RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 4, 2016 By all means correct me if I'm wrong but has 66434's delivery changed thus making me think all the 66's are due in the same container? Noticed also that the price of this model has gone up before the release, is this normal and likely to go back down? Becoming more normal and probably no.

RMweb Gold Ely_South Posted May 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2016 We might find out more this week. 416 and 434 are in stock in Liverpool as of this morning - which hopefully means I'm about to be charged a wedge from the other side of the Pennines in a day or two.... Keenly awaiting the LT Museum two now, and 720, although it would be nice if the former slipped into June or July for my wallet's sake....

Lochnagar Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Pretty sure they're on the boat and well on the way now. Looking forward to them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robf Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I was told at DEMU Showcase on Saturday that they were expected at the end of the month or beginning of July. Not too long to wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielson's shay no 3 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Does anyone have any news on this gbrf 66 and if it's on the boat or in the country rail express update would be good just to let us all know the progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Bendall Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The models are currently on the way from China. Subject to shipping conditions, unloading, customs, etc, they should arrive at Barwell sometime next week. Once checked, they should then be with Mortons in the first week of August to allow despatch to commence. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Got mine today as well. Picked it up at Landor St this afternoon and already expertly weathered. Unfortunately I had to give it back tonight though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 5, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think you've overdone the static grass there Marcus, and the weathering is totally unrealistic too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted August 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2016 If you happen to be in or near Eastleigh today you will find 66720 parked up by the station. Cannot provide any photographs of the other side but some to provide some inspiration for weathering - if you dare! Do please pm me if you want any high res files. all the best Godfrey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47375 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 My loco arrived yesterday morning... I note there is no Limited Edition cert in the box, is this correct or should I have got one? On previous Rail Express Ltd Eds I've had certificates but not purchased one since 50149... Thanks Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On previous Rail Express Ltd Eds I've had certificates but not purchased one since 50149... No certificates on these, just adds to the cost and there was no way to give previous purchasers the same certificate number as that info is not held by Mortons.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 8, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 8, 2016 For those that want to weather 66720. There's this from the Class 66 pictures thread. Or this from RHTT duty. Cheers, Mikc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Exquisite model, the livery application is outstanding. Far superior to Hornby's similar technology used on printing Harry Patch FGW HST. You can barely notice the ink jet notorious stripe printing effect. Only error is the light blue shade is too dark. Really pleased and hope to see more inquisitive liveries from Rail Express soon. Those Bachmann 150s are crying out for a Wessex or FGW local lines livery! Would you know the time difference between tampo printing one model vs this new ink jet technique? Perhaps closer than though as would the ink jet handle all livery colour difference in one sweep, but then take a long time to cover a whole model, where as a tampo though quick with one colour, then needs to repeat dosens of times before the model is complete (plus allow drying in-between runs).
