martin_l_jones Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Credit to ROS for commissioning the model, lets hope it sells well... Is it not time for discussion on price / new tooling to move to a new thread and leave this one on the topic of the Rails limited edition? Given that there are several limited edition 66s from several different organisations, it is a little unfair on Rails that this one seems to be the main focus of discussion. Edit: even more so given other organisations are being mentioned. Roy Agree and credit to ROS for commissioning the model, lets hope it sells well... Put my money where my mouth is and ordered one !

classy52 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yes looks really nice, can't remember but will the nameplates be pre-fitted or left up to the customers? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Rails Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hi, Thanks for your message. An etched nameplate will be included with the model to be fitted by the customer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi Oliver, Noticed today on the Rails web shop that you now have DCC Sound & Weathering options for both Poppy & Maritime One. For the ESU V4 sound chip who's sound project are you going to use? For the weathering will the customer have options to choose from or will it be one grade of weathering i.e. light, medium or heavy? Lastly, would the customer be able to choose DCC Sound & Weathered? Regards Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastly, would the customer be able to choose DCC Sound & Weathered? Regards Steve Hi Steve, Thanks for your message. Yes it will be the ESU V4.0 sound chip using the south west digital sounds. When ordering weathering we can put special request for the grade of weathering yes but this would need to be made at the point of ordering and a special order will be sent. The standard weathering is usually medium. If you were wanting sound and weathering, you would simply order the DCC sound version and then also add the custom weathering product: https://railsofsheffield.com/custom-weathering-service-n-oo-gauge-locos-only--JJJA32284 Thanks Oliver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Just a heads up, spoke to Rails and they are looking at end-Feb release to customers for this 66...my wallet gets a welcome reprieve until next pay day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIAM Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Just a heads up, spoke to Rails and they are looking at end-Feb release to customers for this 66...my wallet gets a welcome reprieve until next pay day. Agreed. From what felt like a long quiet spell for 00 modern image everything is now coming around the same time; Bachmann 47s, 66s & 70s, Hornby 87s, DJM Class 92 next installment, Heljan 26s, Oxford Rail Mk3a etc., phew! Unfortunately, like most of us, I cannot afford everything at the same time so will have to be selective and hope other items don't sell out in the meantime. Great to have the choice though!

I'm surprised there is no mention of the Royal British Legion anywhere since I assumed the remembrance poppy is a trademark of theirs. For a similar example we have the Revolution Trains 'Poppy' Pendolino on the way and a donation from each sale of that particular model will go to the Royal British Legion.

RMweb Gold Ely_South Posted April 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2018 Think I’m more impressed with the boxes! Models look great too. Ditto what classy52 said :-D Ditto too, although I bet we have to wait at least a year or two for another run of sheds to get Dusty Bin and/or 66789. Just to be clear - No certificates supplied with either of the Rails sheds (Poppy or Maritime). And the Poppy emblem (and nameplates) are supplied separately; not fitted. Off to run them now :-) Cheers Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_H Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I’m still waiting as I got sent maritime one not poppy :-( I rang a week ago, very helpful in helping me send it back but yet mine has not arrived yet! Hopefully this week for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi everyone, Rails 66614 had been a loco I was interested in but due to so many factors had held off purchasing. I happened to browse their website a couple of nights back and was delighted to spot some bundle deals with both limited 66’s and Dapol wagons. For £250 I got a 66 and 4 packs of Dapol FEA Freightliner flats. They arrived very well packed today and I must say the 66 box sleeve is superbly designed. Well done to the team at Rails. thanks Mark 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
