Just before we lauch into the world of pre-TOPS BR Blue, here is a small project I have been working on after returning to run Peak Forest - the...
A final BR Blue Class 47 with alpha-numerics - 47076 'CITY OF TRURO' [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The next collection will be BR Blue pre-TOPS locos. We...
Had these floating around for a while, a couple of RTC-liveried Test coaches ADB 975397 (Test Car 2). This coach is preserved on the Great...
Hi Anthony, no problem. I've felt like giving up a few times myself. At the moment, I've discovered I cannot upload any scenarios on TSW5. I think...
Hi Anthony, I think the problem is that I don't use my username in the title of my uploads. There are a couple of guys who have a shorthand code...
Hi, I had a look at it tonight. It all seems very strange. I cannot download my own scenarios onto TSW5 to test it, but I checked my TSW3 version...
I've just realised that putting the name 'Sparrowhawk' next to a Cockney Sparrow is a little bit inconsiderate!
What a busy scenario! And it all looks so 'inhabited'. Well done David, I look forward to exploring Tees Valley once again. I hope those blue 37s...
In 1965/66, Brush Works, Loughborough released 5 Brush Type 4s (D1702 - D1706) with non-standard engines. Rather than the Sulzer 12LDA28C...

Its the turn of Class 37s. 2 uploaded, both in BR Green with all-yellow ends and TOPS numbers, as they should have appeared in 1974. However, due...
40035 in BR Green, around 1974. This loco was previously named 'Apapa'' but had lost its nameplate some time earlier, leaving a rust patch when...

A few more single Power Car HSTs for Formations, this time in InterCity Executive livery. I found it hard to find pics of PCs in this livery...
The 3 variations of 47256 have been updated and re-uploaded. What has changed? V1 - BR Crest and TOPS data panel removed. Bodyside livery...
I'm wondering if MT is a Crewe Works addition? Perhaps indicating something is empty? Fuel tank perhaps?
I think you may be right. A mod require and a re-upload. Thanks David. :)
47256 caught fire in 1977 and repairs included a repaint. Suprisingly, this wasn't into BR Blue, but rather the loco received a unique livery -...
47256 with over-painted numbers and heavily weathered BR crest as appearing in 1974 [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 47256 in 1976, now without BR crest, but...
Going back to Class 47s, here are some TOPS numbered 2-Tone Green 47s, and one with a twist! 47094. Notice the overpaint covering the old numbers...

2 HSTs in BR Blue & Grey, by request. These are Power Cars only and have different numbers on either side for use in Formations. First is 43024...
A few more. First up is 2 Class 47s in early 1970s BR Blue livery with TOPS numbers but still retaining an alpha-numeric headcode. 47401 [ATTACH]...
I don't remember that livery, mind you, it was 1987 and I wasn't out and about around that time, and missed quite a bit.
47333 in Dutch livery [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 47975 'The Institution of Civil Engineers'[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Great pics, David! The idea of 'dead' locos crossed my mind when I was doing those steam formations. That would be a good addition. My only...
David, you are too generous. Yes sadly, bufferbeams tend to be out of bounds, which is a pain. Anyway, we all have our superpowers, yours is...

I thought I had better do an inventory of my Livery Editor and see what I need to upload - I stopped counting at 125! I tend to prepare assets in...
Hmm, this is bitter-sweet to write this. I've got to the point in my preparations for my 1958 WCML scenario to be uploaded, all formations and...

The development of my first WCML scenario has seen an upload of a few items in readiness. As you may have noticed, a number of Green diesels and...
A couple of poor pics of 20176, complete with 'Ferret & Dartboard', 8176 numbers under the TOPS number, and a glimpse of the alphanumeric...
Just read what I've written about the 20. The thing is, they never lost their domino's for plated yellow!
Oh, I'd forgotten about that! Thanks for the research. I think I've always assumed that all headcoded locos got domino's, but actually I always...
When I did my D1500 / 47401 sequence of repaints, I had to choose between using the WSR 47 which gives alphanumeric headcodes, but with a...
