GEARJAMMER Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) As said above 66413 carries a lighter shade of orange compared to the other 4 repaints, the Hattons model of 66623 looks like it carries the original lighter shade of orange as per 66413, which would make in inaccurate, 66623 should be a much deeper shade of orange, however, im wondering if it maybe the camera changing things because as soon as 66587 came out the box I wasn't convinced, my initial thought was it looked more purple than pink. A friend has 'Pinky' (my nickname for it) on order so I will look forward to looking at it. Given the detail of 66782 in Biffa livery with the silver around the cab windows i'll be surprised of the shade of orange and pink used on 66623 & 66582 is wrong.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Brilliant, instead of an argument about wrong paint shades on a model, here weve a barney about paint shades wrong on the real thing.

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted March 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2020 Well that's a prototype for everything. The real loco is painted the wrong colour. It never ran in that colour. Oh wait........ I'm confused. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The class 28 was Hattons.. TDB 968006 perhaps ? if SLW were to do my username, it would be very confusing for me.. I’d have to figure out what colour I am and if I moved in that colour.

The real loco is painted correctly for the spec' issued but not the one that should have been used, however when it appears on a model it will be correct! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In think that remains the story for the GB models that are being done, but think Hattons will be doing a uniform GB orange rather than actually match the different levels of orange or yellow to the loco.

How can you say with certainty that the model will be correct? On the photos supplied so far it appears a million miles from correct. Thats why it needs clarification. I don’t have an issue with it being wrong. i just want to know so I can decide whether to order a different one. I am very much looking forward to receiving my Hattons 66s. I actually have 10 on order. That said any models which appear to have big inaccuracies will be changed to versions that don’t. Hattons have my full support with this fantastic project.

Pre Grouping fan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Remember hattons use very bright artificial light to photograph their models. To me it makes it look very washed out and nothing like it will look with the model in front of you. This is a better Ide of the colour in their recent streams showing off production samples, specifically the freightliner example is from 6:30 in this video, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the difference between the column in bold and the column in light type? My ordered H4-66-018-S is in light type (with no clickable link) therefore I am assuming the one's in the right hand most column are not yet ready. I have noted your in-house digital service is in limbo but don't know if these are coming DCC & sound fitted from the factory in China. No rush, I fully understand the issues, it will be here when it is here. Edited March 23, 2020 by john new Extra note added for clarity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 That's only a 2nd run of H4-66-001 to H4-66-031. It doesn't seem to include H4-66-032 (Flying Dustman) onwards. If this is true, it will miss the last date before 'non-urgent deliveries lockdown'. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be the ramaining batch from before and the DCC sound versions of 001 to 031. Hattons have said they don't yet know of a delivery date for the rest. But they've received the production samples of 032 onwards so it won't be for a month or so at least. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br60066 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hopefully we should see the first batch on our doorsteps soon. Maybe if there is enough demand Hattons will sell the sound chip seperately to let people upgrade themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
