Gibbo675 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Hi Folks, Not quite a 142 but I thought you all might be interested to see what I'm up to with the added bonus that I'm chopping up a Hornby one to build it ! The Hornby parts are spliced together with Peco Model Scene Leyland National bus kits. RDB 977020 aka R3 Gibbo 11 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted August 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi Charlie, hope you are well? The first Northern pacer has been retired today (142005). Well their was one retired last week due to an engine failure but that wasn't a planned withdrawal (142025). So that makes it the first two officially retired by Northern with more and more to go over the coming weeks and months. I was just wondering how close we are to having some Northern branded and debranded 142s? Thank you very much in advance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Sadly no, as Rapido has made little progress on what we had 12 Months ago sadly. We might have to do some more 144's. Charlie 1 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had an explanation from Rapido regarding the delay and lack of progress? If so is their anything that you can divulge? Is the 142 definitely still going ahead? Now some more 144s would be excellent because I missed out on the first batch, because I didn't know about you. Some Northern branded and Northern debranded 144s would be excellent. Thank you very much in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

66738 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If you could at least get the 142/144 original bus seat interiors sorted, an as new Metro train livery 144 would be most welcome. Shame about the 142 delay but gives me time to save up some serious money for 3 of them.

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted October 30, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi Charlie, Hope you are well? Is their any update on the Class 142? Just asking because I would be really keen to buy a couple of purple Northern Class 142s. It would also be good to know how far along the project is for these so that I can think about allocating money for them if they are due for release in say 2020? Also would you consider doing another production run of Class 143s and Class 144s? I missed out on the first batch of these a few years ago and I would be really keen to buy the FGW Local Lines & GWR Green liveries on the 143s and Northern Rail purple livery on the Class 144s. Thank you very much in advance. Kind Regards, Danny. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I am really looking forward to buying some Northern Rail 142s. I feel that you will do an excellent job at producing them as you have done with your other models. As and when you have further updates on these can you post on this thread please? I just don't often check websites now for announcements, I tend to just look on here where everything that's been announced can be found in the same place. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Danny.

The pacers do wear some very nice liveries. I don't even model any of the locations where the 143s in Local Lines livery and the 143s in GWR Green operate but I will definitely have some on my layout just because the liveries are very eye catching and Realtrack do such a good job at printing them. It would be nice for another batch of these including the recently repainted GWR Green 143s. Personally I think that they would sell really well considering that this livery hasn't been produced before and that eight of the GWR 143s will be operating into 2020 now.

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted November 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2019 Reading between the lines on the Class 156 thread, is the “super train” Class 142 the next big project to push or you going to produce more 143/144’s or 156’s?
