Detailed pictures up on Hattons site,got 4 including a gsp. What should I be looking for as differences?

Was away from the hobby from about 1995-2005.When I started using the railways again,the old loco's had all but disappeared replaced by the Class 66s. The replacement of diesel vans with electric ones in my work got my thinking how did the railways deal with the 'newcomers'? Did they (for example) give a depot 40 class66s and haul away 60 of their vintage locos to either scrap them or displace the poorer locos in other depots? Or did they simply slowly build up the new fleet at depots, hauling away the clapped out loco's at each depot. Quite funny at my work as those expecting a brand new van instead end up with a half done in diesel van from a depot which has went 100% electric overnight!

Can I get a ScotRail version for when Boris builds the Ireland to Scotland link?

Think I'll treat myself to a blue D6100 with full yellow panels (not full yellow ends) Strange to think I looked out the card to buy something Hornby last night.

More class 17s coming soon (list on hattons site) including a fantasy 17 livery.

Missed the blue small yellow panels version,whats the chances of that livery being repeated?

Wont be an employee now wherever he is!

Would happily buy a manky weathered class 29 in blue

Cheers,going for green tops instead,thought that was a genuine late 70s livery

Hoping that Dapol announce some weathered versions in the next batch.The pictures which have them so manky that they look like they are bsyp look great on them

No money taken,they are out of stock,just wondering if they are still working on their pre orders when they get stock in.

Anyone else waiting on a pre order from Rails? Not in a great hurry for it but ordered a blue one when announced and just wondering if the order has been lost in the years gone by

Brilliant.April fools day is a favourite of mine but understandably was underplayed this year.At first i thought it was going to be a "relative " like the Irish BRCW. My lovely horse,still laughing at that Thanks for the laugh

Got my green front ends and small yellow panel is on its way,any other livery variations that might come out in the future?

Now it's official that Wemyss bay is Britain's best looking railway station,why do specials not go there?
