Just the 1970's blue version Andy I have one of the original Heljan green versions so it will be interesting to compare the differences. I suspect there wll be a number of these available on the second hand market (and probably for ridiculous sums if Hattons prices are to be believed!). I got mine from Tower back in the day when they were selling them off for £295! Paul R 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 47 was an original Blue, and I took a motor out and used an OO chip in it, as could be heard on the videos, and it was a great runner as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 You would have heard the mind the gap man if you travelled on the London Underground ,when you stopped at a curved platform .His voice boomed out round the station whenever a train stopped perhaps an annoucement when your units stop in the platform. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had I know I was having Passenger stuff, I would have gone for a Different Station Layout, probably along the almost strait bit, or even hiding it under a bridge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Looking good - although I’d be inclined to head back to the 90s and stay there as the freight was way more interesting , and were the locos, than anything 2005 plus . 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, the end of the 90;s with Sector, Mainline, Transrail, Loadhaul still lingering on, on some Locos and the beginning of EW&S 66's. But I do also love the DB Shenker Red and the Colas of today, again its an area I may ADD to when funds permit. I must admit to keep looking at pics of Ian, @TemeraireTidworth, and @class"66" and @saxokid various threads and thinking, so it is a possibility long term. The Passenger would be the same as I currently have, so no change there at all. Edited November 4, 2021 by Andrew P 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Again, not sure if its just me, but over the last few days I have a NEW Boots and other Adds that appears as a strip, top right of the screen and COVERING the Contents I follow link, and there is, NO "X" to get rid of it, so I now have to go to the bottom of the page and use that Contents I follow link, once I've KILLED OFF the rolling Add from the right hand side, that is usually hiding that one. I may have some time out of here, as I'm finding it very frustrating at the moment. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
