Bought Gaugemaster/Dapol's simplified First Great Western livery class 153

My new Mathieson wagon arrived today from the UK.



I accidently spotted this wagon on the Rails of Sheffield site shortly after we visited London.
We stayed in Pinner and every day we travelled back on the Met line in the direction of Amersham.
So this little wagon is a reminder of our wonderful week in London

Central Trains 153 on a popular auctions site going for cheap which no one had bid on. Won it at a very low price, train arrived shoved in a spare Zimo DCC chip I had, works like a dream. Totally out of region and era compared to my usual stuff, but it's a wonderful little model. Just got to keep an eye out for a Regional Railways one now.

Thought I'd bought a Graham Hughes Q1 but turned out to be the GEM 4F kit. For €9.99 I'm not complaining as I just bought it because I have a 0-6-0 chassis and fancied building another kit. Saw plenty of the 1924 version as a kid, but only one 1911 version.

Got 2 of the new Graham Farish class 90's, they are very nice, smooth and quiet. Had both of them running quite a bit over the last few days with no issues. Only grumble which is minor regards the unpainted busbars and insulators.


Here is a video clip with them running.

They do look good, hopefully see mine sometime in Jan, once RM and Aus Post get it to me. Finally persuaded SWMBO to let me have one.

Class 31 in Intercity Mainline livery. Really good runner and looks fantastic. Been very impressed with the recent Farish 31s I've picked up - all wonderful models.

From TMC's sale, 37032 in Railfreight Red Stripe, the factory weathering has been toned down and the Tinsley applied name removed to backdate it a few years;



Also being trialed is a West Coast Models 3D printed ZCA Sea Urchin body on an old Farish OAA chassis, not finished yet but impressed sufficiently to order some more:



With the announcement of a new OAA by Rapido, this gives me a good use for my existing stock of the old Poole Era versions.

An assortment for Christmas and my birthday.

First the Christmas pressies





The Revolution Wascosa wagons and one of the Dapol JNA's are new. There's also a Castle Cement JPA and a white Dapol HIA lurking somewhere

Next the birthday ones, these arrived yesterday.



I'll be testing the CL90's today, the Autoballasters will finish a rake of 5, but I do need to repaint the 2 RailTrack ones that I already have.

I expect many of the CJM aficionados out there saw this class 92 go through ebay.  Whilst Continental N is my thing, sometimes rare items bring out the collector in me and this was one I just had to grab    





I know it's a fantasy livery, but very smart looking   It dates from late 2011, and seems to have run very little (if at all).  Having contacted Chris' son Matt it sounds like there were only a couple of these made "just for fun" (plus examples of some other loco classes were given a similar livery).   

As you would expect it runs as smooth as silk.  No doubt it will appear on the "parade track" on my German layout's museum open days

[Skyline2uk]

Yes I did see that, wondered about its history and assumed very few were ever made.

It's a great piece.

I'm delighted with the performance of No. 4057 running perfectly smoothly on DC straight out of the box on my layout "Elmsbridge Central". This loco is entirely appropriate for my railway likes - the clue is in the layout name.o
