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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Finally finished my old Heljan Western - ready for the retro fleet on Cradley Bridge and destined to pull a long rake of china clay wagons. Crew figures from @Modelu3d and plates from Shawplan 👍🏻 #TMRGUK

It is always nice to see a model alongside the prototype, here is the Cavalex 56098 with the real locomotive. Our thanks to @GBRailfreight for their help and support with our Class 56 project and to UKRL at Leicester for allowing us to visit their depot for this event
