Diesel bashing

Just building a split box 37/0 myself so interesting to see someone else doing similar.

Will swipe the idea of adding the brake piping to the bogie frames if I can work out where it runs!

I best get some 1960s Southern battered together

Wot :eek:.... late 1960's battered? Single the line, raze the station buildings, add a bus shelter, turn the good yard into a car park and drain the canal. Not forgetting the 3rd rail and an early blue 2-EPB ;).

With a name like Newhurst it really ought to be ex-LBSCR and SECR stock :), however, a third rail and some BR(S) green 2-Bil and 2-Hal units would look good though.

I'm not quite sure what Newhurst is meant to represent, presumably somewhere in the New Forest? If the mainline much of the track was relaid in flatbottom by the early '60s and much relaid again prior to electrification. What are the station buildings based on?

With a name like Newhurst it really ought to be ex-LBSCR and SECR stock :)

Eh? The place name element, 'Hurst' just means wooded hill in Old English (so as a really historic place name, Newhurst doesn't make an awful lot of sense: what could be new about it? It could be some sort of later settlement, most likely Norman or Victorian but chances are not in between*). Though most common across southern England from Somerset and Gloucestershire to Kent - though most common in Hampshire and Sussex - there are examples across England as far north as Northumbria.

Back on diesels for a change, alternating between full sized 47 643 and an MM1 47 as 47461 Charles Rennie Mackintosh which will be in Scotrail livery.
A few mods to get it correct for the era, as well as modifying plough brackets, handy when you are intimate with the real thing.

Lovely kit one of the best ones produced by Laurie.

Some diesel bogie painting for 24069, 37183, 37401, 37408 and a spare set thrown in for the future 37403 - can’t beat modelling a loco that is in service after helping with a bit of 1:1 modelling on it.

Doing a bit of 1:1 25 235 bogie bashing was a good incentive to get back on to painting the bogies.
