Although I've been threatening for some time to get around to fitting Over-head Line Equipment to the rest of Widnes Road, and at the same time prepare a fleet of 25Kv AC Electrics; I have now finally got the majority complete, and tested, along with fitting signalling equipment including lineside cabinets etc. The results can be seen in these new photos and in the flesh at the Croydon (13-14/10) and Shoeburyness (24-25/11) model rail shows.
The new fleet comprises 2 backdated and repainted Heljan Class 86's, an extensively reworked and remotored Hornby 86 and two of the new Bachmann class 85's. At shows this will be supplemented by other Blue AC electrics owned by Mid Essex MRC member Tim Mercer.
