Olive_Green1923 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Noted that the CAD of 2151 is in plain black - presumably B142 will be in black, lined green? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I'm expecting an announcement of a blue E1 at any moment .............. named "CRUMBLE" after the Eastbourne ballast siding, of course. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium stephennicholson Posted January 26 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26 I am still hoping that a lined black LBSC version will be announced to replace the one previously offered by Train Times. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainwright1 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I am hoping that they might also do the New Cross Locomotive Depot one as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium RapidoCorbs Posted February 8 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8 (edited) Are you asking if I can make an announcement of an announcement? 😉 We need to see working samples before we can close the order book. Once it's closed it's likely around 9 months to produce and deliver it. Edited February 8 by RapidoCorbs 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium RapidoCorbs Posted February 9 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9 It's all dependent on how well the samples behave and whether there are adjustment to make so not possible to make promises that we might have to break if there is a hold-up. Hope that's understandable. We'll definitely give a heads-up on when the order book is closing though. 9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the RMweb hand-wringing when a 'less than' model is perceived to have been rushed to market, surely slow, steady and accurate are wise development watchwords. The models will be ready when they are ready. 4 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Any clues yet as to whether this loco will be convertible relatively easily to EM or P4 please? Best wishes Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please excuse my ignorance on how this process usually works, but are you anticipating to receive samples of every version, or just a selection? Do you know which ones these will be? Very much looking forward to seeing this progress! Edited February 9 by Olive_Green1923 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money, the smokebox handrail, door handle and tank front handrails are a little 'spindy' - unless they are that way to compensate for the paint thickness? They do look terribly vulnerable to accidental damage, though. CJI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted February 13 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13 I'm not particularly concerned about the tank front handrails since the one I'm after in the condition I'm after didn't have them.

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted February 13 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13 It's a different smokebox door to the one on the EP, note the length of the hinges. The EP one seems to be the later style door so I don't know if the dart is comparable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of gubbins, this is clearly one of the late condition versions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I presume there's a good reason they can't mould a chamfer on the edge of the step ? .... the wing plate looks very fine in comparison ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
