Firstly Merry Christmas all. Also have just preordered 156444 as well Chris

This as well as Whispering Hollow for me, were the best two Layouts on display. So rare to see a German WW2 themed layout as well.

Thank you for the comment. Either way still getting one, as the EMT Sample saw at Warley/ Was offered to pick up. Looked Gorgeous.

Shall be Ordering one of the Spotty Scotrail ones after next payday, as other things to come first sadly. Have noticed, no sound options on the order page or to be a added extra thing? Chris

I do look forward to seeing people's photos of the APT E. Although not ordered one myself (although I wish I did), whole APT project is interesting, as others said the rail version of TSR2 ( what's interesting its self) It looks like a great entry to the UK for Rapido, I will be ordering the Sterling though and very likely the HST P. Also still tempted for there F40 and EL9 etc. Chris

Here we go Click for bigger.

Firstly sorry in advance as they aren't the center of the pic. But two examples from the Diesel and Electric show at Telford Yesterday (21st) Click for bigger. Chris

I should have some, will sort them out after i've been to work. Chris

Just got home from the Diesel and Electric show. I have to say the model is extremely impressive and smart looking, The samples for Scotrail and DRS are due in March and believe mentioned here the model is due Summerish time. A example will be on show on a layout on loan from Dapol at Model Rail Scotland, in decals mocked up (Think was for Scotrail) to be ran etc. Chris

I will be able to see tomorrow.

Hopefully will be some more examples over the weekend at the Diesel & Electric show at Telford, I shall be getting photo's although not until Sunday, as working tomorrow. Still for these, shopping list is for all three liveries at least, with/ when able sound a DRS or Scotrail one. Chris

Sadly didn't get to say hello, as you all were busy talking to others. All can say the APT E looks gorgeous and makes me annoyed I didn't get the FL9 when I was in NYC. Chris

Wish all the best for the project to get it off the ground. Although as others have said, would love it in 00 Gauge. If that ever comes, some Scotrail units required.

The model looks great and wish Bachmann and London Transport Museum all the best off luck with it. Not really my interest area, but if i had the money would get it instantly. The price, isn't it more inline with Mainland Europe for model prices though? Not just MU's but Locomotives to?

Looks like a great project, although not into N gauge, may go for the £30 pledge as well on Kickstarter. As would be great to see a full length 390's for people to run. Also to say, the full page in the new Model Rail is nice as well (Got Subscribers one today)

I hope MR are able to get a good price from Bachmann for it, as thats the biggest hurdle at the moment (Well said by MR staff on Sunday) Also mentioned that drawed most people over to the stand as well. Although prefer LM i would be tempted to get one, if the price is right. Chris

Joke price really. Currently a whole rake of Midland Mainline Mark 3s are going for £41 Or other FGW Mark 3s at less then £20 but those are not the TSO's though. Chris

Great to hear this. Has been a most wanted model of mine for a while. Especially after helping on Restoration of the Duro Yankee tank (30075 When it was at the East Somerset Railway) Chris

More money then sense. 38-347,38-345, 38-346 Retail at £21 each on Hattons whilst 38-345A and 38-346A are at £25.59 Seems to happen a lot on ebay, on a lot of stuff not just Models, people bid far more then they are actually worth/ what you can get new. Chris

Would this one count as Madness? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-32-979-CLASS-66-DIESEL-66301-FASTLINE-DCC-READY-/320884640579?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4ab6370b43 Chris

Massive Yikes Some people have no idea what stuff is worth sadly. I would have thought buying a Bachmann Sound 66 and getting it repainted would be the easiest method? and a whole lot cheaper. Chris

You always get scummy Shill bidders, On the IC225 i currently got up, someone retracted the bid after a few days at the level it was at, But gladly now exceeding that though. The prices that other person has put up the Fastline locomotives must be a bit high of something, as can't imagine anyone would pay that for them, I would suspect you could get them professionally repainted for a whole lot cheaper. On a different note, Will be sending someone a another payment request, and if nothing comes from it shall be reported as a non payer. (They won a Blue Pullman on Wenesday and not paided yet, Whilst the others who won stuff that day paided straight away and were sent the same day) Chris

Got another one up for stupid amounts as well.

Rather funny i think. Some other things i have seen was a Bachmann Mk2 TSO (Blue and Grey) go for £30 + All the Tri-ang stuff & Hornby stuff (soon to go up) i am putting on ebay all have a large amount of photo's included, Including some extra if any damage and so on. Chris
