The Bachmann Class 37, 37411 in EWS Livery. This was one of the first 'new' locos that I bought, miles difference in detail and running quality to the old Lima class 37's we used to use. I used this as a bit of a test bed, its been renamed with the later nameplates (The Scottish railway preservation society), had the new style warning flashes fitted on the roofline, DCC and sound fitted and weathered.
However... I'm just not happy with it, although an excellent moulding the front end looks 'wrong' to me, the windows are too small which just ruins it, later in the blog we'll talk about how to solve this.
Those that know me will be well aware that I have a slight obsession with wagons, especially the fishy types. Now I'm not talking about type you have with chips, my interest is in departmental stock, most of which are named after various types of sea creatures.
Below are a few recent conversions, these are a hybrid of Bachmann underframes and Cambrian body shells. I will do a proper build blog of these wagons in the near future... For now here is some ZCA SeaUrchins and a rare SeaHorse.
Thanks for taking a look, more to follow soon.
