I am so over the moon that i got my first class 37 in EWS livery, I got this little model for £25 as seems that it had a problem with screaming at high speed. But a little bit of model oil on the drive shaft saw to that!
This is my favorited picture of my EWS Class 37
I wanted to have a rake of 35ton tankers, so I attended my local Exhibition in Mansfield (viewed a lot of nice layouts.) But I went round alot of trade stalls and found 3X 35ton tankers in the Texaco red 35ton tankers. well they looked a bit dated and missing the ladders on a few of them. But I decided to make them a bit more uniform. So I stripped them down and filled them with No-More Nails to weigh them down and added some BP Logos.
Then I decided to add some weathering to them with a bit of poster paint (black) to make the impression of being used for diesel. They are still not finished but i still think they look not too bad. And a good first time attempt.
I will tell you now wiring will seem daunting, but stick with it! It will become fun and you will find that you might have a really good skill as i did.
You see crossings all over the country, as dangrous as they are i decided to put one in due to Boddington having a double loop track i needed a crossing. I entend to have LED flashing lights. As you will see i have scratch built mine.
When I saw the Metcaf Parish Church advertised I had to have one, I picked it up mine at the New Years day 2011 Newark Collectors Fair. A great event even better now that I got a church to build during my time off at this time of year.
