  1. Detailed pictures up on Hattons site,got 4 including a gsp. What should I be looking for as differences?
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. More class 17s coming soon (list on hattons site) including a fantasy 17 livery.
  5. Missed the blue small yellow panels version,whats the chances of that livery being repeated?
  6. Would happily buy a manky weathered class 29 in blue
  7. Cheers,going for green tops instead,thought that was a genuine late 70s livery
  8. 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
  9. No money taken,they are out of stock,just wondering if they are still working on their pre orders when they get stock in.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Got my green front ends and small yellow panel is on its way,any other livery variations that might come out in the future?
  13. Now it's official that Wemyss bay is Britain's best looking railway station,why do specials not go there?
  14. Not sure about that,i ordwred mine very early but paid for it very late! About the last week you could get the discount. Anyway,mines is on its way,or they might just have been slaving away all weekend.
  15. Thats Hattons selling them for less than 80 quid now,6 variations at time of posting this. Feel a bit guilty for suggesting the bsyp variation to them years ago if they are having to flog them off at a discount now!
  16. Few bargains at Rails on class 22's.Down to 80quid including bsyp and gfyp.be quick!
  17. My bysp d602 was ordered after that date and its here,got a green one on the third boat still to come.
  18. Thought his visit to Millport would be to show how the railways reached impossible destinations by owned steamer.
  19. Anyone like to hazard a guess when deltic Meld will see light of day? Was on the York to Edinburgh train which turned oit to be its final duty,will get the sound one if its 2020/21
  20. New Hattons email has new batch of class 27s in various liveries,seem to be mostly renumbers of previous sold liveries(with addition of scotty dogs etc) i always trip up over exact wording of each livery so i will leave it for fellow posters to list the forthcoming releases
  21. Greenock Princes pier to junction with Wemyss Bay line? One roadbridge removed but track still in place and tunnels all in one piece.
  22. all that was during my 20 year break from the hobby for wine,woman and song........
