    For my part, I shall be going to the formula e races in London this coming July. Went last year and it was great fun, so I see no reason why I wouldn’t do it again

    Yes, all signed up on everything since I missed out of the Caledonian spares on Tuesday

    connected to this - can you give us any indication as to when any ‘spare’ coach sets will be available? I’d rather give my money straight to accurascale than to a scalper on ebay

    GWR Cathedral class? :)

    I hadn’t signed up for any alerts on the product pages themselves - so I didn’t get any notifications. singed up to the lot on the off chance that more are about, but suspect I’ve missed the boat on this one it’s actually kind of funny - the accurascale website is mocking me while I look at it with notifications of what other people managed to buy lol

    Kind of miffed I have missed out :( my gf volunteered to buy me replacement coaches for my birthday in Feb if I could find them online :(

    I’ll admit that mine have gone up on eBay in order to raise funds to pay for some unexpected expenses. And good lord, have the bids amazed me. Shot up and I’m now making £200 plus profit on the deal even when factoring in eBay fees

    unlikely, as neither of the locos ever carried that type of livery. By all accounts BR had them in black and apple green with a straight black line around the smokebox for a brief period. They were then rebuilt into B17/6 locos with no streamlining at all

    I’d have said that that photo showed 61659 in black rather than green. Seems to look an awful lot closer to the black 1047 on the right rather than the green tender in the background, and there doesn’t seem to be any join around the smoke box area between the green and black as down on the second of your two pictures.

    Hornby announce TT:120

    Edge replied to AY Mod's topic in Hornby

    EDIT - read the quote you responded to, rather than what you had written :) I too found it immensely annoying for the tender to be back to front - drove me nuts when I saw it Hornby’s repair service is actually own of their better features - they do tend to go above and beyond and have been known to repair locos that actually they were not obliged to

    Hornby announce TT:120

    Edge replied to AY Mod's topic in Hornby

    one of them probably is the J94 - as that was announced already I suspect that this is the one in tooling. Can’t recall any other announcements myself (although that doesn’t mean there weren’t any), but picking guesses from the clear blue sky you’d have to think that the Terrier and Jinty would be favourites for the second engine

    I’m sorely tempted, perhaps even to the point of trying sound for the first time. But we shall see what the pocketbook can stand at the time of release :)

    is there a link to the video/community available?

    I personally think that a third, apple green BR livery was initially intended, but has been dropped from this year - During the launch, Simon’s comments weee along the lines of ‘there will be an LNER loco and a third in BR condition’ which implies that there was another loco planned, which shoddy editing didn’t remove from the broadcast

    Directly from Mr Kohler himself - looks like I have the change my pre-order then
  16. Edge
    As suggested in the video, I’ve dropped an email to Mr Kohler to see if this can be definitively cleared up

    As others have taken much better detail pics than I, arty shots showing the lighting are required 😁

    Rather battered box delivered by DHL, but fortunately the contents have arrived without a mark
  19. Edge
    +1 on the Kato unitrack - it’s what I run my 009 stuff on and it’s perfect for the job
  20. Edge
    lookin at that, it doesn’t look too hard to model in 3d - getting it to fit the footplate and buffer beam would be the tricky bit
  21. Edge
    we aren’t sure it’s based on either of the previous models. Judging by the price, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s entirely new work top to bottom as it’s roughly comparable with other new toolings for locos this size
  22. Edge
    Rails doesn’t stock Hornby any more - Kernow have theirs on at just under £189, which is a decent discount on the RRP that I think will be roughly what everyone else can offer too
  23. Edge
    As a £320 Dublo model, a lot of which I know are being provided with sound for a comparable price, I’d say there is a decent chance that it is
  24. Edge
    there’s no detail as of yet that allows that to be decided for sure :) Suspect that the BR version is BR apple green with BRITISH RAILWAYS on the tender, but that’s not been definitively confirmed yet
  25. Edge
    the legend is (and I’m not sure if it is apocryphal) that the styling was done by smearing plasticine on a novelty paperweight in the shape of the King, and that was handed over to the works to produce it. if so, it kind of makes me want one more 😄
