Prop Reveals - Day 8
I am proud to say that I am the new owner of the close-up scale Fergus prop!
This is the culmination of my collection and I am insanely grateful to have something like this in my possession.
This is certainly an item that I will treasure for life.
As always, it was an absolute pleasure displaying with @NWModelers for Trainfest in Milwaukee! I was sad to have missed the show last year, but this time more than made up for it!
Massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the display and to all the fantastic members of NWM!
@EdwardKing02 Question for you-
Does the face sheet account for duplicates? I know that the two unused angry faces that TankMerch has are both later HiT dupes that are lacking the wrinkles of the originals (which are on display in Japan right now).
@brendam_engine Many of the EWS Maroon and Gold 66s took years to be repainted and even today, there are a few left in EWS maroon and gold. However, theyβd be patched for DB Schenker like the first image here.
There are two left in full EWS: 66119 and 66129. Basically, you can get away with it
@brendam_engine So the way that the UK works means that none of Britainβs freight carriers own the tracks. DB Schenker, GBRf, and DRS will all be operators into Barrow. EWS died in 2007, but all of its 66s went to other companies, many were sold to DB Schenker. 1/2
@galagalagallan Origins James was made in a different factory than the Learning Curve ones 5 years after. There is absolutely zero way for that face to have been put on. The only option is that somebody opened the box, swapped the face, and put it back together. Itβs happened before.
