just was at the Hatton's page for another pre-order when I noticed that since pre-ordering the class 66 almost all details changed - well my name is the same
, but new phone number because of new job and credit card changed for some fraud reasons.... quickly updated everything, otherwise no loco will be at my doorstep 
so guys - it is quite some time since Hatton's announced the 66 - have you updated your details??
The men makes a very good point

The Powerhaul livery looks good, I can just see it standing next to a Pink 'one' loco

Always happy to oblige ND. Although the October forecasted deliver has come and gone, but rest assured as soon as I get my early order I will post some pictures and a video. However, under no circumstances will I be doing an unboxing video!
Have you had any word from Hatton's? I may have missed my e-mail
-
Thank you yes they look right for £4.95 I'll have a look, I've just ordered a set

I'm sure this has been asked loads of times but I'm hoping to fit my Hornby 01 with Westinghouse pumps as it would have had when working from the Tyne dock
I seem to remember that Dave Alexander did them but as yet I've had no luck finding anything on his web site.
Any help is very welcome.

I've been meaning to ask you this for a while, but when you were given your class 45xx was it in the shirt button livery or did you re-do it. I've not been able to find one in this livery
-
So are we going to see the horse then?

not sure if this is the place for it...but anyway just received my Bachmann class 57 -57302 'Chad Varah' it has to be one of the best weathered locos I've seen in a while the detailing looks very good it even has the white lines on the wheels which I think are from the wheel lathe but I may be wrong?
The thing I came on here to say was how impressed I was with the price, packaging and service from the Class 37 group well done.

If I had to guess, then I would say it was loaded from an end dock with bulks of timber stepped down to get the heavy (rear end) on first, then removed when as far back as possible. The engine would then be driven forward to push up against a timber bulk whilst the rear wheel was wedged into place with another piece...
very good answer, that'll show them

The one thing I don't like about 'unpacking videos' is that they make me think...so its a fact you are the only one who ever drops a new loco

66783 was around my area working the Walsham tanks.
03 July 2019
Gissing
66783, The Flying Dustman, on 6P41, 09:57, Harwich Refinery CRLS SLVS - North Walsham GBRF (12:48) - empty condensate tanks (TEA)
The loco runs light to Ipswich after leaving the tanks at Walsham
Tivetshall
66783, The Flying Dustman, on 0A33, 14:27, North Walsham GBRF - Ipswich Reception GBRF (16:33) - light engine
The next day the loco works back to Walsham (I didn't photograph this as I was decorating) and then brings the tanks South

Great Moulton
66783, The Flying Dustman, on 6A32, 13:34, North Walsham GBRF - Harwich Refinery CRLS SLVS (16:53) - loaded condensate tanks (TEA)
Is that a small extra light on the front of 66783?

I have ordered another 66 but wanted it delivered October, however I cannot find an option to pay an extra £10 for this.
I had the same problem but e-mailed Hattons help line and they did it all for me

Hi were you able to get the name plates, I've just picked 202 up as I really like the livery and would like to run it as it is today.
I was wondering how long it ran with the red 'Graham Stenning' plates?

I am going to try Narrow Planet to do the plates for us but yet to ask them. I have had their nameplates for LYN.
Not sure who does the Southern logos.

Having now received my Southern liveried 73 202 from Amanda Jane Models, I agree the instructions are very poor.
The body lifts off easily after undoing the four screws, one at each corner behind the buffer beams. The switches are easily accessed with the body off.
Mine was run-in on DC, so, apart from making sure all lights were working, I didn't initially make any adjustments, preferring to wait until I fitted a decoder. Once I fitted a decoder, a Dapol Imperium one, I tested again with the body off and set all the parameters I wanted to, then put the body on with no screws, and tested the lighting functions. All lights still worked, but not quite as I would like, with the directional headlights and cablights coming on simultaneously on F0, while the headcodes worked independently on functions 1 and 2. I eventually worked out that moving the three-position switch to the centre position fixed this (no thanks to their instruction sheet!), so now I had the following functions:
F0 = headlights, directionally workingF1 = headcode at #2 end
F2 = headcode at #1 end
F3 = cab light at #2 end
F4 = cab light at #1 end.
All my other class 73s (Dapol and Hornby ex-Lima) treat the radiator end as #1 end, treated as forwards for DCC purposes. This one treats the #2 (non-radiator) end as forwards. I will swap that so it follows the usual convention as per the other models (changing CV29). I may also swap the function allocations to reflect that, so the lower numbered function of each pair operates the #1 end lights. This will be more easily accomplished using JMRI Decoder Pro on the computer.
Anyway, here is 73 202 with headlight and headcode lights on but cab lights off.
