Happy anniversary to all at the DGR!

I'd never actually thought about your exclusively steam offerings before but yes, come to think of it it does seem strange with a relatively modern diesel on the layout although I must admit that it looks rather splendid against the greens of the bamboo - and it's nicely weathered.

The Intermodals are a bit fiddly to put together but it's always a welcome sight to see a container train so it's all worth the effort involved. They're not so easy to store off the layout as most other wagons.

Every time I respond to someone I'm reminded of another weathering job I have to attend to and as you mention, the pristine wagons and containers would benefit from a little dirt. Must have a go with mine one day.
