I think it's Kenow too as you you try to create an account for purchase on both websites (using the same e-mail address) I think you get a warning that the account exists already. Also I think if you change your password on one site it affects the other too. Edited January 19 by 5Dublo2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Model Rail Offers site looks just like the Kernow site and, like you, I believe that Kernow handles the orders. The phone number is different though and the phone was answered “Model Rail office”. Of course, a member of Kernow’s staff might answer the different phone number on behalf of Model Rail. On the one hand, the chap who answered the phone volunteered the information that the model was in Denmark and should be available soon but on the other hand showed no interest when I mentioned that I had had difficulty subscribing to the magazine. Unravel all that if you can; I can’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37081LochLong Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Model Rail have never made a secret that the website is maintained by Kernow, in fact the first line on their About Us page it even states "You are viewing our Model Rail Offers website which is operated by Kernow Model Rail Centre on behalf of H Bauer Publishing, part of Bauer Media UK" And when you order anything from Kernow, on your email receipt it says "items marked "MR" are supplied on behalf of Bauer Media" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point the person who first asked the question is that when the 11 and 12 were announced they gave us a list of models for both classes. But now the blue class 12 have vanished from the class 12 release list and the original poster of the question was asking where it had gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchja32 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I recall one of the recent Model Rail magazines including a revised list of Class 12's. They removed the BR Green Weathered livery and altered the numbers. I'm not 100% on it but I believe the Class 12's numbers and liveries are now as such: BR Black Early Crest No.15220 (15223 on website) BR Green Early Crest No.15224 (Formerly BR Black No.15235) BR Green Late Crest Wasp Stripes No.15221 (15224 on website) BR Blue Wasp Stripes No.15212 & Tilston Light Blue Wasp Stripes No.15231 Photo for reference: 5 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opelsi Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Just received a pair of Class 11's. 878 ' BASRA' + 12105 THE LMR dos not have the lights front and back though 12105 does. Gearing appears low which is good. Cab lights, looks like a wand is provided. After running in, next job is fit the Next18's! Enjoy if you are getting one or more. Look good to me so far!

As projects progress, research is ongoing. More research comes to light and sometimes differences are revealed which mean that a number has to be changed to fit in with a different production batch. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opelsi Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Fitted a Zimo Next18 to 878 'BASRAS' I like the way the side panels come off and and screws hidden beneath. [Important to line up shell and chassis properly when refitting]. Shell did take a little wiggling to free, though not too bad. Gentle fingernail persuasion of the cab end ensured no resultant damage. Make sure you fit the decoder the correct away around (brief common sense failure)! Remapped the cab lights from F2 to F1 on my ECoS which was a doddle. Also had to use the 'reverse' feature to get the shunter to go nose first when showing forward direction on the ECoS. All working very well, yay! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking at going down that route presently. Maybe in a couple of years once they have the system bedded in. The fit of the socket means the decoder runs longitudinally if that helps.

Opelsi Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Yes, I am really looking forward to the Class 12. Looking at it the obvious questions is will Heljan be able to use this to entered the Class 08 market. However with many of us probably fully stocked with 08's, it occurred to me if they could possibly wring out a Class 10 as well as the forthcoming Class 12. Hoping that might be possible! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
