Quite pleased after a couple of days messing about, four locos off the shelf of doom and within a couple of hours of completion. The three Hymeks have had laser glazing and individual numbers fitted, and the 25 glazed, and numbered in preparation for weathering. All four had been sitting round waiting for a ‘get to it’ moment, and last week have some opportunities to do some work whilst not dedicating significant time to them.

7F13EE48-BD7F-4557-9943-91975AE3E12D.jpeg In an epic moment of stupidity I ordered and fitted numbers for 74xx 7442, for this Bachmann conversion of a 64xx to a late 74. I should have ordered 7444.

However, my references tell me 7442 was shedded for a short while at Carmarthen, so my head tells me that’s ok until 7444 plates arrive, that one almost a life long resident at 87G

That rather reminds me of a "railway people picture", where they could well be discussing something slightly deviant, that may save a bit of time - in the style of my avatar!

...And the positioning of them... its spot on.
Like in my picture, we are discussing something but are not stood too close together.

I ma be reading too much into the pictures but the first one is definitely "work related", whereas the second image is talking about the pub later, or maybe what won the 2:30 at Newton Abbot ;)

For me that’s the real benefit of using the Modelu figures, scanned from real people their stance is entirely natural, and just moving the same figures around, can depict an entirely different story with just a few degrees or millimetres.

A work train arrives at Shelfie2. The coaches are some of the Hattons Genesis range of generic Pre-Group stock engineering prototypes, that they kindly allowed me to have a look over.

Here they are on Shelfie3 which is in the mock up stages, the layout will in fact be primarily D&E operations.
