  1. It's also in the Hattons ad in the current issue of Railway Modeller. Fingers crossed.
  2. They are now offering a further opportunity for an N Gauge Model. Expressions of interest here... https://krmodels.co.uk/collections/n-gauge/products/gt3-n-gauge
  3. Now due September, was previously July, according to the Bachmann website. I'll be happy to wait until September given the current problems.
  4. Don't know if this has already been mentioned but the Wikipedia entry for GT3 contains the following phrase... "and was painted in a lined Beech Leaf Brown Livery, earning it the nickname "The Chocolate Zephyr" amongst railway enthusiasts. Underframes, grilles and the front access and cab doors were painted Brunswick Green with lettering and lining in Orange." I did actually see it running on several ocassions but as a young trainspotter I didn't pay a lot of attention to the livery. Still hoping for an N Gauge version one day.
  5. I really hope that the Garratt goes ahead. I also think that it will sell well but I doubt that many people will pre-order (I have). Let's hope that Hattons are bold enough to continue with the project.
  6. I just signed up but there was no option to indicate the fact that I would be interested in quantity 2.
  7. Top of the list has to be a Class 28. D5705 is currently being restored at the ELR, not far from Hattons. Heljan have already done the OO version. I'm sure that Farish will offer updated Peaks & eventually the Crab. Others include...Unrebuilt Patriot, LNER 2-8-0, BR Standard 75xxx, G2 (although the Union Mills version is pretty good), LMS 4-4-0/Compound.
  8. Availability is now showing in the ETA Column... https://www.Bachmann.co.uk/category/model-railway/graham-farish The 8Fs are listed as July-20 but I expect that everything will slip due to the Coronavirus.
  9. Nothing for me in this lot. I guess that the 8F will be in the next quarter.
  10. Well it's still available for pre-order on the Hattons website. I'll be really disappointed if it doesn't go ahead. An update from Hattons would be appreciated.
  11. Chicken & egg issue here I think. I don't think that the N Gauge market is as poor as suggested. I'm sure that there are many modellers like myself who are frustrated at the lack of products available to purchase. All my recent loco purchases have been second hand. Farish do not currently offer any Peaks (Class 44,45,46), Black 5, Jubilee or Scot. I would purchase at least 1 of all 6. Will order an 8F when available. I'll be dissapointed if the Hattons Garratt gets canned. I made an EOI for the KRM GT3. I hope that Dapol re-issue the 9F, ideally with a new mechanism. I recently renewed by Bachmann Collectors Club Membership but if there are no new Farish loco announcements in the next 12 months then I won't do so again.
  12. According to the latest Bachmann Collectors Club Newsletter the Roadshows are in early February & Collectors Club Members can attend if they wish.
  13. Put in my EOI for the N Gauge version. Disappointed that the N Gauge GT3 is no longer going ahead so I don't imagine there will be enough support for the N Gauge Fell. Shame as both are spot on for my modelling location/era.
  14. We visited for a couple of hours (all we had available unfortunately) last week but it really needs a whole day. Can only emphasise how impressive the whole thing is. My other half is not interested in model railways but she was blown away by the scenics, especially the airport & Grand Canyon. Can't wait to make a lengthier return visit. Given the number of UK visitors (they provide a breakdown of visitor's country of origin) I'm surprised that no UK scene is planned.
  15. Don't know if this is a Windows 10 issue but the problem has only occured recently. I have a Laptop (Windows 10) & Desktop(XP) both connected to my BT Router. Until recently they have always been visible to each other & I have regularly moved files between them using File Explorer in Windows 10. For at least the last couple of weeks the PCs are no longer visible to each other. Anyone else experienced this problem?
  16. Let's hope that it does go ahead. I can't help feeling that a Class 28 might be have a more popular choice.
  17. Keith - any news regarding the N Gauge GT3? Fingers crossed that it does go ahead.
