RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted November 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2016 Excellent news Charlie, looking forward to ordering at least one in Cornish Skipper livery and some of the 156s when you produce them in something appropriate for the soft south. all the best Godfrey Provider of fine marmalade to outstanding manufacturers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37038 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Will the model have opening doors? I ask in all seriousness, as I have been planning on making working doors for a 3mm 142. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig85 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Sorry if this has been asked here before, where can I order one these from as I cannot see them on Realtrack website. Cheers Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm81 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yes the first livery!Will it also have the original 3+2 seating? You could probably use the same moulding for the early style 143 interior too... Any chance of a Tyne & Wear liveried 142? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha230 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Are you do both roof versions the one that has 3 roof ribs and the one that has lots of them, and are you going to do a gmpte orange and brown livery ? For the class 142 that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Henriksen Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Sorry if this has been asked here before, where can I order one these from as I cannot see them on Realtrack website. As the 142's aren't arriving until 2018 I would guess that prices/ordering info etc won't be released until sometime later next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is the time to get requests in that will have an effect on the tooling, so those of us wanting the early doors/no radio roof pod etc need to speak up sooner rather than after the tooling is designed and cut. The only way they are going to know which are the most popular versions is if people speak up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Craig Unlike others who make limited edition models, we do not require 'early' ordering to secure models, when we have a running sample we will add this too the Website, so don't worry!

Matabiau Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Hi Charlie, I don't know whether this has been answered in the DMU thread but is the Cholcolate and Cream 'Skipper' going to be 4 or 2 leaf door version? Thanks David I believe the skipper livery (and MPTE orange, and provincial blue) had disappeared by the time the 142s were fitted with single leaf doors. EDIT: I stand corrected, I have just found a photo from1995 of a skipper in chocolate and cream with bright yellow single leaf doors. I don't believe they stayed like that for very long.

cal.n Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Will the model have opening doors? I ask in all seriousness, as I have been planning on making working doors for a 3mm 142. I was lucky enough to be on a Northern 142 the other day and I got a seat by the doors and this did come into my head. I thought that a linear servo in the roof (mounted perpendicular to the door) could control a bar that is attached to the top of every door on one side. When this is moved, the doors would be pulled inwards by it and small pins in the front of the doors would keep it in place so the doors open and close prototypically. Zimo decoders can control two servos. (enough to be able to open the doors on each side individually.) (Assuming single leaf doors) Maybe a bit much for an RTR model, but maybe possible... I would be interested to know how you do it if you manage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the skipper units were transferred up to Heaton they were still in chocolate and cream and had received the yellow single leaf doors. Found a picture or two on flickr of provincial with yellow single leaf doors too, around 1995 - 1996. Edited December 1, 2016 by Norm81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi Charlie/Arran, Good to see the 142 announced. A Northern one will be a must to go with the rest of the Northern Units I have and an original blue will of course be good on my next layout as would an orange one in the future. I remember being in a brown and cream unit from Lancaster in the late 90's all stations to Barrow after a work trip and it was rammed as the schools had come out and felt like it was right down on its springs as it didn't bounce until after Grange when it emptied out a bit.

Norm81 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Will the model be fitted with sprung wheelsets to enable it to prototypically bounce down the track? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
