Oh wow! I was looking for excuses not to undertake another (GNER) mk4 related project but I might just need to try and recreate this!

You would also be able to get away with intercity liveried mk4s with the 89 in GNER livery. It did happen very briefly Heartily recommend keen systems bits for mk4s. I’ve done two rakes of mk4s and it’s a marked improvement.

Personally, I don’t mind the delay. For me it’s the most money I’ve invested in a loco, as well as a personal favourite. I want it to be right and I have every confidence in Accurascale in this respect.

Interesting that the FLIRT sample shows a Welsh class 231/756 rather than the GA class 755, as announced. It would have been nice to have shown the running despite the apparent lack of speed…

Just cut your losses and get a refund if you paid through PayPal, mate. It’s annoying I know but you can’t run a business like that. I’ve been stung too by this concern.

Well, despite the many naysayers here, I enjoyed myself. Yes, there were some empty spaces but at least that allowed some breathing space where needed. The lack of seating did seem to be a problem for some but that’s an easy fix. My only bugbear was the arrival in Saturday morning. Loses of waiting around and no one j owing what to do, but that’s a venue issue and not the show’s organisers. Excellent range of layouts, decent trade and good value show for almost Central London 👍

Further work to the GC set. The filling job has been smoothed off but some minor work still needed for it to be 100%. The glazing has also been cut away where the windows were filled as well as the roof for the TSOE being cut to size. Next job will be cutting holes in the floor for the Keen couplers. Someone also will be doing the paint job as I can’t do it in my house. Usual uploading issues when using an apple device. Deal with it.

Calbourne is on the back burner for now, having been screwed over by Modelmaster. There is also a 313 and 89 in the works as time and motivation permit. Latest project is turning some old Hornby mk4s into a Grand Central set as despite the real thing being shelved, I always found the rolling stock to be very smart. Being the old tooled coaches, the first task was to make changes to the coaches to reflect the refurbishment done by GNER c.2003. Filled windows and the DVT wifi dome. In the end, the coaches will be keen coupled as described previously in the thread.

Alright, so, Steam not my area of expertise but no doubt something obscure and two other items newly tooled (D49 would be nice though) the usual crop of terriers, A3s and A4s, pecketts and other things another entry into their dublo range D&E some railroad diesels in a range of liveries LNER 225 I do think the TfW FLIRTS will happen. See this still from the Greater Anglia video loco hauled mk3s from the Oxford range What I say every year and still hasn’t happened regional railways and NSE mk1s eurostar centre coaches (maybe even a retool) Electrostar

The perils of being left handed! Many thanks.

3d printed samples of the upcoming class 755/4 FLIRT at GETS today. Motor to be a low profile type in one driving car and most likely arriving Easter 2023 according to SK. (I can never seem to get photos to upload the right way up here so rotate your device/head!)

Not intercity , but I had to go through two GNER examples until it was blemish free due to the rubbing. Make sure you email Hornby if you haven’t already.

There was a video on the Dean Park Station group on Facebook- looked very smart indeed

Whilst numerous power cars were put into East Coast grey, only one rake of coaches received the livery. It probably made more commercial sense to to go with the NXEC rehash and bring it mainstream rather than as an exclusive- as it was. Perhaps in the future as well as the 91 and mk4s in the same livery?

Here’s hoping they release mk4s in original GNER blue!
