nickb4141 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi Charlie, These are looking great - any idea when I will be able to put my pre-orders in? Also, will you be doing sound fitted versions? cheers, Nick. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so as I remember them like this (and something to run alongside my 143s) I hadn't noticed this before but that's a nice FNW/FGW Mash up.

Me too, though looks like will be waiting a little longer. I already have the Realtrack 144 in Northern Rail livery which is far superior to my pair of 1989 Hornby 142s, one of which is still in its original Provincial two tone blue and the other was re-bodied to Northern Spirit. Though I significantly improved the running of the Hornby ones by cross wiring between coaches so that pick up to serve both motors comes from all wheels. Now that I am involved with ex-Northern 142s in preservation, a 142 in Northern livery is a must have though I refuse to pay the inflated prices which second hand Hornby ones in this livery now fetch.

MRDBLUE17 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hi Charlie, Good to see you in person at Preston.

RMweb Gold rockmonkey Posted March 14, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Quick search on flickr shows these units got around, found 142015 at Heaton Depot in Newcastle with Morpeth on the destination blind. Be nice to be able to buy alternative blinds for destinations not covered in the production run. Personally I am keen to see some North East destinations such as Newcastle, Middlesbrough or Darlington on units in the sectorisation liveries. It seams a lot of varieties passed through the North East, from the Provincial Livery, Skipper, Tyne & Wear and Regional Railways, hope we can see these liveres on models suitable for North East.

It seams a lot of varieties passed through the North East, from the Provincial Livery, Skipper, Tyne & Wear and Regional Railways, hope we can see these liveres on models suitable for North East. There were a few of them sent to Newcastle that ended up working in the area. All of the ones that went into Tyne and Wear livery were formerly Choc and Cream. One 142026 survived for ages, with the yellow two leaf doors until then painted into Northern Spirit livery. Those that were are all ones that did carry original liveries being 25, 26, 50 and 65 off the top of my head. I grew up with Pacers having lived at Bishop Auckland so developed an interest alongside them having started most journeys with them. I keep meaning to try and get out some of my photos to help Charlie. Will see what I can do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 12 other Skippers to choose from, so any other number would be preferable. Oh, and Cornwall beats Devon in every meaningful measure- I hope the destinations will be easily changeable by the amateur modeller as they are on the Bachmann 150/2 for example!

What is the anticipated release date of these? Thanks for that info, and I thought I new everything about 142's !!! Not that the Hornby model is a threat, as far as I can see the only prototypical feature they have got correct is 'Movement' So in Chocolate & Cream 'Skipper' livery we will have: 142020 Barnstaple - Exeter (4 Leaf Doors) 142027 Sheffield - York On the plus side we will have the odd feature that Hornby have missed off !!! Full Carriage Lighting. Bi-Directional Front & Rear running lights Rear Reds & Front Whites switchable off. (For multiple running) Working Cab Lights. Full interior detailing. 100% correct roof detailing. Seperatly fitted Exhaust Pipes. Superbly detailed underframe & correct size of wheels. Minature precision underfloor motor drive. NEM couplings & BSI Dummy couplers. Live intercarriage pickup collection. Highly accurate livery application & specification. 21Pin DCC Interface & Pre Fitted speakers. Legomanbiffo Sound Package. That's the Skippers sorted then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bouncy Bouncy. Edited March 18, 2022 by charliepetty 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Perhaps Darlington to Saltburn for chocy and cream as they used to be regular on that route. Off the top of my head, 142017 to 142022 were all chocy before then being painted into Tyne and Wear PTE livery version of Regional Railways and these were based at Heaton. I think 142023 to 25 and 26 were based at Leeds but 25 was also at Newcastle. I am sure 26 moved to Newcastle too as it was always working around the North east, with its yellow doors. 142023 was the first one painted into regional railways standard livery and was the depot pet of Neville Hill, hence why that one was also done for the Hornby model in that livery.

Global Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Hi Charlie 142027 Sheffield - York will be great but as you haven’t said four leaf doors I’m assuming this one is going to have yellow two leaf doors?

Be fair, the Hornby ones do bounce along the track!! (and they are at least 35 years old). Looking forward to the Skipper, when/how do we order?
