I’m sure they do from memory and given 66’s are being used up front, that would suggest this to be the case.

Renewal of the switch panel has been long overdue, its condition was by far one of the worst in Bournemouth.

November/December was suggested at the last meeting I was in. Will allow release of the remaining 707’s, free up some 450’s and by all accounts result in the 458’s being eradicated.

That would be good, but I suspect a 66 or Manor, only ones with no exclusives on their site.

I believe they are. The Scottish ones have had their 3rd gear removed, and the Southern ones have additional jumpers for the various test fleet, but otherwise the same. I don’t see Southern ones venturing north though, their reliability is woeful, they struggle to perform their monitoring train duties as is. Not as successful as was hoped me thinks.

View Advert Hornby Drax Biomass Wagons 4x Packs of the Hornby Drax Biomass Wagons, giving a rake of 8. Two pack of each number, R60176 & R60177. I’ve not had them long, and reluctantly paid the prices being asked. Having recently been able to acquire another rake of the Accurascale Hoppers, I’m going to move these ones on. They have not been used in my ownership. All are in pristine condition. Priced keenly, and at a loss to what the rake cost me, hopefully someone will enjoy these.

Can’t help but think this takes the pi$$ a little. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225471822433?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=oLKmckP7TqS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Ghyxkm76TAy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY You can get a non sound new for near £100 less if you bother to search.

As does the cab side window aperture.

It’s a shame 720 lost its colourful livery. Always liked it.

Really does show the difference in loading gauge.

As I previously stated, I’m impatient, so rather than wait for the eventual arrival from AS, I had to have this one done.

I’m sure I recall old joint bearers and reclaimed S&C bearers being used. Some of them even had chair indentations.

Got to be a 58 😁

I am also looking forward to the Acura’s 50. I think that is going to be a beast.

Have to agree with you. Everything I noted on there was well above the original price Hattons had, when you consider how quickly they reduced them, I think some of the prices being asked is interesting. Maybe this is the start of the “Super Rare Hattons editions” 😁
