Butler Henderson Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) To clarify the issue of Thomas and Percy Bachmann produced them in 2004-2006 for the UK, Thomas as Billy and Stuart in train sets, and as no.2005. Percy turned up as Greg in the same set as Stuart and as no.311 in 2005. The licensing issue prevented any further production but obviously the locos and train sets may have been available for some time thereafter.

Bomp Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 At the moment, my intention is to Talyllynify the Minitrains 1042 0-4-0, meaning, to my mind, paint it green with yellow lining and add some buffers. I'll take the lights off as well. It looks pretty Eigiauesque already, so it fits with the general area. I'm going to call it Bryn Eglwys as a geographical feature associated with the line, after Talyllyn and Dolgoch. I would hate to have to choose which person deserves the next loco... I can't upload the picture from work, so I'll have to edit when I get home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom J Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't think there are any at the moment, but more stocks are due from America soon, so you might want to email Tootally Thomas to reserve one of those. I'm sure I'm not the only person to have seen the RM article and been taken by surprise, only to find none available. Hopefully with this being a new tool they will get some welly out of it now that demand is established, even if it is only as Skarloey. To some degree, Bachmann won't mind where they end up, so long as they sell! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomp Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The Bachmann USA Website shows out of stock and no indication of when or whether there will be more. I'll be ordering Rheneas as soon as he's available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted May 5, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2016 Second batch of Skarloey due in May, Rheneas is end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF51 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Walthers, the big US model rail dealer/distributer, has it listed due on May 31, with a sale price. Of course, it was April 5, then April 19, so who knows. Have one reserved through my fav online shop, and will probably reserve Rheneas when it gets listed.

bertiedog Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Without ploughing through all the posts, is the Loco sold in the UK? and what is the running like etc. I can get one ordered in the States if they are available, but would prefer to buy here if possible, (I am fully up on the licensing issues, which are about as insane as you can get).

Edge Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Loco is sold by a very select few places I the uk, tootally Thomas is the most obvious example. However I personally found it cheaper to order from the USA. No where has them in stock at a reasonable price at the moment, but hey are due some time in May Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF51 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Sigh... Skarloey model delayed again, now the Walthers site states "No info from Vendor", regarding due date. Oh well. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel11 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Evening people! I see that Tootally Thomas has another batch of 95 Skarloeys on the way. If any of these purchasers are interested in the lining decals, I will be printing some more subject to demand, in red, black and green liveries. Please either post here, PM me or contact me via my website. Thanks, Daniel Edited June 22, 2016 by daniel11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am correct in saying it is April 2016 one? I could get one of Ebay Edited June 23, 2016 by scottie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted June 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2016 Why not just give Peco/Railway modeller a call - they might still have it available as a back issue. Happy modelling. Steven B. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF51 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Have received mine, not just need some N/009 track to give it a run. Was about to cancel my order, a couple of weeks ago, and use the funds for items needed for other model projects, when I found it was in stock and shipping, at Walthers, so let the order stand. Not sure where I will go with it, maybe a fictional NG line, built by a couple of towns after being bypassed by the major railway, somewhere in Kent.

daniel11 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) More black livery decals and red livery lettering in stock at: http://www.dtbmodels.ml I have some green ones as well but there is a slight misprint on them.------EDIT------------- I have had the misprinted green decals reprinted so correctly printed sets are now available from my website at the normal price.

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted November 3, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2016 A quick appeal to anyone who has used the Narrow Planet slimline conversion kit on their Skarloey models - could I buy the original parts (cylinders, slide bar assembly/crosshead and rod) from you? I think it would be perfect for a project I am working on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjgardiner Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I've been slowly working on a conversion amongst my many projects. I have many sheets of BR lining, but i've just ordered a set of daniel11's decals to make my life easier. https://sjgardiner.wordpress.com/2016/11/26/oo9-talyllyn-3d-printed-bits-and-stripping-paint/ I'm doing the previous lined black livery, personal choice, while i think the red looks very sharp, i like the black lined out look.
