LittleRedTrain Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Not sure if it means anything, but 'Bluebell' and 325 in SECR green are now both shown as 'Sold out on preorder', whereas the others are still shown as available to order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Bluebell just added itself to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cor-onGRT4 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I have just placed an pre order for SR green and black one. just on the edge of ordering. SECR plain green goods livery is still available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I bought from the originally released batch, one SECR version and the Bluebell version. Both are lovely models and nice runners, but the Bluebell livery really sets the loco off - it is a very attractive, even pretty, livery. I'm looking forward to getting a matching livery on Rapido's O1 if they choose to produce it. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapido have chosen to produce the blue 01 but I think it's subject to getting enough orders. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyDee68 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Well, the Hattons website is going offline today so I guess this is when we collectively cross fingers and hope that Hattons fulfills its P class preorders. I put in for one on Monday - certain liveries were ‘sold out on pre-order’ but the website accepted my ‘early BR crest’ livery order. Also accepted two other preorders for Andrew Barclay 0-4-0s - so now I have three locos on preorder. (Noticeably not a single version of any of their Genesis coaches was available to preorder - all were flagged as sold out on preorder.) For now, goodbye, farewell and thank you, Hattons Steve S 🤞 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Did the same. Made sure I got the BR Black one with the bigger cab and tanks. I might have been tempted with a SR livered one, but with an order for two Barclays and some Warwells I thought I had better not! Besides I've also got a SE Finecast version and there was only eight of them after all. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr chapman Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Last minute southern green one ordered. I was initially put off by the dome but sod it. I can always weather that one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpplumy Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Decided to order 31555. Its not fitting with the area. But might fit with my "what if" wisbech tramway. It does look rather wholesome in br black Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_sterling Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I thought about ordering another, as a don9r chassis for another lambton project, the wheel size and spacing matches up for Lamtbon 42. I decided not to in the end, as i didn't think it would sell in any volumes if the chassis were to become hard to acquire. Went for a second barclay instead.

JSpencer Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 20 hours ago, Mr chapman said: Having not heard anything I am assuming these are going ahead? Most are still on their website to be ordered with a few other Hattons collection items. It is reasonable to assume these are going ahead. It will just be timing of delivery and if there could be a handover or not to an interested party (I can think of at least 3 and all of them are reputable). We will know once they have decided what etc. But at this time, it is they can still be ordered and Hattons will probably deliver them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 The P class is moving to Accurascale - Hattons should send over the data to them, but if you haven’t heard about your pre order in 2 weeks, chase up with them 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Well, that is it. The last outstanding items I had with Hattons. And so glad to see the P class have found a nice home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I have just had a mail from Accurascale to say they will be sourcing my 0-6-0T Bluebell. The good news is that hopefully it will be a quality product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Accurascale could enhance it over time, but given they are due in Q4, it is safe to say there won't be any changes other than the boxes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
