Down on Beaverbrook: Road test…
99% complete RS23 8032 stretches her legs for the first time ‘in service’ on Beaverbrook this weekend…
The model, a Kaslo Shops kit has joined the HMLX fleet and is in a patched out CP Rail action red paint scheme. Rolling on a Bachmann Alco S2 chassis she’s a smooth running addition and I’m looking forward to enjoying playing, sorry, operating her in the days and weeks ahead.
Wipers, mirrors/wind deflectors and the last of the weathering aside, she’s done. If you’re interested in seeing me and the model ‘in the flesh’ we’ll be at Warnerley with Paul Marshall-Potter operating his layout ‘Maple River’. Let me know if you’re coming, I’ll keep an eye out for you! Until next time enjoy your weekend…

Hi James
ReplyDeleteThought the RS-23 looked good on Friday but with the weathering etc now really has the feel of a working loco. Not too much oil and grime but enough. Hope you will do a "Down on Beaverbrook" with it.
Have a good weekend
Best regards
Alan
Thanks Alan, you won't need to wait too long, I'm uploading such a video to the 'members area' of the my channel this evening - it should be live before ten. I'll make it public tomorrow...
DeleteHi James, do you have a link for the exhibition you and Paul M-P are exhibiting at? I couldn’t find anything when, I googled. No rush to reply; have a Saturday night. Best, Jonathan
ReplyDeleteIt is the Warners show at the NEC, the old Warley weekend.
