I continue to find the total absence of photos of the bespoke models odd, I may want a Freightliner one, but want to see one first!

I am starting to wonder, according to the projects page the shipment 1 bespoke units are shipping, but no one is posting about them.
Of course the recipients may not be on here or FB. even RMW.

My bespoke 66846 Colas Diamonds livery is perfection. As for pics, since it's dark when I go to work and dark when I get home, I can only take a decent pic at the w/e. But then I'm too knackered lately.     If you've seen a factory finished model, then you've seen a bespoke model - as @cookiescrumble says "looks just like a factory finish".

Thanks very much for the reply, will keep an eye out for your pics, once you get to take them.

I thought I'd open the floodgates of Rapido Peaks (again) as these both arrived within the last 24 hours.

Front end comparison - Rapido D4 (L) vs Farish 44008 (R) - fittingly, the two surviving class members


The Rapido models are absolutely beautiful. 45060 was my 45/0 'machine' back in my mainline bashing days, and I'm a shareholder in D4, so it makes sense to have models of them.

From the NGS February Sale I purchased a Pullman Stove R and a 60s snowplough as gifts for friends (I have a snowplough and no Pullman coaches)



along with a Blue Stove R and a blue snowplough for my limited BR blue stock

Lovely models which my photo doesn't do justice. Certainly worthy of running empty to show off the fine detail around the spine.

Mine arrived today aswell and agree they are lovely models. The voucher was a nice touch as well as I'm gonna need a whole bunch of containers

I am in agreement with the previous two posts, I really like my rake of 10.

Not quite scale length but I have seen a few videos of 47s with intermodal sets on Western metals in the 90s with "shorter" rakes, so I am not too far off.

Thanks very much C-Rail.

What do you make of the mirrors? In images I see, it looks like they are squashed. But that could be the photos.

[Graham]

Hopefully this will show the mirrors slightly better.

I like the detail of the mirrors, although I did have one still in the box after taking the 66 out of the box.

I think they have done a stonking job.

Forgive my Yankee ignorance: mirror?

if you look above the running number at the side of the window you can see a small rectangular piece, this can be seen better when you enlarge the picture.

Ha! Literally a mirror! Like a rear-view-mirror.

  I thought it was referring to something else.
