Good, glad of the slight delay for the sound version……gives me time to remove the masking tape from the tracks and clean up the rails ready for its arrival……it had better be good 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 7013 Posted September 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) My account was debited yesterday, I am really looking forward to receiving this loco. Will wait a little while before fitting sound (probably a few minutes after receiving the loco) so that I can look at what will be available.

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted September 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2021 Well I couldn’t wait to order a sound chip, unfortunately Rails had run out of sound upgrades, so it was off to legomanbiffo, order placed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomer1979 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Did 18100 have spoked wheels? That's what the model description says. Also only two axles driven per bogie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also only two axles driven per bogie. “All four axles,” the blurb says but there should be six. All the same, I’m pretty ecstatic. I hope the Class 80 is a success because it might prompt other manufacturers to look again at the earlier ACs and, you never know, the Rails-Heljan alliance might take a look at the Class 70s. No, not those, the electrics. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted October 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2021 Here we have a prime exhibit from thr rail transport 1951; South Bank Exhibition of The Festival Of Britain. Seen by yours truly on the stand .An excellent and logical progression from it earlier Swiss counterpart. Rails once again at the forefront of developing something different. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
