Perhaps the 4 that aren't in the catalogue are expected shortly so they left them out ?

Thanks

 

Can but hope, but I would have thought they would have carried them over to the new catalogue :unsure:

Mine has turned up today, and I'm not particularly happy with it.   The lining on the side of the cab is damaged with about 5 mm seemingly scraped off. (Not taken it out the box yet.) Ok, I can send this back for a replacement. but more disappointing for me personally is that all the lining is in a yellow/cream. when all of Hornby's images on their website show it to be white. I don't know what the PLA livery was, but mine isn't destined for the PLA.

 

Regards,

 

Neil

Popped into Lord and Butler today and the PLA locos had just arrived......and bought one I did. 

 

I have to say I'm very impressed. Nice runner and lovely livery. Looking forward to weathering it in due course.

Wish I'd not cancelled my preorder. 

 

Might have to reorder. 

 

Looks excellent. 

Thought about it for... Oh, a nanosecond. Now ordered with Derails. Going to move on an 009 loco to replace it with though. 

 

Can't wait.

That looks fantastic Callum. Seems sacrilege to suggest it but will you weather it?  

Na, s not really want to weather this one. Might paint the running plate black though

And very nice too. Do tell how it was done 

Quite simple really. Just HMRS Transfers on the side tanks.

Just perfect, I have been considering getting one and doing something similar myself.

How well do you think the colour compares to the sdjr blue? It might be my screen, but it looks a touch on the green side to me?

Many thanks guys. To my eyes in the flesh it's doesn't seem to far off, looking at pictures and having seen Kilmersdon
