Hadn’t seen this, but very pleased! Great choice. Have ridden on the real things quite literally hundreds of times in East Anglia, whether for trips to London, getting to college, then later commuting for work or on my way to see family dotted all over East Anglia. Always used to make a beeline for the pantograph area and enjoy the scream of the traction motors, very much missed.
I have only modelled East Anglian steam to date, but I think I’ll have to build a small Southminster-inspired layout just for this, and get a sound version.
Special request from me for something East Anglian liveried in the first batch please, would absolutely love FGE but would also be happy with NXEA or Greater Anglia liveries.
And if not, if you do Silverlink or LM in the first batch, any chance of choosing a Silverlink set between 321421-437 (321415/416 also went on hire in Silverlink livery) or one of 321411/417 in London Midland please, as these operated out of Liverpool Street in those liveries at various times.
Very pleased, and hope it sells well!
