Class 59 in N gauge

[Bob G]

I cant believe how old these beasts are.

1986 was 35 years ago. Blimey! many of the first generation diesels didn't see ten years use!

1986 is past the end of my modelling eras but this will be a Rule 1 for me in FY silver because of their incredible legacy (I have had one BHE kit and two pretend 59s from straightforward 66 resprays in the past). The only other Rule 1s are large logo 73s, large logo 50s and a Eurostar.

Indeed, and a crash course in latest 59 fleet ownership for me...

I wasn't aware any were orange, let alone with Freightliner.

Just been brought up to speed by others on the Facebook group

Things have changed since I started this topic

So it's been a while since I have been on here but I was reading hornby magazine at lunch the other day and stumbled across news of revolution trains production of one.

Needless to say just ordered 59001 in original yeoman 

Can't wait to see it in place on my network Southeast 1990's scene. Remember these rolling through purfleet as a kid. Just need some wagons now.

Just need to actually uncover the layout and get back involvement in some modeling. Winter will help I am sure 

Least I don't have to just make do with a lego one
