It’s time for a BR Blue N-Gauge revival. There’s a serious dearth of locos, EMU/DMUs in this livery. This era has huge nostalgia for 75% of model rail nerds, so how about it @bachmanneurope.bsky.social, @gaugemaster.bsky.social #Dapol, #Hornby, #RevolutionTrains?

Morning from the ELR Diesel Gala 🔥
Plenty of thrash so far today with Blue Locos dominating the line in the form of 37716, 50015 & D7076. Also body snatcher 57002 looking stunning in black 🙌

Morning all. Into a new week, I hope it’s good for you all.
Still sporting its British Rail corporate blue, 37154 sits inside Eastfield TMD receiving a bit of TLC. The loco survived until 1999, and met its end in 2000 in Wigan.

It's the 1980s all over again as 40012 'Aureol' & 45108 provide an atmospheric soundtrack to the evening as they await their next duties at Bury Bolton Street station during the final hours of the #EastLancsRailway #WinterDieselDay. #BRBlue #ELR 8/2/25

A celebration of the mighty corporate blue of British Rail on these modernisation era favourites. Also as a huge nod to all those who have posted their wonderful shots from the ELR this weekend.
Hope you all have a great week. 🙂
