If a model of probable combination of parts of two early Patrick Stirling GNR tenders is widely mis-advertised as a "Sturrock" tender, is it any surprise to find an O2 mis-described as an O1? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took time, but eventually I realised that this is an unconcious tribute to the unique continuity of Doncaster's steam locomotive design style.

'Sometime' being the significant word. The current disruption to container freight shipping due to events proximate to the Red Sea - Suez Canal - Mediterranean shipping route will be properly biting by then. One might hope that the recent experience of the Suez Canal constipation event will aid the forward planning to minimise disruption, but I wouldn't bank on that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi, Looking forward to the LNER O2/1 and O2/2 to join the O2/3 and O2/4 I already have. Will 63923 and 63940 carry 34F shed plates? Thanks Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) An e-mail from Rails announced a “Heljan Takeover Day” at Rails HQ on Saturday, 13th. Amongst the latest samples the O2 figures. That’s good news and I hope to see pictures posted. I also hope to see a darker grey on the GNR version but no matter; whatever the shade, my pre-order stands. Edited April 7 by No Decorum Clarification that HQ is Rails HQ. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone get a chance to go for a poke around RoS today and see the samples / chat with Ben from Heljan? Haven’t seen much on social media as yet.

I did spot the GNR 2-8-0 in a video. It looked much the same; still very light in colour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
