JaymzHatstand Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 That's good to hear indeed, thanks for the update. When these were first announced, I did put my name down for a couple, but I can't seem to find a way of finding out which ones, or how to possibly amend/upgrade my order. I can log in to my account on the TMC website, but there's nothing about them in there. Any advice gratefully received! Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've got the same, I presume that with said order number, I'll be able to contact them to make amends should that be required, as I'm considering a sound fitted example. I'll give it a try and see what happens! Cheers J 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers J Hi, the quickest way to resolve any queries or upgrade orders will be to email sales@tmc-direct.com and one of the sales team will then investigate and get back to you.

I'm also guessing that you want a BR early crest version. The options are to buy one without hopper or Westinghouse and add a Westinghouse somehow or other (I'm aware a few different ones may be available, but then there's all the fiddly connections etc to sort out), OR, buy one with Westinghouse and hopper and take the hopper off. I spoke to the TMC guys at Doncaster the other week. He didn't want to take one out of the display case, but was "pretty sure" that the hopper is a separate moulding (makes sense) and therefore "should" come off fairly easily. So, I'm going to get the Westinghouse/hopper version and see what happens. You may also want to note that the two options mentioned have different buffers (one LNER, one NER) so you may want/need to take that into account as well. Cheers. Tim Hi Tim, We have been looking at this further and just to be absolutely clear although the hopper is a separate moulding it is glued into position so it doesn't just lift out. Consequently 'should come off fairly easily' might not always be the case. Thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetalkinlens Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Is it known if the three rail bunker versions (ie not the hopper or cage ones) can remove the rails? ie to cut it down or replace it with a two rail version?

Even if I end breaking the hopper on removal that's OK (just need to be careful with the cage). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZRedBaron Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Hey there, @tmc; I'm tempted to get one of your LNER liveried models for my layout, but I cannot decide for the life of me which one to get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you need to research that, rather than expect the manufacture/retailer to know. If you are a bit more specific about dates and locations, then some RMWeb members might be able to help.

I'm still dubious about the icky looking green; Heljan got it bang on IMHO. I am praying that the TMC one looks better under less brash lighting than the studio shots.
