It seems that this is the setup whether it's Hornby or TRS trains for locos with a double chimney. From looking at the excellent work of TRS trains on Facebook it looks like they also have to open out the chimney so that the divide is missing to allow the steam effect to work. Maybe someone can come up with a 3d printed double chimney that can somehow channel the steam through the chimney without the need to remove the divide.

On Friday last week Mcc said about 5-6 weeks till they are here. Hope that helps

From the announcement video by accurascale and Hornby magazine last year Steve talks about removing the body and even demonstrates it. As most of the detail from the hattons 66 that would ping of break or chip the paint has been moved to the chassis. From the video it looks nice and simple. Regards Gary

2007 is due to have working lamps with the steam generator. Google r3983ss and you'll see the Hornby listing. It's sold out with Hornby though.

Thats a interesting point about the lights then. Hopefully Hornby know about that.

Decorated samples Of the TPE 802 can be seen on the new Hornby signal box video on YouTube from the 8 minute mark. It looks nice. Not sure if any of the other 800 releases that have come through have had the lighting updated but apparently the TPE 802 Has day and night mode new seating and space for a bigger speaker.

Hi Craig I may have missed the announcement for it but I saw at the great electric train show that Hornby magazine are doing the cappagh and Royal blue vtg jna wagons and can be ordered through the website. Regards Gary

DCR Rail aswell as the puma livery would be great. 👍

A great announcement. I've been waiting for this livery to be announced by someone. Do you know if Dapol have fixed the lighting issues from the 1st batch as all the 59s had lighting thay was not correct for the classes and required modifications. Regards Gary

66769 was a accurascale exclusive so it won't be available from retailers. You can register your interest if one becomes available on the website though.

Hopefully it's somthing new and not a duplication like a 40,47 or hst as there's just no need for it right now. Im going to say its a class 313 or a start of the electrostar family with a southern 377. We know revolution have ruled out 00 gauge versions. And accurascale was a sponsor for the last 313 Rail tour so that's what my money is on.

On a video about the new p2 on Hornby magazine channel the designer of the p2 said that the steam and sound version has the dcc chip located in the body near the generator. So maybe it'll be the same for flying scotsman. Regards Gary

Could be for the yet to come 2007 with steam and sound.

Is there a p2 sound file already? Possibly the old tts version? Regards Gary

Cheers for that looks much better.
