A British Locomotive?

Also the Aluminium stock used for the Blood and Custard rake were my spare cars, there is still a complete rake available for use in original form and when the lines are running 100% USA stock.  I can now change to entiirely BR style stock for a change when I wish, along with the Accucraft four wheel vans etc.

Nice set of locos and coaches. Mine are tucked up in the warm as well and my programme of winter servicing has now started - basically clean and grease/oil everything that moves.

....... You can see why I didnt get on well in 'OO' railway circles cant you? They dont like the wrong door handles on a Mark 1, this would never do. To me this is what a garden railway is all about...a bit of fun and relaxation :D

Exactly - I couldn't agree more.

Whenever someone comments about my deviating from the full size prototype, I tell them that my modifications are just what I would do to the full size prototype if I were lucky enough to own it. So my models do look like the prototype - it's just that the full size one hasn't caught up with the model yet .... :)

I can't find a single piccy of it John. Found his Inter-City liveried Piko Taurus and his LGB Virgin Pretendolino but can't find the 218.

It was Netty who had the two-tone green 2095 but it's seen service on Mike's, Mel's and Mark Biff's lines too (went on loan to various railways for a stint a few years back).

Alas the BR Blue 218 was posted up on the old GSM. I did repost the thread on GSC in 2009 but the pictures have gone from the thread. Shame, it was a stunner.

Any chance you could post a photo or link when you get a chance?

Hi all,

Been away from the hobby and the forum for various reasons that will bore you, so I`ll just say my ears were burning and thought I`d post the requested photos. I don`t want to Ijack this thread with my life story.

A few more other shots of British-ness from the archives sorry if you have seen them previously.

Very nice, Dave, thanks for posting them - as expected, the Class 218 really DOES look good in that livery! :)

Jon.
 
Those are some great loco's and those wagons behind the little shunter are superb. Nice to see your railway again :D
PS I must try and post some pictures of my own loco's when time permits :-\
 
You are man after my own Heart Dave, superb photos of great British trains. Now someone really has got to do a 218 in BR Green after your Blue one!
 
The last of the 2015 season Diesel repaints into British Railways livery has just been completed. This time it was a high-nose SD45 which is now BR Class 19 D8374 and is allocated to haul the Pullman trains this summer. A short spell of sunshine coupled to a temperature the right side of zero resulted in a trial run this morning.

Just in case anyone thinks I am neglecting the Steam locos on the Branch Line, many of those are destined for BR Black in due course.  The ex Lynton and Barnstaple LYN , which has spent quite a few years in the `Pakefield Joint` colours of Chocolate and Cream has been outshopped as 37412 in Black but no longer carries a name.

That looks really good. :D
 
Can you please give me the paint number of the green diesel it is just right for one of my kit bash jobs.
It just look's right thank you.
Graham.
 
It is the correct BR Green Graham, made by Phoenix Precision Paints: P101 BR Loco Green (post 1954)
I bought mine on-line from Fox ( http://fox-transfers.co.uk/ )

Hope that helps
