Nevertheless a note by the samples to say they were early samples and perhaps listing the areas subsequently rectified would be seen as a big plus in my opinion, as it shows diligence on behalf of the manufacturer. Worth considering in future, perhaps. On a more technical note, I wonder if the tooling got refined to remove the seam, or is there a number of workers rubbing them down with fine wet and dry paper? The latter much like I do from time to time! Hi @97406 It's a bit of both, really! 26 minutes ago, G-BOAF said: Given that it wasnt clear at the timeof posting these pictures that this was an early sample, inl dont think thats fair. Also remember that due to COVID, this is now the first time that any samples have been seen by the public in the flesh. But glad they are just the old samples and look forward to seeing more pictures of the production models. Just for the record everyone, we totally understand the reaction and in fairness it wasn't clear from the outset, but it's now been explained and hopefully we are all happy campers again. After all, can you imagine our reactions when we first opened the wrapping to see it? The air was as blue as the paint job, we can assure you, and it was never going to fly in our eyes. Cheers!

I think it may still be available to pre order. Thanks for the suggestion - I was only looking at the A/S web site. However, Tulyar is sold out at Rails!

When it was first released, it used class 31 bogies. How about Deltic bogies under a class 92? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to REALLY regret not placing an order when I had the chance. As both the purple & blue examples are all gone, I may have to plump for a green version. They'll come up on Ebay albeit at inflated prices if they're not already there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
