Its got the perscription windscreen fitted so driver does not need to use his glasses...........:)

@McC is more than a bit special............

So whos going to Birmingham,i take it thats the next roadtrip,Friday night room booked and the tickets to get in sorted. any show announcements.

It looks rough and by posts on FB is getting useful stuff removed and scrapped.

1/76.2 of 126 tons probably,no messing with these guys.

Good sales drive,encourage the other halfs to bin the lot,i thought it was an empty box dear........:)

Its not the Shinkansen though......:)

Theres a chap at Notre Dame likes it......

Theres a great DVD showing the build of the EWS fleet if you like the 66, good watch if you like the engineering of stuff..........https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192910515398?itmmeta=01HV3YHQS57PAT69PFG9G03K31&hash=item2cea5cdcc6:g:jqMAAOSw5dNWmRBF&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwC9qlZOmYmYGq1GaQqB7qC9cdDL7pGIc5PC2TiYNCQxZGF8NbR7D460z%2FhJh7aVBM6iFAyqKqipUJskf4iMEI7jbLubQg5v%2FczSjlEN5lvNiigZhGPdfJuvpYsQ73mWcA%2B9%2BydFBBbKwk8iFsk1dMvU6PwfuWXqgN1%2B35P%2B1F%2FtD8WAqkUFTdL%2Bb9LF8DofxEY8Rc%2BF--wTK%2BJEIEoB60xYBMaLBvzfdWVgkhBFG0V49fRF67LrP%2FW8sKET540WHyA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9b8xv7YYw

Just when it should be as we dont need heating in the summer so the money may aswell buy models............so do we find out at making tracks in a few weeks................nice modern layout to spot the liverys on......hint hint..:)

I would think the Chinese assembly team are the stars of the show using their skill to build the models,especially the one who gave the ultimate sacrafice and assembled the purple deltic.....:) the trick is keeping them together as the skill base gets better.

The 66 is the model for today and as it was looked at as the red death when they came in force it is the Marmite of locos for the late 90,s modeller. the only ones i did not buy are this and the green freightliner.Just good to see them start to arrive and no list of this that and the other moans that they are not 110% perfect in every way.

Diana Ross.......:)

Would also need to de EWS the sides, just remembered i had seen it last year going on its holidays to Scotland on the WCML.

So for anyone who likes the challenge removing the one and adding the two and the DB and HSE stickers could be modern day 66002 model made with 001, thanks for the reply Jo.

Well since they have the molding for 66001 the next batch it needs done DB red for todays railway modellers. has to be the way to go now they have it to use. As far as im aware the next ones they are doing are picked so might be a big reveal soon...........

The fact its based on the Hattons model has put this on a great footing and only improve,the Hattons one was nothing that could not be fixed and improved and not many for sale says a lot as to its quality. I knew my bet would be safe with Jim at the drivers seat,is the Accurascale driver scaned from the man himself for 100% accuracy??

Looks like a point issue rather than driver issue,only his pride will hurt and he will no doubt get plenty leg pulling about it by his workmates.

Its the GT with Janspeed exhaust...........could be the roof angle out.

If anyone could drive a 66 i would have bet on you being the man Jim..........
