Looking at the Sytrex HAA's they didn't have wheels or buffer heads included and I would lack the patience to build, paint and decal 36. With the shops discount the Dapol HAA's are an attractive alternative. Regards

Has there been any news since the HAA EP? Dapol's site says they will be evaluated by the 3rd quarter 2017. I've heard nothing more since this and I expect the cost per wagon will go up again by the time they are finally released (currently £49.95 RRP on Towers site). I have 36 on pre-order and hopefully they wont go up in price. Years have gone past since they were first annunced and other models seem to have been announced after these and keep getting to production first.

Many may have been the wrong phrase to be honest although I have seen a few people doing the conversions, even the person I sold my old set of Heljan sides to when I did a 57 conversion can't seem to help me. Howes have none at all and the MMP ones have run out. I'm pretty much up a certain creak without a paddle, haha. If you ever need to let them go please do let me know, I'd be eternity grateful.

No problem, there has been been many conversions but no one seems to have the original Heljan ones they took off the loco. If they do reappear please let me know

Lovely work on the 47 Brian! I was wondering do you (or anyone for that matter) have any spare Heljan 47 bogies side frames left over from any MMP conversions? Cheers

Is there anymore available via the crowd fund? As I am no longer in any Facebook groups.

What radius corners will these be able to negotiate? Cheers

Is it just the HEA's that are in tooling or the HAA's too? The website says the HAA's are in final CAD/CAM. Can't wait to get my hands on the rake of HAA's I have on order.

I've tried wiring as per Heljans instructions but the lights only work one way. I'm not good enough with DCC to wire them up full switchable via DCC and I wanted to keep the circuit board to operate them manually. In using a Loksound L by the way.

I'm surprised with the price when Dapol can do the 08 for almost half the price. Should be a good model though hopefully.

Why should we have to live a model that has a RRP of 625?! I know I would repaint any, but that's besides the point. If we are unhappy to get a refund, but what happens to the people who wanted a load haul, why should they have to correct it or pay someone to correct it. I agree the model is a good model but it should not have this issue. I hope it doesn't affect any retailers finically as its a lot of money to have tied up so I hope they let the shops return unsold stock.

I haven't even got a 60 yet, so you'll defo beat me! Purchased 4 duffs the other month and skint me for the 60's.

Well spotted, even I had missed that! Luckily when mine arrive I will be doing colas and maybe the DBS teenage cancer trust loco.

I best get the filler out for the gangway doors

Unfortunately it isn't cheap, but it's that or build a full take of wagons.. Which I do not have the patience to do! Haha. I have access to a layout where I can run then which is a bonus until I build an outdoor track (been meaning to for years!).
