<p> Developing a roster - not an issue for me. My layout is set somewhere in the northern region of British Rail, just over the border. The period is late 1970´s to early 1980´s - BR´s "Blue TOPS Diesel" era. I can run just about any loco out of that era, be it a 4-axle or 6-axle loco. However, I focus on 4-axle Diesels of the class 25, called "Rat" for its ubiquitous appearance, class 26, called "MacRat" for its service in Scotland, and class 33. All of those locos saw passenger and freight service -BR´s bread and butter locos. The engine house (loco shed) is home to a "Jubilee" class 4-6-0 steamer in LMS livery. employed in steam special services.</p><p>Class 25 "Rat":</p><p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Class_25_diesel-electric.jpg/800px-Class_25_diesel-electric.jpg" mce_src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Class_25_diesel-electric.jpg/800px-Class_25_diesel-electric.jpg" width="800" height="600"> </p><p>This is my "MacRat" - the first loco on my roster:</p><p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020068.jpg?t=1270361258" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020068.jpg?t=1270361258" width="1023" height="712"></p><p>Class 33:</p><p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3219/2993472671_d5f7144e9f.jpg" mce_src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3219/2993472671_d5f7144e9f.jpg" width="500" height="336"></p><p>LMS "Jubilee":</p><p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2613/3807617756_eb5796d8ae.jpg" mce_src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2613/3807617756_eb5796d8ae.jpg" width="500" height="380"> </p><p>All of my (future) locos are available by the "Big Three" of British outline model railroading- Bachmann, Hornby and Heljan, so sourcing is not an issue.</p><p> <br></p>
