  1. More bad news for Realtrack. I really feel for them. EFE’s second run is as new Provincial 143 and WYPTE 144. The 144 especially something lots of us have been waiting for. 66738
  2. Class 37? Hornby, Lima , Bachmann 1st incarnation , Vi Trains, Bachmann 2nd incarnation, Bachmann current new tooling. And of course the forthcoming Accurascale model. 66738
  3. I’m probably happy with my Hornby one but huge credit to You. It looks stunning. I’m sure it will do very well. 66738
  4. Excellent! Regarding the CK, I’ve only ever seen ScotRail branding. I’ve never seen InterCity alongside. Was this a one off or were they all like that at one point? 66738
  5. Very happy with Salmon wagons now. A comparison picture of the 20mm difference between both the ‘shortie’ and the Correct length. 66738
  6. Tulyar safety arrived. It’s been long in the making but boy was it worth the wait. What a model! Absolutely a work of art. 66738
  7. Yeah, a couple for me also. Had the shortie ones, and apart from the obvious, they were superb. 67738
  8. Totally on the same page as you. 432 just a bit late with headlight and 409 just too early. Nether the less 432 is going to be ordered and 110. There are so many variants to be done in the future. Blue 31/4 without headlight. Blue 31/4 with headlight off set. Both the above with/without orange cant stripe. Blue 31/4 centre headlight without cant line. Blue 31/4 skinhead with/without headlight with/without cant line. And that’s just the Blue 31/4’s. It’s gonna cost is this. Big time. 66738
  9. Very happy with this announcement. Lost patience with Hornby long ago regarding a 31/4 in blue. I look forward to hearing the startup sequence and may I suggest flames for those particularly cold start ups? 66738
  10. Surprised and confused that no further White roof MK 1’s have been announced. What are we supposed to do with the BCK? 66738
  11. Ha ha. That’s what I tell the Missus. “They are not toys, but carefully selected collectors items, that not only retain their value but increase, some significantly. If things ever went belly up and we needed money, I could raise thousands pretty quickly”. £210 for a wagon? Crazy crazy price. 66738
  12. Another vote for original as new livery. As now carried by 144011 at KWVR. It looks amazing! 66738
  13. It’s nice that we get to see it every day, and it sits as a reminder of the good old days. ‘Our pet’ was one of 23 units that were our bread and butter up and down the Penistone line, and of course others routes. Warm in winter with drivers and second mans heaters and good all round vision (compared to 142’s). I’d have driven them until the end of my days. An absolutely superb unit. And I’m by no means the only driver to feel this way. 001 (well half of it) lives on to become an important tool of Platform 1, to assist people with a variety of issues. It would have been nice for the first of the class to still be a runner on a preserved line, but there are enough examples saved for us to ride on. It’s new purpose is much better than the alternative. Being recycled into fizzy drink cans. 66738
