This is a rush job for Graham as it is needed on Saturday (1/3/25) at the O Gauge Guild Show at Kettering. This Loco will also appear on Morlock Heath, now owned by Graham. It has been weathered to a medium standard and with it working on Diesel power in an engineers yard.
Yes, I had to look it up too! A ZYV is a four wheel Cement Mixer Wagon. This was 3D printed by Graham and weathered by myself. Thanks go to Paul Bartlett wagons website for giving me a clue to what was required.

This seems to have got lost in the system! I did this about a week ago. Standard Grey 16T with coal load, using my standard five weathering colours. Some stippling, dry brushing, then washes and finally sprayed. I have included a close-up of the chassis for info!
This is a standard O Gauge Heljan Model, However as you view it today, it is not finished! I ordered some Oleo round Class 37 buffers as this Loco, 37050 retained round buffers during the period modelled, but sadly I have not received them! I really wish that Traders would only advertise what they have in stock and also not take my money before being in stock.
If anyone has a spare set of Heljan class 37 round oleo buffers will they please contact me through this site – shanks only would be fine.
This time we have two East Anglian based class 37’s. Both have the extra strengtheners in the cant rail grilles. They are both Heljan O Gauge models, but one is an older model with domino headcodes and buffer cowls, the other is a later Model with marker lights and no buffer cowls. I believe they were both March (MR) engines at the same time.
This is the latest Heljan O Gauge Class 45, the first time an ETH Loco has been produced by them. Here we have 45 109, a loco with all grills exposed and marker lights. This is pre headlight fitting, so firmly based in the early-mid 80’s. Its a bit of a plain selection and was never named. It is weathered in a medium ‘workaday’ condition.
These two locos were purchased by my Son for use on his Grub Lane Layout. They were purchased at a very good price in a recent sale. I have weathered them to a medium to heavy standard. They still need to have a crew added.
