Derekstuart Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 and a 142 with Realtrack. It was entirely predictable. When I bought the resin moulds for a 156 underframe, a Branchlines gearbox for the 142 and a white metal J70 kit from Branchlines also- it was fairly obviously going to go like this.

OOgaugeJaf Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Model rail were taking expressions of interest on the J70 at Warley today. Form dropped in the box for the BR version for me. Should be a great little model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I think the OP had a loco, as opposed to an MU in mind. As it is now clear that it’s a J70, could the title be changed appropriately please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 We're keen to have feedback about this proposal to do a J70/W&U tram coach with Rapido Trains, as there is a lot of expensive tooling involved if we do skirted and unskirted locos and a coach. There is a thread running on the Model Rail page and I'd be grateful if all comments are made there, so I don't have to keep an eye on lots of different threads.

charliepetty Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 And a class 156 with railtrack models Rapido are manufacturing and designing the model for ourselves at REALTRACK models, this superb model is purely a REALTRACK funded project which is available for www.realtrackmodels.co.uk, Rapido are a superb company to deal with as both companies are modellers who know what you the modeller in the UK expects in todays high spec world, more is yet to come.

John Urquhart Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I have paid a deposit on one of the SpotRail versions - looks to be a very high-spec model indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thread running on the Model Rail page and I'd be grateful if all comments are made there, so I don't have to keep an eye on lots of different threads. (CJL) I saw the coach in the display at Warley and thought how wonderful to be able to buy both together - but there was no mention of a coach anywhere I could see, no label either, so I assumed it was a hand-made bit of set-dressing. I ticked the questionnaire to show interest for all variants of the loco but obviously that form didn't mention the coach either. So, this is a long-winded way of saying if you produce the coach I'll definitely buy the loco, but not necessarily if you don't! Several coaches, in fact.

Mr_Tilt Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Should be dead easy to make a model of HSFV1 from this. Just leave off the body, the motor and transmission and you're there. Maybe Jason could even sell any spare chassis that way too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
