RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted January 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2021 Nice to see some blue 56s at last, shame there is no blue 31s which must be an open goal. Roy 3 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covkid Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Technically, the two BR blue 56s should have different cab fronts. Have they as the graphics certainly suggest it ? A 56047 would be nice Edited January 5, 2021 by Covkid Correction 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Roy, I’m going mad if I’ve imagined it, but wasn’t a blue 31 released last year, if not the year before? I believe it was a skinhead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was a skinhead. Yes, but that is part of the point. We have had lots of weathered 31s with headcode boxes, but no unweathered version. The skinhead 31s were not that common, we just need some banger blue headcode 31s. Oh, and a newly tooled 31/4 would be nice Roy 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

owentherail Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 56047 is nice..... with all the large logo numbers to choose from, why 086... is that not one Dapol did. A 100 with silver side grill...... still no 50 with arrows in middle. I will now do one my self 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Markwj Posted January 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2021 Was watching the signal box announcement on utube which seemed to skip over the d&e stuff which was a shame as there is some really nice stuff in here! Both class 87’s for me I think and I may get the key worker 66! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 LL and blue 56s, back of the net. They do listen - I was amongst those asking SK for these. 60s - shame no older liveries bit I think they know what sells - the loadhaul and sector 60s have hung around for ages on eBay . cheapo 66s in a myriad of liveries - great for the youngsters ! am surprised at lack of 31s entirely .Odd, but we have had skinhead 31102 and a new Dutch one is almost here so maybe a rest . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I am pleased with the 60s! I need to do a bit of research as to if the two GBRF ones are still functional, 60026 I think had a fire not so long ago. But will be great pulling my AS biomass wagons (and I still haven't given up hope of more Drax ones given all 95 and 26 do is pull them or IIAs it seems) Disappointed there wasn't a TPE 802 but there's always next year (and there's enough to go at this year anyway). @AY Mod there isn't a pic of the GWR 800 "Trainbow" pack up there, I presume there should be given its in the video?

Brian Hawkins Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Great news about BR blue 56 047 i have wanted one of these for such a long time, also interesting to know the release date which coincides with the end of the latest national lock down in December 2021 ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I hope the black cab doors on 87006 isn't going to be a re-run of the white battery boxes saga.... 87009's livery might be a bit more mainstream but it's still a bit of a rarety that pidgeon holes it into a short time frame, with or without TDM cables. A full height yellow front would have been representative of alot more of the class. As for the different eras for them when they would have been seen at the same time though....

johnsmithuk Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I like the look of that Hitachi Sentinel. I know shunters don't make much money, but there always seems a lack of them released. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they as the graphics certainly suggest it ? A 56047 would be nice Yes, on the picture it looks like they’ve used the early Doncaster cab for both releases but technically 56086 should have the later style Doncaster cab without the upper buffer beam cowling. The other detail differences would require an end on view to confirm. As Roy mentioned, neither release is supposed to be a Romanian example (01-30) so this is irrelevant. Although I would very much like A Romanian to do 56001 Whatley! Guy Edited January 5, 2021 by lyneux 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaneofFife Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) like 87006 its got my money for sure but the nameplate looks slightly on the low on the bodyside. hopefully somebody will check its positioned correctly before the run starts....... agree about the black doors looking at images online.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted January 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2021 highs.. Nice they have done some blue 56’s. Thumbs up on the GBRF class 60. Big thumbs up on the 153 ! and the 87. neutral class 66’s I think are over done at this point, 66623 definitely seems a niche choice, it wasnt that livery for long, then it became Freightliner Blue and is now G&W. lows I am thinking its part of the business plan to purposely avoid tooling anything made after privatisation. Maybe Hattons should start, we’d have seven R numbers tomorrow. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrains29 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Quite a range of liveries to choose from, though seems to be a lack of 90s/00s liveries across the range this year. A Transrail 56 would have been nice, especially with all those mgr wagons they've announced! Edited January 5, 2021 by scottrains29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
