Hooray for green diesels ( and don't forget green electrics )

This looks beautiful - looking forward to it.

David after much gnashing of teeth and "fowl" language plus some comments from Mark Wiles (mainly concerning Ducks....

) here is something for East Anglia and the Thaxted Branch.
A GRCW 100 2 car set in Rail Blue, this unit is based on 2 B/W photos in Bradford&Bartons "Diesels on Eastern Region"

BUT IT'S NOT GREEN !!!!! And also what are you doing up this late !

Seriously Simon that looks a great model and it should be perfect for the Thaxted branch.

Any chance of changing the destination blind (a Cambridge / Thaxted or even Peterborough) might give more scope for Activities

David you have an email containing a unit for trial running on Thaxted.Roller blind now has Thaxted in the leading end by the way.
Derby Carriage works now has three units completed 100,104&129, hence the long hours into the night trying to get things finished

Mark Wiles has done me some seat textures and a sound and Cabview pack for the above units, all I need to do to finish the 100 and 104 is to add seating, the 129 is just waiting for the 2 Hydra variants to be finished, Alex Fairlie kindly has done me the research skin for Hydra, so it will be released as a 4 unit pack, followed by the 100 then the 104.

Hi Simon
That all sounds absolutely brilliant.

Looks like its going to be the year of the "REAL" DMUs...

Wonderful! Good old 1st-gen DMUs, much better than some of this modern rubbish

Looking forward to the glosters (Class 100)

These units infested the Edinburgh area with a large allocation at Leith diesel depot.

Ideal for early activities on Scottish Central.

Thanks for the comments, I intend building the 103 for use on Cannock Chase and the forthcoming Derby and Burton District route, as these units along with the 100's were allocated at Ryecroft.
I will be, given time doing a Cravens 105, as three car sets were allocated to Etches Park and did see use on Crewe-Derby services so would be needed for Stoke Division.
