That's fantastic, I'm not one for weathering, but that just looks amazing.

Imagine what it would look like on the front of a rake of weathered silver bullets. Just stunning.

I agree, but that would be very much a "Rule One" consist, wouldn't it ? Wasn't D1000 withdrawn well before the "bullets" came into service ? China Clay awgons, on the other hand .........

That's as maybe, but I don't think you're quite understanding what we're trying to achieve here.

There's a plot....

You're right, am sorry to say. Must be a senior moment

@koyli55002
Not long ago I bought a rake of weathered bullets purely as I believe they are superb models. Being a transition modeller I had nothing 'proper' to haul them so posted a film of Western Enterprise in Desert Sand hauling them.
Poor deluded @emjaybee thinks I might cave in in and buy a weathered one. I could then have a clean and dirty one to alternate with. Bah - foolish boy

(Trouble is he might yet turn out to be right)

I have the same trouble.....picking up stock just because it looks nice and then thinking "Now how can I justify running this through the outskirts of York ?"  Then I hit on the idea of stuff going to and from the NRM .....

I hate to spoil your fun, but you'd never have seen a Western in this condition on the silver bullets. It wouldn't have been able to stop them. Bullets are air-braked, loco is vacuum-braked.

You're not helping the cause....

Surely everyone knows that  D1015 was repainted and renamed as D1000 when it hauled the 6S55 Burngullow - Irvine silver bullets on the 29th Feb 2013?

The return working included some of EWS flying pig vans.

I'm sure I've seen some photos of Westerns and bullets....

...although, as I think about it, John Wayne may have been present.

The Duke used to frequent your Odeon?! Cool.

That's D1043 of course.

[Dalek]

That's stunning !

Who's doing the Golden Ocre one again ?

I believe it's Cheltenham Model Centre.

It is indeed CMC who are doing D1015 - I have one on order
