Fantastic, thanks for the info. I'll have to find the photo. My mother is from Kilgerran (or Cilgerran as she would insist on spelling it!) so I might have to order plates for 1613 (to replace the ones for 1666 that I already have!!) . Or just order 2 locos ...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob83a Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Not seen it mentioned anywhere but in the latest copy of the magazine model MR303A 1626 has had it’s shed plate changed to 83E rather that the incorrect 84B, both apply to St Blazey but 83E is the correct one for the steam period. Still showing 84B on the ModelRailOffers site though. However it does say in the magazine than number and shed plate may change without notice.

mdvle Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The 1600 is now in tooling according to the just released Rapido UK newsletter, those who aren't subscribers can find a link to it in the topic started by Rapido today on RMweb. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a rough guess but I would say middle of next year or so, still need to finish tooling, go through the EP sample stage(s), and artwork stages before production and that will all be fitting into the schedules for all the other Rapido products.

David C Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 GWJ: Have you seen the Login Station Tea Rooms site? https://www.facebook.com/pg/AfternoonTeaAtTheStation/photos/?ref=page_internal Loads and loads of photos of the Cardigan branch, including plenty of 61xxs which worked the line post war (along with small praires of course).

David C Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I meant 16xx locos of course .... 61xx's would have been just a touch on the heavy side for the Cardigan line ...... The Login site also includes pics of the Talyllyn plus cute hedgehogs, flowers, bouquets and people who have had their birthday parties having tea .... but you can skip those.

Bob83a Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 In the December issue of Model Rail it appears that the Model numbers/Loco numbers have changed for several of the forth-coming releases. It does say in the small print that Guises may change without notice but this represents a major issue for those who have pre-ordered models. e.g I pre-ordered based on models allocated to the West Country but now both models have now changed and now the models I have ordered do not appear to have been allocated in my area. I will therefore probably need to cancel my pre-order and start again once the guises have been settled, not too much of an issue as delivery is still some way off. However if this same problem affects many others then this must affect the production quantities required, again it is probably early enough that quantities have not yet been settled, as delivery approaches this will become more of a problem. Please note also that the models listed on the ModelRailOffers web site do not match the listing in the magazine. While the web site has the shed allocation details the magazine does not.

David C Thanks David C, I have seen the link before but still not managed a visit to Login Station. Most of my visits are to the top end of the line. Hopefully that will change in 2020 and I can enjoy an afternoon tea whilst taking in all the Cardi-Bach memorabilia! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no need to cancel orders. There is likely to be plenty of opportunity to switch to a different number before delivery as the production run quantities will not be matched precisely to the pre-orders.

I understand that the only spec variations are the position of spare-lamp irons, which varied between locomotives, and the 'busby' chimney. The spare-lamp irons are being supplied as a separate etch for fitting by the purchaser. The alternative 'busby' chimney will be supplied with appropriate locomotives.

Are you saying that this is incorrect; ie., that there has not been any changes to the item number and loco number / livery relationships? Clearly, all those that have pre-ordered, including me, will want to be sure that the item number that they have chosen still relates to the loco number / livery that they require. I would have thought that a definitive, on-line list of the models on offer would be a basic essential for on-line sales!

You asked about a definitive on-line list of the spec for each version. I said that I am not aware of such a list but that the spec is the same apart from a couple with Busby chimneys and the position of certain spare-lamp irons which are being supplied as a separate etch anyway. Some model numbers/running numbers have been changed and the information has been sent to enable the website to be updated. Kernow will contact any customers whose pre-ordered loco has changed. I do not have any further information as I've literally only picked up temporary responsibility for this project today. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, John Isherwood. I don't think many of the 22 choices have changed and I've no idea what led to the changes. I will endeavour to unravel it and provide a list of the changes, but it will take a day or two as I only work part-time. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I have now tabulated a list of the revisions to catalogue numbers and running numbers of the 16XX models and have included it below. I have simply cross-referenced from the current advertisement to the previous one. Please be advised that I have no idea why the changes were made (doubtless there was good reason behind them) or of the logic behind particular choices, so there's no point asking. I understand that Rapido is currently in process of revising the artwork to suit.
