Well every day is a school day! My memory must have been playing tricks on me as i was sure i remembered seeing them in that livery in the early 1990s (one of afternoon Manchester-New Street trains regularly had a parcels electric on it ... I must have confused the livery with the 86s which also appeared.

I also think the pre-RES parcels red/grey would also go down well (90016-90020 inclusive if i remember correctly).

Does anyone know if you paid the deposit by Paypal are you protected through them ? I ask because it appears that I used a Paypal balance for mine (which is unusual for me as I normally set the default payment to a credit card for additional protection).

also received the update email and thought great. (Post edited)

Well, I wish I had seen all of this re: Malcom's models before I placed an order. As sales goes, 35% off didn't seem too excessive to me. Time will tell if it proves to be fake and at least the card I used to pay expires at the end of the month! i'll update as an when I know anything. When I looked, there were many items which didn't have any stock, which suggests either others had bought the last remaining stock (or fake stock!) or it is all part of an elaborate scam. fingers crossed!

49 sales to go now :-)

Hi does anyone have one of these that they would like to sell? - I'm after one for an extension to my existing depot layout. Many thanks Chris

And now another with a Cheltenham model centre limited edition DRS 37038 for £21.13 with free postage!! Even has the friendly text in the description from "Derek"

... and for that reason Charlie has just had my order! Was going to get a non sound one and upgrade later but it made sense to get Charlie to fit it first

I would go for Nowich -Liverpool which would cover a large area of the country and operating areas. Also Cardiff/Birmingham -Nottingham or perhaps slightly less popular Lincoln - Coventry ?

Think the dangerous ground referred to is the issues had with a manufacturer who the 33 was going to be produced with. Anyway, we have a 24 which is by far the best RTR diesel you can get and I think it clear that we all want more (97201 please!). As for future models, logic would say a 25. However whatever comes next, it will be a winner if it is as good as the 24.

As I don't think we have had an intercity mainline cl 47 from either Heljan, ViTrains or Bachmann that would get my vote.

Whilst I would agree with this, we would also need a BCK and a buffet to make up the charter rake. Plus some nice white roofed intercity liveried Mk3 sleepers (I still have my Lima ones waiting for a roof repaint!) Having said that, are the new Hornby mk1s that much better than the Replica ones ...

Here's a thought (and a question for Dave), as this is a crowd funded loco, how about having an unnamed, unbranded version (a la Heljan O gauge locos), and if you want to model to produce a specific loco you can order that one - and if it meets the minimum number hey presto - it will be made. Any thoughts? Either way I'm looking forward to this
