Here are 2x 8F tenders back to back (or is it front to front?). You can add stock to either end. No sound. Just need to be invisible. Obs cannot...
I managed to make a static wagon rake for a preserved railway using an 8F tender. The game views it as a loco, but of course it makes no sounds....
The great reveal about D3802 / 08635 is this version - Loco Lives #3.5 In 2021, 08635 was chosen to be a prototype for Hydrogen-hybrid power at...
Well into the 21st Century, the loco, now identifying as 08635, was still a bog-standard Class 08! Here it is any time between 1974 and 2007...
LL #3.3 is 3802 in BR Blue. The loco probably received BR Blue between 1967 and 1973 and lost its 'D' prefix about the same time. [ATTACH]...
During the 1960s, the loco received one major livery change - wasp stripes front and back; and one smaller change - OHLE warnings Here is is as it...
Loco Lives #3 is next on the upload list. Like D1717 / 47555, this one starts out innocuous and only becomes something different at the very end,...
In 1995, 47555 was transferred to Railfreight Distribution at Tinsley TMD and received their 'new' European Distribution livery. Tinsley added a...
Some pics of the above scenario. Hope you don't mind, DJ [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hi DJ, Have just downloaded this and played it. What a Gala! Something for everyone. Great to see some of my locos and stock running on your...
1991 was a sad year for the loco, which fell out of favour with the influx of Sprinters on many Passenger services. 47555 was rudely shorn of its...
In 1987, 47555 caught up with the rage that was InterCity livery and received the very smart InterCity Executive variant which had become the...
By 1982, 47555 had received yellow headcode panels and was looking exactly as a 1980s Class 47 should. Its use on all manner of passenger trains...
4th April 1979 was a big day for 47555 - the day it was named 'The Commonwealth Spirit'. The loco still retained its Black Domino headcodes. Based...
As above, I have no clear date for the acquisition of Domino headcodes for 47555, but it was either before or in 1979, most likely before. I have...
Sometime before or in 1976, 47555 had its alphanumeric headcodes turned to '0000' along with hundreds of other locos. BR's operating methods were...
I thought I might just explain about the Loco Lives series. This idea started with 47401, a loco I got to see many times during my spotting days....
Just 8 months later and 47126 was called to Crewe Works for ETH fitting. The loco emerged (around September 1974) as 47555, resplendent in BR...
In early 1974, D1717 received its TOPS number. Classified as a 47/0 i.e. with no ETH, the loco became 47126. By now its 2-tone Green livery was...
D1717 moves along to after 1967 and the addition of the full Yellow ends. This did nothing for the aesethics of the locos, but possibly saved a...
Apologies for this, but I've just re-uploaded 47493 as I had forgotten to colour the cabside handrails!
I'm returning briefly to a series I started a number of years ago with D1500 / 47401. I'm calling it the 'Loco Lives' series. It involves a look...
Just over a year ago, I uploaded 47494 to the CC, a Class 47/4 in 2-tone Green livery with full yellow ends. It was the only 47/4 ever to carry...

Typical ! The WSR have a gala day where Falcon meets Lion and I'm holidaying in Hornsea! :o
It wasn't something I knew about. I was looking through a book about LNER named locomotives and came across this list of the D11/2s. The names...

'Luckiemucklebackit' surfaces ! With Glasgow naming their Class 320s after TV characters (see 320307 'Govan - Rab C. Nesbitt'), Haymarket Depot...
The final Class 86 for the moment: What if... BR had given the RTC at Derby a Class 86 to play with? This is 86901 in the later InterCity-inspired...
You wish! With those letters you could get at least 17 points! Tomtrainboi is correct, it was the name of a 1924-built LNER D11/2 locomotive....
Did you actually know that, or did you Google it? :D
OK, a teaser: What does the name 'Luckie Mucklebackit' have to do with the Railways? :cool:
