A running in running in turn for D5803, an @accurascale.com Class 37 in green with BR double arrows. Takes me back to my 1970s spotting days.

The 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.

A 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.

Sorted 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.

Dug 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.
