Can't wait for the GWR one, fingers crossed for a FGW 'local lines' one to appear somewhere in the next few batches, maybe even some 158/9s in the GWR/FGW liveries
I'm guessing HAA coal hopper, although preferably CDA China clay hoppers for me, although they would only require slight tooling mods to the existing HAA toolings (that is of course if they are HAA hoppers!)
Excuse my ignorance but I've never understood the Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 timings.
Are they basically the year split into quarters?
E.g. Q1 would be Jan/Feb/Mar
Q2 would be April/ May/ June
Etc.
Its been almost 2 years since the last comment on this thread and am suprised that we still havent seen a model of 002 & 185, these manufacturers are missing an opportunity here.
I'd defo get one
For the first few months of IET introduction in the South West we had regular 5 car 800s but since more 802s have been introduced we dont get 800s any more (apart from the occasional 800/3 due to the lack of 802/1s)
One thing that annoys me a bit is the fact that i've been waiting for the GWR class 150 since 2017... But yet what is probably the millionth BR blue 37 to be done by Bachmann gets announced in 2019 and is expected to be released 6 months down the line
Would love a rake of these but i've got my fingers crossed for some VTG blue ones so I can model the Burngullow sand, with my layout being set in Cornwall none of the other liveries run down here.
Although some KEA wagons would be just as good
What do we think the likelihood is of Hornby doing a Class 802 in GWR livery?
Just curious as I model Cornwall and currently have 800003 on pre-order. I would be tempted to cancel my pre-order of 800003 if Hornby were to announce a GWR class 802 as it is more prototypical to my region.
Cant wait for these models to come out. Modelling modern image Cornwall hoping to get the DB Schenker one so I can model the Burngullow Sand trains that occasionally ran with 59s around 2011-2013.
Hoping Dapol do an Aggregate Industries one in their second batch as they were also used on the Burngullow Sand too (plus its my favourite livery on the 59)
One thing I have noticed is that Hornby are doing enough MK3s for 2 rakes per livery... Will each coach have seperate numbers so we can accuratley model 2 different sets or will 2 of the coaches in the range have the same number but with different release dates (which I have noticed on the website)?
With the 2019 announcements tomorrow are we hoping for any more 158 liveries to be added to the list?
Would love to see any of these liveries announced:
First Great Western 'local lines'
South West Trains
South Western Railway
Or maybe even some different variations in 158 tooling, for example the GWR/FGW 158/9s
