Side on view of 50 008 'Thunderer', taken at Brighton during it's brief stop in platform 2 working a Branch Line Society tour which had originated from Eastleigh. The tour visited Portsmouth & Southsea and then the termini along the Sussex 'coastway' routes', before heading to Cannon Street in London.
Greetings everyone! After a couple of months work I am proud to present my minifigure scale Zeta-class cargo shuttle.
“Manufactured by Telgorn Corporation with Sienar Fleet Systems, the Zeta-class shuttle carries a modular ‘interstellar orange’ cargo pod for versatility mounted on a 35.5m length frame.”
Ever since Rogue One introduced the design, the industrial mining tug aesthetic appealed to me. It has the kit-bashed sensibility that I love in Star Wars, so I set about a UCS sized build.
The lower cargo deck has space for troops and features a communications patch bay. I’m still working on finishing touches to the upper deck, but it houses the two seat command console and aft tech station.
The gearing mechanism from 10212 locks the wings upright. By simply lifting the top deck away I can adjust the angle if required. The wingspan measures 1.15m, so I have yet to find space to photograph the wings in flight mode!
During construction I used LDD for rapid prototyping. I still need to update the final build into the program, but the current ballpark is 4000 pieces.
The Rogue One ultimate visual guide and Battlefront Scarif DLC were invaluable for determining the proportions.
My personal technique for ‘minifigure scale’ is to calculate in-universe size against stud length. Small craft like speeders and skimmers skew towards 4.0s/m, starfighters 3.5s/m and large craft (e.g. UCS Slave 1 and Lambda shuttle) at 2.7s/m.
Therefore I aimed for 92s long and 75s high. The final model measures 88s (l) 70s (h) 48s (w) / 70cm (l) 56cm (h) 38cm (w).
Finally I threw together a Scarif landing pad for a diorama.
Hope you all like it!

A pair of two car Gloucester Railway & Carriage Works class 100 DMU's rasp away from Marston Green station on their Journey to Rugby Midland, possibly the 4.20 PM. The train is passing over the road crossing. the gates were controlled by the signal box next to the footbridge
On the platform the lad porter has two heavy looking rolls, one on his shoulder the other tucked under his arm, they will have arrived on the DMU. The senior man, complete with his official cap, has the more important duty of watching the train go past.
The station was still gas lit, a lamp is visible both sides and a lovely lantern juts out over the building doorway, perhaps it is the camera angle but the OHL mast looks as if it directly in front of the door!

Czech Railways tri-voltage Class 380 electric loco 380 007-5 at Prague Main Station on 7th October 2017. The Type 109E locos designed in 2004 have been the subject of a dispute between manufacturer Škoda and Czech Railways. Of an order for twenty, placed in 2005, it was was not until 2013 before the class received main line a certification for use in the Czech Republic. Their proposed use on the Prague-Dresden-Berlin-Hamburg route was scrapped and Siemens Vectron locos were leased instead. A Deutsche Bahn order for locos of this class (designated Class 102 in Germany) from Škoda has also experienced similar certification issues.

South Western Railway class 442408 & 442403 pass Potbridge working this evening's 9B95 1848 London Waterloo to Poole service. 27/06/2019.
387207 approaches Downham Market, at the head of the 1T41 1444 King's Lynn to London King's Cross Great Northern service - 07/10/2021.
A fabulous walk today. We took the train from Downham Market to Watlington & then walked all the way back home along the Fen Rivers Way footpath, with a stop at our favourite local pub near Stowbridge for lunch. I noticed a 'tomato' had gone up to King's Lynn & was on the correct end for this shot, so I diverted over here on the way home to see it return & also to photograph a Middleton Towers sand train behind it. I managed to grab this train with the sun out, but just ran out of luck with the sand train by a couple of minutes.
With a decade having elapsed since this locomotive was named to commemorate the class's Golden Jubilee, this shot of DRS Class 37/6 37601 "Class 37 - Fifty" stabled at Didcot was taken back in 2012 when the power station cooling towers were still intact...
A Southern class 171 formation arrives at Crowborough, with the 16.33 Uckfield to London Bridge service. Some snow from earlier in the week has still not thawed during the current cold snap.
Very much a spur of the moment shot after spotting the puddle on the platform when returning from 'The Wheatsheaf' pub. Inspiration aided by three and a half pints of 'Harvey's Best' in the aforementioned pub!
Class 47 diesel locomotive No. 47205, restored into Railfreight Distribution livery, waits to take over the demonstration freight working at Pitsford & Brampton Station during Northampton & Lamport Railway’s Winter Gala on 8th February 2020.
The Class 47 is a Brush design and 47205 is one of 512 examples built between 1962 and 1968. It is a class that has proven to be a very successful mixed traffic (passenger and freight) diesel locomotive.

With the imminent replacement with 31/4 and hauled stock, the Inter-City Trans-Pennine Class 123 & 124 units were in their last days. I liked these units. They were comfortable and powerful and the Class 123 ex WR units rode extremely well.
A few weeks earlier and with a Class 124 DMCL at the buffer end a unit prepares for another run across the Pennines 4th May 1984
