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.

The only preserved BR NBLs are D2767 and D2774 which would be a test for anyone to do due to their small size.
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.

Oh had missed that what’s coming?
Nothing concrete, I'm just hopeful as Heljan said they'd look at the Class 44 if the 45 was successful.

They are going for it with these so plainly successful. Perhaps a few of the minor glitches eg works plate position can be sorted for the next batch…
Looking positive for some class 44 action as well 🤞

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.

Hattons need to update their descriptions.
Go to Rails of Sheffield, the descriptions match the latest photos and Heljan product numbers. Then you can determine, if what you ordered, is what you wanted...
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.

I'm seeing a poor color reproduction of a very weathered black locomotive. Granted the bogies do look black, but if she had been repainted green with the early crest, I would expect her to look fresher.
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.

Surely this shows the Heljan model should in fact be BR Green with early crest(wouldn't have received the late crest until modified to Hawk). Easy enough to convert admittedly but would be strange to do a fictional livery.

I was thinking this myself recently, it's a model that is ripe for being given the Accurascale treatment :)
Or Hornby 😜

Indeed.Yep, I've cancelled 3 times now, Hattons had 1083 in Br Green early crest, in two days it's since changed to late crest, now one of the Br black models states final BR livery. No idea what's going on. 🤷

What sort of info do you mean? There’s plenty about them on Revolution’s website.Probably should have worded it updates about release schedule.
Last update on the website was July 21 that was the 1st Ep, just wondered how they were progressing.
-
Any Info been released on the Borails?
-
One of these will do nicely, powering Britain and flask wagons seem to be popular at the moment. Steam and Nuclear all in one wagon.

Good afternoon all,
I'm struggling to find anyone who does finely etched or cut diamond style lattice girder bridge sides in oo gauge. eBay has a style cut in MDF which I may resort to but doesn't look refined enough.
Any one know of anywhere who supplies them ready to be cut down (similar to vari girder)?
Would it be worth speaking to yorkmodelmaking for a bespoke item?
Many thanks
