Nobby's mental breakdown

[Newportnobby]

Ever since I saw the chromatic blue Hymek D7036 on @Chris Morris  'Dawlish Warren' with white window surrounds and SYP, an itch for a rake of blue stock has required scratching. This has resulted in me ordering one from Osborns and to go with it I'm sourcing:-

Dapol 2F-014-003 Fruit D ex forum member ohlavache
Dapol 2F-047-007 CCT ex forum member ohlavache
Dapol 2F-047-012 CCT ex Rails of Sheffield
Dapol 2F-014-012 Fruit D ex Rails of Sheffield
Farish 374-890 50ft Stanier Full Brake ex Kernow
Farish 374-136 GUV ex Chelmsford Models
Farish 374-045 (pre ordered with Rails) MK1 BG Newspapers
Farish 374-587 (pre ordered with Rails) Hawksworth Full Brake
Farish 374-039A (in my stock and weathered by mk1gtstu) MK1 BG Blue/Grey

All are destined to be sent to mk1gtstu for weathering apart from the loco. I couldn't bring myself to do that 

Not only that, but @Bob G sent me this link to D7036 at Oxford!! Serendipity or what?!

So -it's out in the open and I fully lay the blame at Chris's door.

I do assure you, though, this is a 'one off' just like my Poppylino, class 800 and Dapol HST125 so please don't think I've lost it completely.

Welcome to the dark side of British Rail Blue Mick! 

If you want the Diesel weathered to match the rest of the train I can do that for you, I have been known to have done a few in the past...

Cheers, Stu

@exmouthcraig Many thanks for that, Craig. I had seen it but thought I'd give any forum member first crack at supply.

And I know you'd do a great job of it, Stu, but I just couldn't do that to such a glorious livery.

Mick. Go for it. Re 374132 and 136 have you tried rails ? John dutfield?  Will let you know if I see any.

Tried virtually everywhere, Chris. As a fall back might have to revert to 374-125 (125A or 125B) if there's no response but ad only placed today.

What is this "it" you claim to be in possession of?   

[mk1gtstu]

What's the difference with those GUV's Mick? I'm guessing the running numbers?

Cheers, Stu

His marble ?

It's not that, Stu. 374-132 and 136 are later models and are much more detailed, especially the underframe. See......

Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand. I'll have you know I have two marbles and keep them in a bag that badly needs ironing..

Ah yes, I have a small fleet of those, they are the better detailed ones

Cheers, Stu

Got a spare one?

[mk1gtstu]

Not sure this number on your post is correct either Mick?

Farish 374-690 CCT

I googled it & it comes up as a Farish MK2F Coach? 

Cheers, Stu
