I suspect this previous post helps explain that the 142 goes next now that the 156's finally arrived 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts work on the 142 hasn't started yet as I believe that Charlie is snowed-under dealing with the Class 156.

Hopefully the delay won't be too long, but having 3 of the excellent FGW 143s in the fleet I'm highly sure that the delay will be worth it! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Hi Charlie, Thank you for posting. This is brilliant news. Just a quick query. The three Northern Rail 142s that you intend to produce (60, 62 & 91), will they all be produced as per your image that I have quoted in this post, with Northern Rail logos and branding? Thank you very much in advance. Kind Regards, Danny. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Garry D100 Posted March 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2020 Looking forward to the provincial versions. However would just like to request the GMPTE brown/orange if possible. There, thats me having my say lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the 142s run in GMPTE orange with the newer doors? I honestly don't know, but I doubt Charlie would knowingly allow an inaccurate body/livery combination to be produced.

MRDBLUE17 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi Charlie, Great news to see the first 142’s announced. You know I want one Provincial one with the Network Northwest logos. I will hope for an orange GMPTE to go with that in the future. I will have a pair of Northern ones probably go with the two branded versions ideally have one on the long distance Carlisle- Lancaster working.

Jim76 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 This is great news Charlie and whilst I would certainly be up for at least one Provincial example it is disappointing (though understandable given current circumstances) that the original GMT and Brown/Cream ‘Skipper’ liveries aren’t being produced as originally planned. I might however be tempted by another Provincial example particularly if it has Network North West logos as suggested by Mark. Jim 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfsup Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Great to hear the project is advancing, although as I'm after a FNW Example I know I'll have a bit more of a wait. But I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the 142 bought up to 21st contrary standards at last! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Nice to see news of the 142s being developed. Hopefully they can be progressed with. This brings us back to seat-gate as 142091 has the Northern Spirit 'posh' seats. Are they going to be done in the model. I can understand if not - but the 144s have given us a model with great detail. As for provincial is there to be one done with yellow doors as per a one later in life - or again as they all the same with 4 leaf so things can be kept simple and made.

Latic Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Wonderful news I'm in for one or two of the provincial units regardless of Hornby finding the original tooling and gatecrashing this. Also would be in for a Orange GMPTE also if this happens in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66738 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Charlie. Would you give any consideration to having the 142 with lit marker lights rather than printed on. It was my only gripe about the wonderful 156. I would have paid a bit more to cover the cost to give lit markers. Next to the Hornby 153, or Bachmann 150, the Realtrack 156 wipacs look odd, and for me is a real shame. 66738 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we were stopped by another manufacturer who makes a 156! Thus we needed another big seller to bring the project into profit so we had to do the Provincial to achieve the funding for a 142 & 144. Saying that we have sold nearly 3000 156s in total and we will be doing the modified lights now we are in a position to do the Northern Liveries, due to the company going out of buisness. The 142 Only ever had the earlier lights. Edited March 9, 2020 by charliepetty 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Thanks for the reply Charlie. When you say 'Northern' livery which livery do you mean? I know that the 'Northern Serco Abellio' livery is the 2015/2016 livery before the 142s were bebranded and obviously the 'debranded' livery is 2016 to 2020 livery. If you let me know what the 'Northern' livery is I will let you know my thoughts. Thank you very much in advance. Kind Regards, Danny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
