Dave and Raymond in Reality

So, Lately, I (Dark DJ) have been very busy bidding on Ebay and generally slightly buying things that some would shrug at, and some, like my Missus, would get absoultely furious about. However, I brought something a few nights ago that I thought could be to my advantage...

Whilst casually browing Ebay, a Le Wild LMS Liveried Black Five popped up, with an hour to go before it was sold. At this time, I was debating wether to buy a Dapol Standard 4MT, but this Black Five really tempted me, mainly because it could easily be comverted into an early version of TDRS' Main Character, "Dave".

The model was, unfortunately, numbered 5026, but no matter, today, I went out and purchased some LMS transfers, and, after an entire afternoon of work, ended up with No 5101...

So, here is the model as it arrived, as 5026...

...And here is the final result, No 5101 "Dave" ...

Whilst at the model shop, I also managed to pick up some BR Diesel Transfers, and as I had brought and denumbered a Class 47 a month ago, I decided to create...

No 47527, "Raymond"!

So far, these are the only pieces of modelling I have ever done, but I feel a sense of accomplishment, as I feel I did a good job on them. Have a gander at the images above and draw your own conclusions...

Till next time...whenever that may be...

Dark.

TDRS/GTSE Christmas Special 2011: Out Now!

Well, here it is!

The Dark Railway Series has crossed over with another popular Youtube Series, "Gary The Steam Engine", to create this crossover Christmas Special, produced by Dark DJ Productions, with help and voicing work from Rhysicus Productions, as well as Guest Voicing by Daniel R Talbot.

The Special sees the Trio, Dave, Brian and Raymond, meeting the three main characters of Gary the Steam Engine, Gary, Freddie and Flying Scotsman, during the Winter of 1962.

Everything goes well, until Christmas Eve, when Dave must collect the Christmas Presents for all the engines on the line! Gary is convinced to go with him...

Watch to find out what happens!



I'd like to say a Big Thank You to Rhys Davies (Rhysicus), as this would not be possible without his help, and Daniel Talbot, who's voice work is always appreciated by me!

I know it is a bit early to be saying, but i'll say it anyway! Happy Christmas Everyone, and a Jolly Good New Year!

Cheers,

Dark.
