Still here

Hi, just a note to say I'm still here and will be actually working on the depot layout very soon, a nice set of baseboards have been ordered with http://www.whiterosemodelworks.co.uk/.

Also as mentioned in a previous post, I'm pleased to announce two excellent locomotives on the way in HO from TOMIX, first for summer 2010 we have the JRF EF66-100 and soon the nice red thunder EF510.

Christmas Gifts

For my Christmas Gifts this year my wife and kids put together and bought me two nice electric locos for the fleet, first we have the KATO EF65-1000 in Rainbow Express colours, I do have the TOMIX EF81 to match so a nice bright pair of models for the layout,

I was really pleased that for my second loco they had managed to obtain the rare TOMIX EF64-1015 in two tone blue JRFreight colours, this loco I have been informed is the only one in its class in this scheme, the loco men didnt approve as they say its easy to confuse with an EF65 series so further repaints were in blue and white, this brings my total EF64-1000 rosta up to four locomotives, with news of a new manufacturer "AClass models" introducing the EF64-0000 series of locos in 1/80 HO i can see this class becoming very numerous on the layout.
