I asked Heljan, they are en route, date TBC but would have thought sometime this month.

Fantastic 👏

I'm going to say B16, mainly due to the variants comment and they've never been done RTR before. B16/1, B16/2 and B16/3. Would be a pleasant surprise.

Is this not D2911? Or has it been renumbered?

A few shunters that need doing: Class 06 Class 01 NBL DH 0-4-0 D2900 series D2911 is preserved. Barclay DH 0-6-0 D2400 series Class 44 - Probably Heljans bag now. Then your 08s and Class 40s.

Nice to see a Fowler 7F 'Austin Seven', something a bit different and would certainly be part of their powering Britain project. Looks the part at the head of a 16T mineral train. Photo by Jim Davenport.

Nothing concrete, I'm just hopeful as Heljan said they'd look at the Class 44 if the 45 was successful.

Looking positive for some class 44 action as well 🤞

Latest samples now on RoS website they look great. Due end of 2022, Q1 2023

D13 split code dispatched today so they're in stock now.

How about an updated ICI Caustic bogie tank wagon, an early Nuclear flask wagon and 0-4-0 diesel hydraulic shunter (D2911 preserved at Chase water) as per the images.

I asked again this week, as due to the current climate want to budget as much as possible. They're hoping they arrive by the end of the year now, so have reduced my order to one.

There's still confusion on the Br Green 1083, as it's states late 1950s, the photos above are dated May 1960 and Nov 1959, I can now see what you're saying about the black livery, this means it was never in BR Green before 1960 making the description wrong, if not the livery. I might reorder and go for Heljan 1082.

It states in the text I've circled that it's in BR Green, the cab roof also looks grey. The Heljan description for 1083 is late crest 1959, this photo was taken in November 1959, so not sure when it would have worn the late crest. It obviously did as per John's photos above. As I said though, I'd just convert it back to its 1959 guise.
