Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 01/06/2025The Class 101 DMU now has buffer beam detail and Kadees between the coaches. It really is a sweet runner and stands up well against the latest models. Still got to sort the headcodes, etc. #modelrailways #DMU #trains #class101 #britishrail 041

Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 06/05/2025A bit of DMU running, in the shape of a green 117 unit. I originally intended to respray the unit in blue, but I think I'll just add yellow warning panels now. #modelrailways #trains #class117 #DMU 030
Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Back to the early 1970s and Brush Type 4, 1659 heads the Sheffield - Newton Abbot motorail. The train consist includes Newton & Chambers car carriers and Mk1 first class coaches. #modelrailways #class47 #trains #motorail #Newton&Chambers 060

Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 05/04/2025A bit of a running session with 1200 'Falcon'. Powered by two Maybach MD655 engines (like the Westerns), it was built by Brush in 1961 and withdrawn in 1976. #modelrailway #modelrailways #trains #InterCity #BSMRGUK #Class53 #Brush 050

Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 15/03/2025More InterCity action, this time it's 37430 'Cwmbran', maybe heading for the Cambrian Coast? A scene enthusiasts and holidaymakers in the 1980s and 1990s looked forward to every summer. #class37 #trains #InterCity #BSMRGUK #modelrailways ##modelrailway 060

Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Sorted a few running issues with this rake, a couple of the bogies were tight and derailing. The underframes have been weathered, as have the wheels. Next job is the roofs. 47435 provides the motive power. #modelrailways #class47 #trains #modelrailway #Mk2 #Mk1s 040
Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Park Royal built Class 103. There are two vehicles, DMBS 50413/DTCL 56169 are preserved at the Helston Railway. Thanks for sharing. 010

Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 26/01/2025A run out for the new arrivals, 31435 and 47435. Detailing the buffer beams and weathering are on the "to-do" list. #modelrailways #class31 #class47 #trains 040
Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Dug this one out of a box. Originally, I'd converted it to EM gauge, but didn't end up using it. So, with some OO gauge wheels popped back in, it was time for a test run. #Class101 #Hornby #DMU #modelrailways 060

Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 20/12/202447537 'Sir Gwynedd/County of Gwynedd' with an InterCity express. These Dapol Mk2s have been re-wheeled using Hornby wheels, but to improve the running, all the bogies are now fitted with brass bearings. #modelrailways #class47 #trains #modelrailway #railway #InterCity 1112
Nigel @d1500.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Anything goes. Time to give D0260 'Lion' a run. This loco was a stunning looking machine, built by BRC&W, Sulzer and AEI. In the spring of 1962 it ascended the Lickey incline with twenty coaches in tow. Withdrawn in 1964 from Finsbury Park, it's now a legend. #Lion #modelrailway #D0260 #trains 081
