Nobby's mental breakdown

[Newportnobby]

Osborns have confirmed they have the 374-640 and 374-632A but not the 374-890 so I've sourced that with Kernow.
I have to say Osborns have been more than helpful in me putting this train together

I have 3 green Hymeks already (1 is a dummy one for double heading)
No china clay for me, sorry. I have more than enough wagons for other rakes

Oh no, i'm going to have to get myself another green Hymek to keep up with you!

[Newportnobby]

First item to arrive is the ex Kernow Farish 374-890 50FT ex LMS Full brake weathered by the factory. As I said, all rolling stock will end up getting the 'treatment' from @mk1gtstu

2 of the 6 parcels I'm waiting on arrived today. One was some dowels and a drill bit from Station Baseboards such that I can progress the layout rebuild, but the other was more to this thread subject. A Farish 374-136 blue GUV (ta muchly to Chris @crewearpley40 for sourcing one ex Chelmsford Models)

Ken Wilkinson at John dutfield kindly had it in stock. I have one too

So the odd blue thingy is allowed in the period of our layouts, then. I usually avoid anything blue!

With the possible exception of the odd movie

@Bealman No, George. The only blue thing allowed in our era is the Blue Pullman. I am just having a mental aberration and am creating one 'blue train' just 'cos I like the chromatic blue Hymek and thought a rake of blue parcels stock would look good behind it.
Same reason I bought the Kato IET class 800 and am buying a class 28 + a few conflat-Ps, but they're also to try to keep Kato and Rapido making items for UK modellers.

Is mick trying to create a train like this https://images. One https://www.flickr.com/photos/david_christie/6219847051     or    https://www.flickr.com/photos/goremirebob/9313209297

The first one I can already do. The second is more like it but not a full custard dipped Hymek

[crewearpley40]

I was looking at the assortment of vans. Being honest the green liveried Hymek would suit your layout.

I already have 3 green Hymeks for the layout (2 powered, one dummy)
I think you're missing the point of this one off exercise, Chris

[crewearpley40]

Look forward to seeing the chromatic blue loco haul her parcels train.
