Cradley Bridge

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 👌🏻👍🏻

@erixtar1992 @cavalexmodels I've done a order of four too, hoping I don't regret the expenditure!

Im a very happy fanboy this week.. 😝 @cavalexmodels have got their superb Class 60 locomotive to market and im buzzing to play trains with them!

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

#TMRGUK No points for guessing where I am today… @mattymidland has kindly had me round at Gotham again! Keep your eyes open for a cheeky review of the new @cavalexmodels Class 60! In the meantime, @RailFreight 66415 ‘You are Never Alone’ pulls a rake of PCA’s.

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 ☢️

@CradleyBridge @accurascale Hope you kept them at arms reach whilst weathering them! Hehe Great job. 🤓👍

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 😉👌🏻👍🏻

@CradleyBridge @cavalexmodels Can’t wait to see how you weather it pal!

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

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

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

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

This weekend sees The Paisley Model Railway Show.

@DibsYard @DapolRailways @hornby Thanks mate 🙏👍🏻

@CradleyBridge @DapolRailways @hornby They look superb as your work always does.

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

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

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

@CradleyBridge @DapolRailways @hornby Very nice, worth the time & effort put into these Dave 👌

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

@CradleyBridge @DapolRailways @hornby They look excellent mate! Love what you’ve done to the containers etc…

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

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

@CradleyBridge @WestHillWagon I really love watching you do these, and how you weather your wagons! Incredible!

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
