Unlike Accurascale who are taking a deposit for Deltics with a later request for full payment, SLW doesn't seem to 'explain' what will happen with 'reserve'. Can anyone enlighten me? If you are quite happy to divulge your card details without an explanation as to what will happen, then I have a Nigerian acquaintance who may be able to help you.

If you look at the T&C's section on the website (I just checked) there is a section about 'Reservation of forthcoming products'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinsley-toton Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Because of the heavy demand for the dual-braked BR Blue machine with TOPS numbers, it’s only fair we spread the load by revealing another Class 25/3 on this auspicious date. From later tonight, you will be able to reserve Class 25/3 No. 25296 in BR Blue (Cat No. 2539). Visit our webshop at www.railexclusive.com or call us on 01780 470086 from tomorrow. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am most definitely a SLW customer (2 +1 on order, regular chats with Phil at York and highly delighted by the post sales support from Jamie et al) but I do have a TTG Bachmann 25 with factory fitted sound which is a regular and relied-upon performer on my small (shunting) exhibition layouts. I know some aren't keen on the profiles but it works well and is therefore always in the show stock box.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup reckon those body shells cover the 25/1 and early body 25/2s .... woo hoo! For the sake of completeness we might add the boiler fitted late body 25/2s and token apparatus 25/3s....

The headcode box 24 body (LMR version without tablet catcher recess, not yet announced by SLW) would do for a 25/0 without much alteration, mainly losing the boiler roof vent and exhaust. Tanks etc would also be different but that should be pretty easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) The only problem with 25296... is it is clean and perfect. Ive never seen a rat so spotless, and I did goto rainhill, so I must have. more importantly, he did mention that they were selling very quickly to their pre-order quantities..so a sell out could be on the horizon.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2021 an unnumbered 25/3 in blue would be more than ok with me. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66738 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Excellent news regarding the 25/1. Love the picture of the final 3 on their last journey (or so it was thought at the time). I’ll definitely have an 059 if it’s on the menu. 25904 would be nice too! 66738 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallaig1983 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’m scratching around trying to find the number of an example that ran to Mallaig. I’m to stubborn for rule 1 and my layout is dated in 1983 anyway but I do have a couple of 27s in their boxes so I can run 1980 and I’m seriously weakening to one of these little beauties.
