When I say photos I mean the key world article and photos at this link that was discussed earlier. https://www.keymodelworld.com/article/Hornby-salmon-wagon-first-shots?utm_campaign=kmw social&utm_content=255537182&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&hss_channel=fbp-129246407114953 The sprue for the toolings shows an ASF bogie, Hornby can’t deny that one! As the guy didn’t at Warley, I feel like he was more loose lipped than some others on the stand, but he also didn’t have all the answers and when I asked further another person in effect told him to shut up and stop talking as in he was giving away future releases!

Well I also asked and was told they are doing them, the bogies are on the photos and that it would likely be a release for future but wouldn’t tell me if it was next year or not.

Got an email today, that delivery to Footplate is due in the next few days, if you did pre-order, then it seems you need to go back onto the website and place the order again. At the moment the pre order price seems to be £39.95 per wagon. Not sure what stock levels are going to be like but I’m getting my order in now!

I have to say, I do like the special liveries so 60074 in it’s different guises, 60007 in its switch on to safety, 60065 in its EWS/DB guise, 60066 in Drax livery, 60071 in EWS is a good one and 60099 in corus silver too would be ones.

It will be interesting to see what further versions of the class 37 Accurascale plan on doing next. Seen as the /6’s have now arrived and the other batch not far away!

It did for a short period of time after leaving Eastleigh. My photo on its first run in its new livery. https://flic.kr/p/QsW11h already been pointed out and that the extra ETS connection had been added.

Well found! After checking the website it appears all the modern ones have the holding bars on and non are flat tops? Is this supposed to be, I thought the modern ones were flat tops? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Same here, no word from Accurascale regarding the delivery of mine, however I would assume that they are working as hard as possible to get them out as soon as possible. Keep the faith an extra week is nothing compared to how long we’ve all waited for a good RTR 37/6 model!

So I’ve just been charged for 37610, so I’m assuming it’s either about to be dispatched or it’s now with Rails!

Hi Ben, So if I was after wagons that ran from 2010-2018 I’m assuming I would be looking at the ones with H & HT lettering but not the originals or were they around still in 2018? I’m assuming Ermewa branding came after 2018. Need to get an order for these placed!! Cheers Chris

I have my pre-order with them and haven’t even been charged the second payment yet, I would have thought an email would have been sent or guidance? In terms of 608, my order of 602, 608 & 609 hasn’t been dispatched, I’m assuming that 608 is holding them back.

I’ve ordered a 66779 and 66769 both sound fitted directly, and I’m looking forward to both arriving into stock! I’ve also got another 6 sound fitted examples ordered with my favourite model shop! 🤣

My final 4 from the first batch should be with me soon then!! Hope I can try sneak a 97301 when they are done sending out the pre orders!

Thats true but I can’t remember the last time a manor went through Milton Keynes either? I think with TPE 802’s due soon and AS 68’s & Mk5a’s out now then the 185 would be an excellent gap filler! As a northerner I would prefer a 185 but either model is a very good addition to the OO gauge range!

Does this mean we could get 401 and 424 in this condition then 🤔 That’s my ideal pairing

Don’t forget that 66769 Prostate Cancer hasn’t been announced just yet, so thats one announcement to come!

It wouldn’t surprise me to see a new tooled 66, to go head to head with AS, but I’d also have thought maybe something of the Unit variety would come through maybe some 158’s. Must be time for some sort of kettle upgrade or new type. And I’d like to see the Mk.2F tooling used to do some other liveries, like anglia as mentioned maybe WCRC, or Statesman or even some north Britton coaches?

Must be some more announcements soon with the FNA-D’s now arrived and the 37’s coming through. I wonder what’s next!

Hi Charlie, does the contact you section on the website work or is there a better place to contact you?

I should probably give this an update, so currently own; 2x Deltics (55002 & 55009) 6x 92's (92017, 92032, 92036, 92038, 92042, 92043) 37423 2x TPE Mk.5a sets 14x HYA wagons 16x IIA biomass wagons 6x JSA'S 2x KUA's 18x PFA's 6x MHA’s On order; 6x 37's (37602, 37608, 37609, 37610, 37116, 37422) 3x 31’s (31128, 31105, 31285) 50017 6x66’s (66167, 66171, 66171, 66507, 66507, 66763) 1 Pack of FNA-D’s 6x MHA's 2x WCRC Mk.2b coaches 2x WCRC Mk.2c coaches

We all know it was in running condition at Crewe but it didn’t leave there under its own power, nor did it leave instantly after being under its own power. Maybe the cabinets never made the trip across to Toton? Maybe when it’s back at Crewe IEMD they might get put back in? I’d have thought taking uncle Makita would cause more harm than good!

So just in case you wanted to know, it sounds like you did, here is the low down. Both 108 and 112 are modelled after 2018. 108 joined GC in late 2017 in Dynamic lines Livery and was repainted by mid-late 2018 into GC modern livery, new cycle space logos, By Arriva added, etc. 112 only got the green band after 2018, however it has spent most of its time on 4 out of 5 engines with the LPG engine isolated, it also has had underbody modifications on that car. Hope that clears it up for you! @TomScrut

It’s the latest miracle Jesus performs…

Yeah 180112 had it’s green stripe added after 2018, and 108 is also in post 2018 refurb livery as it was a GWR unit until around 2017/2018. Okay, and yes it’s way too early to be talking about a second batch. I get what you are saying about specific liveries but your choice of for GC units means you have offered only post 2018 units leaving the 2009-2018 period empty of a GC representation. I’m still going to make a purchase it just means doing some reworking and the M word… I don’t want to seem awkward, and I think this project needs full support so that we can get more longer (4+ car) units into production but it’s just nice to know what I will be spending my money on?

Glad my new 156’s have arrived and now gives me time to save back up for 142’s and 144’s!
