Rails.

Nice buys, guys. Eek - I'm a poet and didn't know it. Like the wagons, stevieboy, but wot's those two things at front? Seriously - I don't know! Oh hang on, just looked up my copy of Britain's Model Trains: BRA steel wagons?

stevieboy · February 19, 2013, 09:24:47 PM

Yeah they're BRA's. I recently did some work on the TATA steel works site in Scunthorpe and there were a few of these dotted about. Always looked odd but fascinating nonetheless.

Bealman · February 19, 2013, 10:34:45 PM

Yes, they are weird looking things - living as I do here at the Antipodes I don't get to see them much! I assume the lids slide open? On the prototype, I mean?

stevieboy · February 19, 2013, 10:42:23 PM

Yep, the cover is telescopic and retracts under the larger of the three covers. It was a fascinating few days up there, they have 1:1 scale remote controlled shunters too!
