piranha230 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 He said the marker lights will be printed on like as on the class 144 as it would be too expensive to alter as it would new a different type circuit board etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 If you do the new northern dot livery will the window layout be altered for the prm compliant toilet?. Yes it will, but the priority next is the Class 142. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I was told today by a customer that he has read in a magazine that our Class 156s will be on sale at the NEC in 4 weeks time !!!! Now, as we have been discussing this week modifications to the packaging I think it highly unlikely that within 3 weeks they will be arriving here. But of course the man in the sky 'Could' look down on me and help solve this. No one at RealTrack has told the magazines this 'Warley News' so god knows where that came from. Charlie PPS You can order a N Gauge PCA Cement wagon though!!!!!!! Edited October 25, 2018 by charliepetty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie PPS You can order a N Gauge PCA Cement wagon though!!!!!!! I have also read the very same information in this month's edition of Rail Express. I can't understand why the magazine have published that the 156 will be available at Warley, when it appears that the guys who did all of the research and development, and later commissioned and marketed the model, (Realtrack) haven't even been informed of an exact delivery date of the models, and do not think they will be here in time for Warley. This mis -information only leads to disappointment for the expectant modeller and unnecessary stress for the retailer. (I might try ringing the Pope, to see if he can intervene) Lol Edited October 26, 2018 by Perfect Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapido told all the various model magazines that both livery versions would be available for purchase at this years Warley show. Rapido make the announcement, but then leave it to the retailer to sort out the confusion and disappointment. It seems that they have only produced the EMT "Nottingham to Skegness" version. What have they done with all of the other varieties ??? Maybe I should go down to the beach and see if they have fallen off the boat, and washed up on the shore !!!
