My Summer Solstice purchases dropped on my door step this morning, a DCC fitted Class 220 Voyager and a Mk3 1st class carriage for my HST set.

N Class 1823, Southern Lined (DCC sound fitted) arrived yesterday and first impressions are very nice it is, especially teamed up with the Birdcage Coach Set. Not run yet, I don't have a "tail chase" track to run it, I'll run in on a rolling road. Maybe post a video later.
This is only my second venture into DCC sound, first was a "Youchoos" purchase in to my SE&CR C Class, very good that is as well.

SERIOUSLY???

What have I done?



Well ever since my first TINGS experience way back in 2008 we happened to see a layout with a Desert Sand Western and no matter how much we hate the noisy neighbours it has always been a loco I have liked especially in this colour.

I can justify running it on 1962 SR metals as either route trials or a diversion so when this Osborns special edition appeared on Ebay at a mere £120 I knew it was a too good an opportunity to miss.

The only disaster.........we flogged all our incorrect BR maroon coaches 2 years ago!!!

There's nothing wrong with maroon coaches behind a BR(S) loco. Inter-regional trains in particular would be made up of Maroon coaches:

https://flic.kr/p/zDC6mS (1964)
https://flic.kr/p/A4VK68 (1964)
https://flic.kr/p/EmtpU (1964)

You can even mix them with some green ones:

In many cases inter-regional trains were worked by stock from both regions. For example, a Yorkshire to the south coast service could be run with a train of Gresley or Thompsons and another of Bulleids.

Having purchased several class 66's and pre-ordered a Class 59 I thought I should have some suitable wagons for them to haul so I have acquired 8 MBA Mega boxes.

Not sure they'll fit the British loading gauge

Not sure they'll fit the British loading gauge

They might be on an exchange visit, but will have to restrict their movements? 

[wombat457]

Not sure they'll fit the British loading gauge

That's okay, seeing as I am not modelling a British layout ...

But you've posted them in the "show us your latest GB loco and rolling stock purchase" thread

Postie dropped my 56XX on my door mat today, it looks very nice and comes with comprehensive documentation. I will post a video when I get the test track out.
