33052

According to Ramsay's no,Lima didn't make 50029 .

Had a check this PM,stock levels seem to have had a boost - Mr Dickens heading my way.

92030 Ashford is of particular interest to me too,i have the Lima version but ive chosen 92036 -EWS Beastie livery rather than its earlier RFD guise for a possible re-number pending a ( hopefully ) dedicated model in a future run.

Mr Fat Controller of this parish would know for sure, but Class 92's still run Freight Traffic on classic 3rd Rail lines from Dollands Moor to Wembley via Ashford and Tonbridge AFAIK,also i have seen on a couple of occasions singular examples running light Engine through Ashford on HS1 ( at some speed i might add ).

Looks like a MK2 D/E/F to me 😃

Heljan are producing a new run of 33'2s, your 33207 is not included but at least it will be a donor to the latest spec should you want to relivery/renumber.

Indeed ,Heljan must like 33114 ( as i do ) ,this will be the 3rd iteration of it they will have produced.

To me 37402 makes a very interesting comparison to the new Bachmann 37430 Cwmbran,i can only compare pics from the net ATM but to me AC's 37402 just has a little bit more visual oomph if that makes sense,but the Bachmann 37430 is certainly a great looking model.

Without sounding too harsh,this model was announced nearly 4 years ago,it was available to pre-order for the majority of that time,if as you say you are a Deltic fan and wanted one for all of your modelling days why didn't you order one ?.

If you are still keen on Accurascales's 37's have you checked out their approved Retailers/Stockists,they might have a pre-order allocation free for what you want.

Personally speaking if i had any similar concerns with the Accurascale Team i would have communicated with them privately -and if you wish people to keep their opinions to themselves you've made yourself look like a bit of a Pilchard by posting them on this Forum - just my 2p worth.

The Slim Jim's have already been produced by Heljan, are the announced liveries examples ones that were never previously produced, also 33114 has had two production runs, I'd be interested in how the new one differs.

Delving into the RMWeb archives it was in 2009.

Thanks PaulRhB,,memo to oneself i should gave gone back more pages -yes the difference in colours is striking,a New NDM in the rake would stick out like a sore thumb,but food for thought nonetheless.

Ive been enjoying looking at the pictures here of the New APT ( thanks all ) and have some questions (1) How do they compare looks wise to Hornby's Originals,of which i have a Set .(2) Can the current Power Coach R3948 couple up to the Original Trailers and (3) i have thought of Transplanting the Motor Gubbings from said NDM into the Old version,the Coach is mint but the Ringfield Motor is kaput to put it another way,would it be worth the time and expense ? thanks in advance Paul.
