Perfect Paul Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Behave. Charlie's a Yorkshireman. If there's one thing a Yorkshireman loves more than Yorkshire it's hanging on to t' brass. You are quite correct.Hanging on to it is a bit of a problem for Charlie. At a show, I once saw him drop an old pound coin,and it hit him on the back of his neck,before it even had chance to hit the floor !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted November 27, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2017 All Artwork shown is provisional! As you all know it is difficult to spot errors you have made yourself, thus by using Pre-Painted samples & Artwork drawings on forums such as RM Web allows you all to comment, that helps us 'Get it right' So PLEASE comment on the stuff with suggestions, comments and possible new projects!! So I'm just going to throw a few ideas out now that new projects have been mentioned. Firstly I missed the 143s and 144s when they were produced a few years ago. Could their be a potential re run? 144012 in it's new livery, a Northern Rail purple one with branding and a Northern Rail purple one without the branding. I understand that the only one produced of these three in the original batch was a Northern Rail 144 with branding. Also I have noticed that at least one 143 wears GWR Green now. Could this be produced? Then their is the FGW Purple livery with the names of the different places on. I think this is referred to as "local lines" branding. The detail on this model is amazing. I have seen one on Ebay and it just looks magnificent. Could another one or two of these be produced but with different running numbers? Northern Rail 150s. Both the flush ends (no doors) and door ends. One with Northern Rail branding, one without Northern Rail branding both in the original Northern Rail purple and the new Northern Rail white livery. All liveries could be produced with and without doors on the ends. Bachmann's model a couple of years ago featured doors at the ends of the unit. The Northern Rail 155s would be a good idea. I travel on 155342 regularly and it's another Northern Rail unit that I would like to acquire. Something I have wanted for ages are more 37s and 57/0s. 37423 in DRS Basic livery 37606 & 37609 in DRS Compass livery as a twin pack 37608 & 37611 in Europhoenix livery as a twin pack 37607 & 37612 in Colas Rail livery as a twin pack (when they are repainted in reality) Rail Operations Group 37601 Colas Rail 37116 Network Rail 97301 DRS Revised 37716 DRS Compass 37603 or 37604 A WCRC Maroon 37 with the same noses 57002 & 57007 in Revised DRS as a twin pack 57004 & 57009 in DRS Compass as a twin pack All of these locos are just suggestions and I don't expect that all of them will be produced. They are just ideas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'm assuming ? as RT156-313 Provincial Livery is no longer showing on your site - it's pre-sold out ? Is this the Inverness-Glasgow one ? will it be branded Super Sprinter ? as I recall them when first coming up North.............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted November 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi Charlie, possible new projects - TransPennine dmu. I know it would be expensive because of all the different bodies, but people seem happy to pay good money for with things like the APT, LNER dynometer car, Blue Pullman and 4TC, so a TransPennine dmu could be worthwhile.

cs233 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 When the Provincial units ran on the longer distance services they often had carriage destination labels stuck on the windows, would this be practical to include on the model? Would people want it represented? Bachmann managed to do this with the Trans-Pennine MK2 coaches ltd edition items and the printing really added depth and additional detail to the model.

Andy Mac Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Is anyone else still waiting for their spotty Scotrail 156? Are there more to come? Yes, there are a few of us.... Charlie posted a while ago apologising for the delay.... from memory. I think he was expecting the bulk of the 156’s to arrive just before Christmas, so by the time the holidays are over, and he deals with all the orders i’m Not really expecting mine till mid January....

Thanks, Samuel. AFAIK one may have "Abellio" branding the other "First Group" ? ................... Correction - they appear to be both the same ? apart from running no's/destinations - (RT156-113) 156 477 is the Abellio version Edited December 3, 2017 by tractor_37260 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal.n Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 One with Northern Rail branding, one without Northern Rail branding both in the original Northern Rail purple and the new Northern Rail white livery. All liveries could be produced with and without doors on the ends. The new white Northern 156s have an extra filled window as part of an extended toilet when refurbished, so is not a simple re-livery of the ScotRail version. I would buy at least one Northern 144 if there was ever a re-run, you could do 144012 (The refurbished 144 'Evolution' done at the RTC), which will stay around for a long time yet, even if its the only one being done because of the wheelchair access. Not sure how much retooling it would need though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james-htfc Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 How about a collaboration with the NRM for a promo-liveried Northern Unit. Either that or the Settle-Carlisle version?Anything Northern will do though P.S. The Scotrail Barbie 156 is incredible. I can't stop staring at it! Then you fire it up and the sounds are mind-blowing. The toilet discharge is my favourite. It just sounds so sloppy!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to resist temptation at the Manchester show yesterday, but my resolve is slowly cracking. Strongly suspect I'll be bringing one home from ModelRail Scotland in a couple of months.

srihaggis Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Picked up a spotty 156 at warley last week. The model is quite amazing. From detail to the sounds, can't fault it. Then surprisingly my pre ordered 156 landed in the post during the week, this one being the Barbie. Again, superb, decoration looks great, though I do feel the 'First' round logo is too purple, photos generally show light pink, though I will be weathering the unit so it'll blend in. Quite probably the best DMU on the market. Now seeing as you already have tooled the bogies up, just need you to do a 153 to bring them up to stardard ;-) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
