Here is the circuit board inside. Speaker is underneath.

I will look to check when filming. Only one of the samples is a working loco; the rest are empty.

I have the G5 samples on loan for a video I’ll be filming:

I’ll be honest and say I found no need for a stay alive on the model as it ran without issue on my layout. Radically changing the tooling to change other things would effectively mean tooling the model again from scratch. That wasn’t an option, so I’m happy they chose to release this model instead of no model.

I was lucky enough to be sent a pre production sample from the new batch. It features slight modifications to have a 21 pin decoder which is a lot better for DCC fitting. It also runs flawlessly and I had it pass 3.5hrs of continuous running with no issues at all. Please note that whilst this is the factory weathered version, the pre production sample had not gone through the weathering process.

Apparently Terry Pratchett once tried to edit something on the page about himself because it was wrong, only to have it reverted because he ‘didn’t cite a source’

I’ve used gloss black paint thinned with dirty white spirit (brush cleaning dregs) after application with reasonable effect:

I spotted the following that looks very much to be a bogie well wagon on the abandoned track bed next to the A484 some distance north of the Gwili railway’s current northern terminus. According to street view it was there from at least 2008, and looks like it has been there much longer. Does anyone know the story on how this came to be here?

The thought occurs that perhaps Hornby were well advanced with their Lion when they discovered they couldn’t get the rights. Perhaps their plan had been to announce the model pretty much at the point it was being released. The blacked out box art might suggest they are hiding the advancement of their model until it is ready for release.

I’m very impressed with these. Compared to the competition they win hands down on all accounts. my video review:

I was lucky enough to buy new the weathered model and it looks lovely. I run it mixed in with my pre grouping stock, and don’t get too bothered about it being on an LNER van.

The recent release of the weathered 16t minerals were also simplified from the original shown images.

I was honoured to have been invited to film at Trevor Jones’ garden railway. It is OO, but truly amazing in its choice of landscaping and plant life that really make it all look like a real scene in miniature:

Extremely impressed with these. Absolutely perfect; nothing to fault. Stunning models that are the first 100% scoring items I have reviewed, ever:

Yes. Being removed.

Nope. William Loud and Sons is explained in the description on the Rails listing. with regard to the ‘not to go’ card this is being removed from the livery.

Oh my word!! You can nearly buy three for that price of the main range ones. Makes me think I should have kept more than two for myself, but so many people desperately wanted one that I released to sale eight of the ten I was going to keep for myself. They sold out extremely quickly. Despite the usual haters trying to talk down the project, they proved exceptionally popular and sold out faster than quite a few of the main range versions. The new commission of the Palbrick is also doing just as well if not better. It will not hang around.

These are lovely wagons. I was very impressed with the level of detail, and the fact that even at full RRP they are cheaper than the discounted price of the old Hornby ones. my video:

My video reviewing the nine I have:

Overall I’m pretty happy with mine. The first arrived damaged, but I can’t fault Peco being quick to admit the issues and working to sort them. There are a couple of gripes, but nothing insurmountable. DCC fitting was a huge pain, but I hope this and the packaging are addressed when the next run is made. Video of mine:

It can be seen running faultlessly for just over two hours on the Monday Club, in the company of the two Palbrick EPs:

I have this EP for videoing. Is this the model referenced by this thread?

The EPs went for a run on Wear Yard, fir an upcoming exclusive KRModels EP overview video.

These are ones I made using the WWS kits. Essentially they are small pieces of sea foam glued to a truncated plastic armature. I then spray paint in textured dark brown paint then add fine foam scatter sprinkled on after applying static grass layering spray.
