If you ever want to sell D1000 (unweathered) then I could be interested.


Why not weathered?

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!

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?

Regards

They never carried TOPS numbers, the liveries on mine are green.blue and maroon with variations on the end panels,plain half and full yellow.

Cheers

You can never have to many Warships!

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.

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!
