I was determined that there would be no dieselification on my layout... But the class 37 with the small yellow ends... did for me.

Go on... You know you do... I mean come on a 37 is almost a kettle, they can make so much smoke...

A kettle fan buying a 37 - much like a vegetarian after smelling bacon!

That is sooooo True! I've had a few veggie friends weaken and break when confronted with the smell of bacon

Well, back in the days when I worked for a pharmaceutical company I used to make a drug for pigs called Piglet Pro-Gen. It's active ingredient was arsenic. Look it up.

I take your point poliss about chemicals in our food and in no way wish to demean your beliefs and choices. Sadly pretty much everything has additives in it now, I was talking to local farmer and he mentioned organic farming, apparently there is only one type of chemical they can use in organic farming, however they can use it 6 times per crop, regular farmers can only use it once per crop - because it is too carcinogenic!

Anyway where is this ruddy diesel anyway

For me I grew up with British steam modelled Japanese and British steam but also American diesel, I feel I now need to do the right thing and model what I grew up with again so its

Steam all the way or nothing.

Well guys,

All my stock is LMS/LNER so that is staying for sure...Not a deisel in sight!

But, as I grew up in the 70s, I remember the Blue era. If i ever buy them I'll run them seperate. I'm planning the layout with this in mind so I can swap buildings over etc to make it look more like that era..

Long way off of course but I may get the odd one for the future..

Crikey Cudders what ever came over you came over me today, I lost my blinkin mind and bought three diesels.

I was determined to stay all steam but what the heck

Class47 No 47455 BR Blue.
Class 45 No 45114 Blue
Class 37 D6607 BR green

All were stored in a glass display case at a friends home and never run .
