Almost there with my latest Network Rail 153 Video Inspection train - just got to paint the front cameras up and I’m calling her done! Converted from an old Central Trains liveried Hornby unit I’ve also added white inspection LEDs under the body #TMRGUK

@FirstGW_00 @erixtar1992 @cavalexmodels I’ve gone for 4 as well - life’s too short 👌🏻👍🏻

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

@MillsyModels @mattymidland @cavalexmodels @RailFreight Superb stuff 👌🏻👍🏻

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Another Class 60 from @cavalexmodels has appeared (oops 😉) this time in DC Rail Freight version livery from @Hornbymag and Key Publishing. Lovely detail and this is the full sound version too, so I’ll have to have a play later 😉👍🏻 #TMRGUK

@alanlmsca @accurascale Thanks man 🙏 Yep, full hazchem suit, rubber gloves, the works ☢️

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

First of my @accurascale nuclear consists to reach the workbench was the dragon rake PFA’s. Medium weathering on these, plus a few extra bits of detail. Hunt couplings used within the rake plus a bit of extra weight to keep the wagons seated. #TMRGUK #accurascale

@MillsyModels @cavalexmodels I’m going to hold off for a bit till I’ve got a few more photo references of the real thing - it’s only going to look more amazing with a bit of ‘in service’ dirt on it tho 😉👌🏻👍🏻

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

I guess there’s a few people woken up to one of these little beauties arriving at their door - the @cavalexmodels Class 60’s have started to arrive. Amazing model can’t wait for the others to appear 👌🏻👍🏻 #TMRGUK

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Another project catchup post. Went to town on the @RapidoTrainsUK Satlink Lomac. Lots of additional detail and weathering really brought out the detail in this model #TMRGUK

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Playing catchup on some recent projects I forgot to put up - this short rake of @BachmannEurope TEAs have been debranded, detailed and weathered - makes up a nice short rake #TMRGUK

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Final finishing touch and another rake of Railfreight era @cavalexmodels BBAs have been finished. Managed a couple of EWS examples too. Loads from the excellent @GoodwoodScenics really finish them off #TMRGUK #IMRGUK

@DibsYard @DapolRailways @hornby Thanks mate 🙏👍🏻

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Finally finished off my @DapolRailways FEA-B Fastline rake. Looking nice and sparsely populated as they did towards the end of their operating days. Next up is to sort my Fastline liveried @hornby Class 56 with weathering and sound 👌🏻👍🏻 #TMRGUK

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Started on a rake of @BachmannEurope JJA’s, repainting and weathering them to look like a Network Rail rake. Sacrilege I know as these are quite collectible but I thought meh and went ahead anyways 😜 Almost 3 done now and should look nice when finished #TMRGUK

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

@Big_Controller @DapolRailways @hornby Cheers mate - another of the list of projects to do 🤔🙄

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

@MillsyModels @DapolRailways @hornby Thanks mate 🙏 can’t beat a bit of filth to make them shine 🤔😉

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Having a clear out on duplicate workbench projects. So first up Bachmann Class 66’s. All mint, boxed, run superbly, end details added but come with couplings too. £75 inc postage for the GBRF & F’liner, £80 inc postage for the DCC’d DRS one. DM me if interested 👍🏻 #TMRGUK

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

@MillsyModels @WestHillWagon Cheers mate 🙏 actually used this project to try out some new washes from Games Workshop which turned out OK in the end 😉👍🏻

[Cradley Bridge @CradleyBridge]

Quick project for the workbench - turning the YWA salmons into a YFA. Easy with the crane kit from @WestHillWagon Suitably weathered and with just some lengths of rail to add, it adds a bit of variety to the infrastructure rake 👍🏻 #TMRGUK
