I chased Duchess around on saturday up Shap & down the S&C, i also followed her earlier this year on the north Wales coastline & that wartime black with maroon lining on the footplate is awsome i really like that livery although Br brunswick green would just do it for me

Looking at the current releases forth coming from Bachmann i think personally the class 185 transpennie dmu isnt far away because it is seen on both the east 7 west coast & is fairly widespread in the northern part of the country which is a likely candidate & it certainly gets my vote :lol: ...

They might be old & they might bounce everywhere & break your neck before you get to your destination but i personally think their is something about the humble pacer that i like. I see them daily on the Colne line & they are not as bad as everyone makes out & i'm told if it wasnt fo...

Trannspennine class 185 for starters would be nice along with a class 76. Steamwise maybe something a little different like a lms garrett or a claughton or something like that. A midland compound would be good too & they lasted out till the late 50's & would make a nice addition to my fleet ...

It was my understanding that dapol are doing one, i may be mistaken though Dapol still haven't commited to it However if they do, then I can't see BachFar also producing one Dapol have actually done the master for it i was told by someone at dapol but with so many other models coming before it it's...

Spent all of yesterday at the East Lanc's at one of the best steam gala's i've ever been too :D . I did one hell of alote of walking at various spot's to get some great photo's. Running on the day was the industrial shunter , Oliver Cromwell , Duke of Gloscester , Sir Lamiel & 44871. I've taken ...
