That's about a mile away from where my fictional "Over Hulton" is set! Now I must have one, and quickly! By the way what type of hoppers are they?

The diesel engine for the thumper is interesting. It's on my (long term) to do list to make a pair of napiers for my deltic. -
Seeing the price reduction at the signal box I'm tempted to buy a couple, but when did the modification to the cab roof take place? Could the pre-tops roofed one be correct for 1975 ish with a renumber into the 85xxx series and a double arrow?

I meant I hope that Heljan don't do the same with the western as they did with the 86s, ie not listen to feedback and end up producing a poorer model than they could have done.
-
Oh God here we go again................. is this going to turn out to be another 86 style balls up? I really hope not.
-
I have to say that despite my reservations about Heljan's execution of the 76 (not to mention the price but let's not get into that again!!!) it really does look very convincing indeed, especially the overhead. Looking forward to seeing more photo's of it especially when weathered, fading down those primrose roofs. I'm very envious!! Is there no way you can get the pantograph to touch the wires?, I think it would definitely be worth the effort.

I'm spending far too much time talking about modelling on here when I should really be busy doing it instead!

I've discovered I just don't like travelling on modern trains anymore! I'm stuck in the 70's and can't get out!

Midland Main Line Electrification

My bet, which is based on nothing but a hunch, is that south Wales can look forward to class 313's/315's displaced by thameslink / crossrail. Then again some bright spark (pun intended) might try an put a pantograph on a pacer!
