You find us a Leyland Engine in a Railbus, and we will record it! Charlie Will the model be fitted with sprung wheelsets to enable it to prototypically bounce down the track?

37038 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 A friend of mine owns RB004, one of the single car 141-style units. It's currently at Whitrope (Waverley Route Heritage Centre), so let me know when you need a recording and I'll sort it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPS How long is the track now? Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37038 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The track at Whitrope is almost to the tunnel now - can't remember the exact length, but that's the limit for the time being. I've PM'd you contact details for the owner Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 On a slightly more serious note, using Biffo's settings for parking up with red lights on both ends would be brilliant for a unit... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just please don't model a realistic ATW version - I haven't picked up any fire engine models yet to have in case!) Errr, I am very much in the market for an ATW one to go with my 143, 67, 153 etc. The only contemporary Oxford Diecast Welsh fire appliance is an aerial unit which is a bit OTT for a toasty 142? I guess maybe the others were on other jobs when the 142 went up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Work progresses on the 142, the chassis is being redesigned learning lessons from our 143 & 144 Models, thoughts are to feature the innovative features we have installed into our Class 156. Including on DCC, Directional Marker & Tail Lights, Twin Red Parking Lights at both ends, Day Time & Night time Running, Switchable on/off Front & Rear lights for multiple operation, Switchable on/off illuminated Destination Blind, Cab Light with switchable on/off or 'autofade' feature, switchable on/off interior lights & working door open lights. We are trying do design a digital 'Auto Bounce' feature and a lockable guards door so he has an excuse to not collect any fares!! Charlie Liveries Planned as before are: Skipper Livery (Plymouth Based Unit) Provincial (Original Livery) Northern Serco-Abellio livery. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Liveries Planned as before are: Skipper Livery (Plymouth Based Unit) Provincial (Original Livery) Northern Serco-Abellio livery. Fantastic to hear that work is progressing on the 142. When is the expected release date for the above models? Am I right in thinking that their will be two different running numbers produced of the 142 in Northern Rail livery? Do you know what these numbers will be and what the destination boards will say? Will more (other numbered) Northern Rail liveried 142s be produced in further batches? Thank you very much in advance.

The Black Hat Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 This is really looking impressive. Yet again its showing what can be done with a good project and excellent costings. Bachmann, Hornby and others should take note as it makes their offerings fall far short by comparrison. With the Northern 142s are you using the same seat style for them as the two other Provincial and Skipper livery units? Or are you likely to be putting in seating thats 2+2 and more recent?
