RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hello everyone. Here is a short video of the class 156 on test on my layout. It runs superbly well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_iD6SgryMw&feature=youtu.be Regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centraltrains Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Any ideas on when next set of liveries may be announced? Impatiently waiting for Central Trains though sadly I feel my livery preference may be somewhat low on that priority list!!! ScotRail ones looking top notch but were always a little too out of region for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Provincial and East Midlands Trains liveries are both next. Rather after Northern Rail Blue, and Regional Railways Express here too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted November 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) We now have the first 156 to appear on that auction site. Although starting with a 99p opening bid rather than an exploitative doubling of the retail price as is usually the case. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Realtrack-Rapido-class-156-in-Abellio-branded-Barbie-livery/182909272763?hash=item2a963e02bb:g:KyoAAOSwh1haEC0V Edited November 20, 2017 by Scottish-Exile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Artwork has been started on the next batch, sadly these will be later than planned due to the main batch of Class 156's not even arrived yet. Provincial and East Midlands Trains liveries are both next. Rather after Northern Rail Blue, and Regional Railways Express here too. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, good reminder. Deposit just placed for 156-458 Super Sprinter in Provincial livery, Inverness to Glasgow.

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted November 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2017 We know the customer, IF sold fpt a high amount he guy will get no more. Charlie That would be a bit harsh given the start price. Hardly the seller’s fault if the buyers go mad. I sold a loco a while back that went for way more than I considered it worth.

I sold a loco a while back that went for way more than I considered it worth. Roy Agree with this – It wasn't put on at £500+, which would be blatant profiteering. Surely once you've bought something you are within your right to sell it on. People buy and sell models as their collections evolve – that's just how it is. I'd be pretty upset if a manufacturer stopped me placing orders just because I'd sold one of their items on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Not trying to be harsh, but we are running out of some of these models and I would like customers to be able to buy them at £220.00 because they want them. People on Ebay are daft paying over the odds, search for Realtrack Models and buy them cheaper. Is that difficult! Charlie PPS We are keeping a small amount for Glasgow Show in February.

People on Ebay are daft, search for Realtrack Models and buy them cheaper. Is that difficult! Charlie PPS We are keeping a small amount for Glasgow Show in February. I have bought and sold on eBay almost 1,000 times and I'm not sure I'm that daft! I've even sold models so I could buy one of your Class 156s. I'll always support retailers in their endeavours to bring new and exciting models to the market, however I think you need to be careful if you start penalising people for selling models on. If they buy 5 and put them on at £400 each then fair enough - it's obvious they are trying to make money. However some people have to sell their models, be it financial pressures, or their desire to obtain something different for their collection instead. It was put on at a starting price of 99p. If it sells for an amount that's higher than the current retail price then that's not that persons fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behave. Charlie's a Yorkshireman. If there's one thing a Yorkshireman loves more than Yorkshire it's hanging on to t' brass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
