The Pride of your model railroad

[colinknapp]

as sad is this may sound... i actually refer to my faviourite as 'Pride of the line'

The current holder of this prestigious title is a GWR Pannier Tank
made by Bachman

The Smoothest Runner is a Hornby Fowler 2-6-4T in LMS Maroon Livery

The Winner of Best Rolling Stock goes to a LMS Breakvan made by hornby which features a working tail light

The Best Junk Award (thats right this model came from the local Rubbish Transfer Station) goes to A German Diesal Shunter (0-6-0) which posseses directional lights and is blue and was boxed

All Locos/Rolling Stock are OO Guage

Here are two more pics of my 218 which I took last night as sort of a lighting test, they came out far better than I thought they would.

Have Maglite, have HO track (as a camera mount), will take pictures.

This one was a test exposure shot (8 seconds), I think I bumped it.

Note: neither of these pictures have been edited at all, the only thing I've done is change the image format so imageshack would accept it.

Wilee: You live in Germany?...Great. lol...

Well, here's a pic of the pieces anyways...

And just a few shots of my other German loco (which is in BEAUTIFUL condition):





And just for the curious...a shot of my Rivarossi Big Boy!

 

[eldavo]

Can't make my mind up between these...

Hornby Class 60, Bachmann 66, Bachmann 57 and a Hornby 08. All stunning models and run beautifully under DCC control. Only problem child is the 57 which is very picky about trackwork.

Cheers

[WileeCoyote]

I couldn't resist

A 66? You run a microwave on your layout? My this infestation is worse than I thought, first they start creeping into freight service along the Rhein, and now it comes to this? Beware... the invasion is coming:hehe:

[Spawn_of_Chaos97]

Hey Wilee, you seem to know a bunch about German stuff. What is Fleischmann part number 519?

 

[hurleyco]

Id have to say my 5'' gauge live steam QR PB15, looks like the real thing, works like the real thing, cause it is the real thing, only smaller......

hurleyco.

 

[Paulsw2]

Well, I loved my Lima Deltic which I carefully repainted in a better shade of corporate blue and put on new numbers and nameplates (was it 55007 Pinza?)

Anyway, it's been in a box in my mate's attic now for 28 years! :'(

 

[S301]

Pride of my collection eh?

Best steam:
Pendennis Castle by Hornby (great runner, and is on DCC)

Best diesel:
VR S class by Hornby (not the best runner, but it's an S class and is on DCC! )

Second best steamie is my VR V class 2-8-0 by 'linkline'/'powerline'/'frateschi'
Nice little loco, not a great runner and doesn't have DCC (yet).

Pic of my S and V on some junk flex track sitting on my new (under construction) layout.

Recently the sun decided to take a peek out of the clouds without checking that I was awake, so before it could hide I whipped out my camera and my section of S 49 rail and took some pictures...

In N scale I have...

My Athearn BNSF SD75M

And in L scale I have...

My Lego Dash-8 40CW, made from the hobby train kit without using any additional pieces (instructions here).

[voyager101]

Mine would be my Hornby Virgin Pendolino:hehe:

 

[Spawn_of_Chaos97]

And in L scale I have...

My Lego Dash-8 40CW, made from the hobby train kit without using any additional pieces (instructions here).

WileeCoyote

Haha L-scale...y'know, the Dash 8-40CW is longer than that...run out of parts?

Nice either way!

 

[spiffy101]

Haha L-scale...y'know, the Dash 8-40CW is longer than that...run out of parts?

Nice either way!

Can only go song long Spawn. Wilee, isn;t the Hobby Train great?

 

[jivebunny]

In N scale I have...

Hmm I think that track is a bit out-of-scale :hehe:

Mine would be this lot (sold them about a year ago though..)

 

[WileeCoyote]

Can only go song long Spawn. Wilee, isn;t the Hobby Train great?

Yeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss, it is:wave::hehe:, in fact I've considered buying another kit and making one of these...

Yes I know it looks familiar, I just happen to like them

Don't ask how I got into the depot, I'll never tell you!:hehe:

[eldavo]

Some of us can't resist tinkering even when the model is a stunner to start with. This is the Class 08 in my earlier pic and it was only when I started attacking this model with my paintbrush I realised just how much detail there is...

Certainly not the Hornby of my youth and it's a little strange to be messing around with a 3 dimensional Class 08 model after spending months working on a Trainz version.
