RMweb Gold JohnR Posted May 16, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2010 Interesting considering the brass limited edition a couple of years ago. Does anyone knwo how that went? I heard that it didnt sell very well, but that could be due to the (perceived) high cost. Would be interested in Bulleid triplets, instead of Ivatt twins myself.

I heard that it didnt sell very well, but that could be due to the (perceived) high cost. Would be interested in Bulleid triplets, instead of Ivatt twins myself. The brass one was by FIA trains and cost c£500. I have one. I think they all sold in the end. Mine would not run properly and went back for modifications to the drive, which cured the problem. I shall almost certainly order the Bachmann one, possibly both locos, but will wait for the green ones. I'd like 10201/2/3 too - maybe they will follow. There's not much left to do now.

Hi Folks Great news this, hopefully a manufacturer or a retailer (Harburn Hobbies maybe?) could commission the NBL 21 and 29. 2 distinct cab ends and 4 or 5 liveries. Would make me happy for sure!!!

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 16, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2010 I also have one of the FIA Trains ones (and shant be parting with it, they're beauties) but I may well pick up one of these. It also represents one more step towards a RTR Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 This has to be a wind up! The Twins are pretty much the top of my (very short) diesel wishlist! Will have to attempt to acquire a pair in BR Black. If they are even close to Deltic... I may even have to sell stock for this, and I don't say something like that lightly!

Pennine MC Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 We feel that there are limits as to how many more limited edition class 47s or 37s the market can sustain Snort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 We feel that there are limits as to how many more limited edition class 47s or 37s the market can sustain Snort Where is the quote from Pennine ? I looked through this thread and the Rails webpage and couldn't find it. I think a GSYP one will be rather nice. But going back to wherever you got the quote from - I'm sure there are still a good many Scottish "Scottie" Ltd editions yet to be milked, and I would expect some well weathered CF or TE blue type 3s to be ubermarketable too.

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted May 16, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2010 A black pair for me, as per their BR(S) period. Now, who dares do one or both up in a ficticious BR Blue... Now I only hope that I have work to help pay for all these releases, as my wallet is getting seriously skinny... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 16, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2010 First column, headed FIRST RELEASES, middle of third paragraph. It's definitely there, it's not another Metrovick moment It sure is. I'm sorry mate, I tried to link the Metrovick one properly, I promise you I did, but the CoBo site wouldnt let me. BR Black for me I reckon, think it may look nice with the new Blood & Custard Staniers, and since I have an FIA 10000 I'll be getting 10001. Mad as it is, with these early announcements I know what loco's I'm planning to buy almost 2 years in advance. This along with Murphy's 071's (promised around end 2011, can see that going into 2012) and their 121's (2012) and with Lion and the Metrovicks in 2011 will keep me poor. Still, while some moan about long lead times for the manufacturers getting the piggies to market, I like it. It gives me time to save up for them!
