Philou Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 @charliepetty Ooh ooh nice! Is there any chance that you may bring them out in Arriva Wales colours in a second run - especially as the S Wales area appears to be the last major stronghold of the Pacers?

True, though you could apply the same logic to the Class 156 and the 142 Realtrack are now doing plus doubt any Hornby version would be as high a specification.

wombatofludham Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 A 155 could be a canny move, for a small class in Provincial days they were seen quite widely across the west, West Midlands and north-west, and the small West Yorkshire sub fleet ran coast to coast and are still going strong having worn some attractive colour schemes. In any case, I doubt Hornby would be even slightly interested in doing a 155, they seem to have a decidedly bi-polar attitude to non-water boilers and in any case a 155 to the same standards as the Realtrack 156 would be superior in every way, not least because it would be able to have DCC fitted without having to do major surgery and would have decent sound. Hornby only pay lip service to DCC and managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with their otherwise brilliant Class 87 over the issue. So, if there is any chance longer term of a Realtrack 155, I'll be up for a Provo liveried one. Although quite how you will model the doors opening whilst running (an early fault with the class) will be interesting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
srihaggis Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I reckon the tooling could be adapted to allow a 153 and 155 (blanked cab window inserts etc) to be produced. I refuse to buy the Hornby 153 because it just does not look right, particularly around the cab end. Also, aren't the bogies on a 153/155 the same as those used on a 156?

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted July 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2020 I know this is a Class 156 thread and I’m well aware that people want a whole bunch of new releases in various liveries. I know Hornby have done it but I’d love to see Realtrack do 156480 done the RAF 100 livery. I think it would be outstanding and just fly (Forgive the pun) off the shelves. Apart from that, I can’t wait to see the Railtrack’s Class 142 in the flesh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
