60800 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If it's not Green Arrow, I'm going to cry. If it is Green Arrow I'm going to cry as it's going to be at least £220. If it's a full proto HST rake I will also cry as I will have to sell a kidney... 3 1 1 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daltonparva Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 It's probably going to be that NER electric thingy (technical reference). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebell Boy Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Wording in the pre-announcement seems to suggest it's also at Locomotion so possibly the GNR Atlantic no. 251(if its still there) The cynic within me thinks it's something Hornby are to announce in January and Rail's have got wind and announcing theirs early...

surfsup Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 The Class 41 is also at Shildon don't forget. I reckon Rails would be on a winner with that one upscaled to RTR OO! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfsup Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Thinking very much outside the box, there is also 142001 at Shildon too. Though with RealTrack doing the later batches of the 142s, I feel that perhaps the 41 / 43001 would be the more popular choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Its an all new V2, they've been extolling the wonders of this completely new tooling, Rails are offering two specific variants, 15 minutes in and no mention of price.

Edge Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I love the V2 model as it looks, but I’m afraid that the silvered wheels on green arrow are a bit put off for me - they seem far too obtrusive. Think I’ll need to actually see the physical model before I can be certain about what I’m going to do. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil gollin Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 . The unpainted rims are (as I understood it) correct for the preserved models ??? . 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you get to keep your kidney I've resisted sadly.... by only ordering one version of Green Arrow. It had to be 60800 - had two railtours behind her in that condition when I was younger and it was Green Arrow which kick-started my love of railways. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
