Grovenor Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ok, had a look, where do we select P4 or EM wheels? I had that option when I ordered my 24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grovenor Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The 25s are not in stock either, they are just reservations at this stage. But thanks, My memory says it was an option on the loco order before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good when they get round to the early 25s too. Good choice , I have 2 of the 24/1's on order , 1 pre-TOPS 1 TOPS , thinking about ordering a couple more as well , I was hoping they would have progressed from the 24/1 to the early 25/0's but I think those will come in time , although nothing is Scottish in this batch I'm tempted to get 25324 to renumber to 25301 which spent some time at Eastfield in the late 70's 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm going to really have to struggle to resist! The 24 was nothing at all to do with my interests but I purchased one because they would supply with P4 wheels fitted. So I indulged (Green with small warning panels). They do the same for the 25 so I ordered a two tone green with small warning panels. Any company prepared to do RTR P4 deserves support.

Waverley West Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Order for two (25324 and an ETHEL) duly placed. It would be scarily easy to sign my life away on that website. A few more will follow I think once they move on to more Scottish examples. Interesting info re. 25301 being based at Eastfield though, sulzer 71! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , spent around 15 months based there I believe , Locoshed book of 1978 shows it based there and Derby Sulzers site confirms it too 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulzer71 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I caved and ordered 25324 to renumber to 25301 as I'm impatient and can't wait for the 'Haggis' versions Edited March 12, 2021 by sulzer71 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Derby Sulzers website it's assumed it went blue in 1975 on it's visit to Crewe works 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just added 'Celebrity' Tamworth Castle in two tone green to my 2x25's and my single 24 already on order. Never realized that this loco was based at Holbeck in Leeds on training duties so its got to be on my list. Really impressed with the work that has clearly gone into these models which is excellent.

RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted March 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just ordered an ETHEL and selected "ignore topic" on a certain other manufacturer's thread. Feels right!

GRUNFOS Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Does any money change hands when one is ordered? just wondering as I have a 37 and 2 86's to pay for first but would like to make sure I get a couple of blue ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
