I am trying to organise a photo shoot with 2 other members of the BMRG in which we should be able to field enough Westerns to represent the whole fleet of 74 that were built for / by the Western region of British Railways.
Up-dated fleet list I have found the miss placed Loco. I now have 24/74 only 50 more for a full set. :laugh3:

Hello
I've only one Western model, but I must have seen most of the real thing in my youth from Slough Station.
If you ever want to sell D1000 (unweathered) then I could be interested.
regards

I don't sell my Westerns, but am always on the look out to buy one. :angel:
Im a bit like that with Minitrix warships,a fair few having visited Ozymandias for rework,I now have the the whole fleet and a couple of spares. Totally over the top I admit, not remotely practical either.
Then you see some forlorn looking example for sale and think will another one really hurt?
Oh dear!
Will have to get the camera out!
Back in the early days when I did British N 50 years ago I was proud of my white metal MTK Western :smiley-laughing: :D
Actually I was joking, the 'recommended' Yugoslav LifeLike chassis wouldn't move the loco itself let alone pull anything! That's why I switched to European N with a Fleischmann BR110 and 3 silver fish coaches from MEKS in Caledonian Road

Do you have your Warship fleet (assume you have the D600 range as well) in the original BR livery : D number or not; did they ever have a TOPS number?

D600 Warships were Class 41. No Western region hydraulics lasted long enough to carry tops numbers

There's always Fox Transfers I guess for the OCD!
They have all been renumbered ad renamed from the original choice of three!
I hate to point out that this topic is My Western Fleet and has nothing to do with Warships the only things the 2 have in common are they are both diesel-hydraulics and are Western Region locos.
My apologies.
Andy
Ive got 4 Westerns aswell.....
I have a number of 52's in my collection of which a few are destined to be resprayed and renumbered. I haven't got any in the 'Desert Sand' livery so a couple will be set aside for that repaint.

Of course being an enthusiastic collector you are correct, but a friend of mine wants a D1000 in sand as well! Also a Western Champion (D1015), so two of those to be lined up for a paint job!

When you've got all 74 are you going to go the full monty and get the further 26 which were originally planned but never built? I think you should.

I hadn't thought about that but I did consider every livery variation for each loco which would be a total of 190. :laugh3: :laugh3:
That's damn good going on the Western set... makes what I have look like small potatoes! :)
Just the 1 here, D1062 Blue Courier (weathered)
Think I'll stick to EMD-SD's
A little bit of what you fancy does no harm.Go for it :bounce:

Hmmm,
:hmmm:
What about D1000 Western Enterprise NO yellow on the end?
:D
I have 2 Enterprise 's I need to get at least 1 example of each before I start thinking about all the livery variations. :laugh:
Hello Ditape
Impressive list. For the sake of the lazy readers (maybe only me!) who do not read the whole list to compare, maybe you could identify the lastest additon with details of colour and where acquired?

I was fortunate to be able to persuade Ozymandias to paint me a desert sand with no yellow, as it came out originally.
Fear not, I'm not even close to your tally, I have that one, a golden ochre, and a maroon. Not bad for a steam guy.
