Another couple of additions to Team NYMR. The NYMR Breakdown train was stabled up at Grosmont. Obviously there is no Breakdown crane available, but the support coach and a support van can be modelled. Here they are: DB 975455 This van is a representation of the Van used for the Breakdown train, which has no identification numbers. I have named it for use on the Creator's Club: Team NYMR Breakdown Van Red
A quick visit to Formation Editor and here is a stock transfer train from NYMR to A.N.Other heritage railway, stabled in the carriage sidings at Middlesbrough
Team Mid-Hants is next on the Collections list (I still have to complete the 2-Car Class 101 for NYMR and KWVR) and first to be added to the Creator's Club are 08032 and D8059. 08032 is the same loco as my Foster Yeoman No. 33, but since preservation has reacquired its TOPS number, but retains its Yeoman markings.
D8059 is preserved currently in BR Green livery with small yellow panels. This number has been previously uploaded as a pair, and is now available as a single loco.
Class 47 47579 'James Nightall GC' in hybrid Large Logo livery. Read the blurb on the Creator's Club download for the naming.
With Team Mid-Hants now complete, a couple of stragglers from Team NYMR and Team KWVR. First is 2-car Class 101 DMU 101680 'Daisy' in Green livery from Team NYMR. The Green is not quite BR Green.
Team WSR (West Somerset Railway) is next up. Seems an obvious one as the route itself is available on TSW. However, repaints are not in abundance, I've only been able to do 4: Class 09 shunter, based on the 08; Western D1010; Class 47 D1661 in BR Green and Class 115 DMU, based on the Class 101. Usual caveats regarding compromises. D4107 (09019) in BR Green
We move on to the next collection - Team Wensleydale. The railway does not have many mainline locos and the Class 14s are obviously not in game and the Class 33 is unavailable for relivery. However, there is a Class 37 and a Class 47 and quite a few Class 142 DMUs! First up is 37250 in its EWS livery. (Apologies for no EWS '3 Beasties' emblem. I hope to add it later):
Yes, I noticed that. I presume it's there after the WSR update. I screenshot my stuff in Scenario Planner. There seems to be a few set pieces with train staff and also this 4F!
Team Wensleydale continues with their Class 142 DMUs. When I started this thread, 79 years ago (!), I never expected to be adding Class 142 and the like to a heritage-themed collection. But such is life. The Wensleydale Railway has at least 4 Class 142s and I have done these 4. My understanding is that they are all currently in their as-withdrawn liveries (Northern Rail), but their website informs that 2 of them will be receiving new liveries, or rather, old liveries. So, 142018 will receive its Chocolate & Cream livery from its 'Skipper' days in the South West and 142041 will regain a variation of Regional Railways North Western Purple & Blue. To that end, I have done those 2 units in their new colours, and the others in Northern Rail without markings. 142018
Perhaps we should have a "What If?" Peak Forest livery? (Perfect for if someone did some mods to update what could be done with scenarios on that route )
OK, what were you thinking? Steam era; diesel era? Modern or retro? P.S. I'm really looking forward to a certain person doing their mods on Peak Forest!
Regarding the inclusion of a random 4F on the WSR, here is a pic Notice the lack of any numbers or emblems and the lack of smoke! And it is silent in game - no loco sound.
Was looking at some pics from the recent KWVR Diesel gala and came across another loco that I can model - a 4F stored in the Goods shed at Oxenholme - 43924 in BR Black livery. This has just been uploaded to the CC. The BR emblem is really small on this loco.
It's now the time for Team Mid-Norfolk Railway. No 08s on this railway (03s are in use though), but 47s and Class 101s as well as a Class 142. 47367 'Kenny Cockbird' in BR Blue. One nameplate is more faded than the other!
47580 'County of Essex' in BR Blue with embellishments. Not the current livery with Platinum Jubilee embellishments though.
Ah the good old Union Jack and the County series. Fond memories of watching these in my trainspotting days at Ipswich and on the GEML.
Stratford and Liv St were always special to me as I rarely got to them. The locos were elusive and with the extra livery embellishments, usually exotic! Always good to see an SF loco off the beaten track.
47596, or as it is now, D1933 in 2-tone Green with full Yellow ends and Black headcodes. I really love how the 2-tone Green blends in to the scenery - no wonder BR insisted on yellow panels and then full yellow ends!
Pacer 142061 in Northern Rail livery. The light Blue patches on the corner of the cab roofs are of unknown purpose.
