johnd Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Just seen the RRP for the Baby Deltic, not baby in price think will have to have a rethink. Just wonder what price the Railbus's will be when they get here and if they will have interior lighting ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium polybear Posted January 10, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2010 Just seen the RRP for the Baby Deltic, not baby in price think will have to have a rethink. Must've missed this somewhere - please tell... Maybe it's the cost of all those extra Clayton Class 17 chassis buried somewhere Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trains4U Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 RRP is ??119.95 Expect them to be selling for around ??105 - ??110 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod2 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 RRP is ??119.95 Expect them to be selling for around ??105 - 110 Thanks Gareth All - sensible comments are still welcome but let's not have a repeat of the class 14 topic, please. If you think it's too much, fair enough, don't buy it, but don't bother telling everybody about it Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 ??105-??110 pounds for an RTR Baby Deltic to modern standards with one of Heljan's smooth running chassis underneath it? Sounds good to me! I'll take two, honest! Gives me some time to save up for two green ones, I can start a Baby Deltic fund... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Deltic Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 It looks like class 15's may have already landed on our shores, and I might get my greasy mitts on a couple by next week. Edit: No chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdseyecircus Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Which RTR coaching stock would be suitable for the class 23's? Also were they known to haul freight too? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Which RTR coaching stock would be suitable for the class 23's? Also were they known to haul freight too? Paul 1B66 Cambridge Buffet Express: BR mk 1, with usually a Gresley buffet car, sometimes a Thompson, later on eventually a Mk1. Don't forget that for at least one season, 1964?, the CBE was extended to Ely. The Mk1's in general replaced Thompson or Gresley vehicles. Suburban trains had "lesser quality" ie older stock for distance runs such as Cmbridge, but more usually the suburbans didn't get as far and would be Quad-Art sets or non-corridor Mk 1's. Yes they did revenue freight; I have memories of them on goods trains at Sandy and Peterborough North. They were also used on engineer's trains; don't forget Hitchin was their base for a long while (the present-day engineer's yard is the purpose built diesel depot). There was a pw depot at Hitchin in those days; I think it worked in collaboration with the rail depot at Chesterton Junction north of Cambridge (pioneer of long-welded rail). I remember 20's working between the 2 depots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdseyecircus Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks for that Stewart. I will have to look out for the Bachmann Suburban MK1's - amongst others. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spackz Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Any new updates on the Baby Deltic, it would seem Heljan have a lot on their plate Lion (which we have seen a body of), 23, 28 and 76's, I just wondered if they'll get them out by November. When do Heljan usually announce their models last year it was November I seem to recall. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Heljan are cutting metal for the 76 according to Olivias Trains, i presume the 76 has leapfrogged other models in the queue, a reasonable decision, after all Heljan are not having to fund this one, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Sample of Heljan Baby Deltic on the stand at Warley, Rebuilt 4 panel headcode version, body not decorated, pink/red primer finish which is similar to Works primer colour, Model certainly captures the essence of the class, might not topple the Hymek for that elusive body to bogie relationship, but it is still under development so that may change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Paul I don't think Heljan are sure at this stage, Paul. I think the question was asked some time ago and early indications were not at the moment.

mike knowles Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 After looking at the model on display at Warley I was thinking of getting one, chopping the body up and inserting various additions, changing the bogies and converting it to a Class 37! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where'd you get that info from, 2 years is a long wait might just go for the up coming Dapol 21's, Baccy 40 to go with my 24's, 31's, 15's and 37 for my Stratford layout, however no doubt that will change once I see one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
