Brian Hawkins Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I would think the coaching stock is OO gauge because if they were Ho then the Fell would dwarf the stock even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDominion Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Ah, the GT3 first run has been delivered, excellent! Now attention turns to the Fell. Here is the big question: Will the Fell be ready in time for Delivery this year or will it arrive next year? That, is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The website says Q3 this year and I'm sure Keith has backed that up in the previous live stream Q&A videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with all new stuff that I have ordered, the question is "will it be delivered before I join the choir celestial?" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted April 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 13, 2021 Of course the reverse happens .. I wonder how many Fell kits Judith Edge kits have sold since the announcement of this version of the Fell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2021 Ive still not found a picture of Fell, in the exact render the EPs have been shown, relating to nose grills and roof vents, amongst other aspects. is this a Generic Fell encompassing several iterations of its life in one model ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you ever will find a prototype version which matches the detail on the EP because as far as several people who know a lot about the loco, having deeply researched it, can trace (and as study of numerous photos indicates) the EP reflects a mixture rather than the appearance at any particular date. Without a doubt the best current authority on the subject is Mike Edge who spent a very long time researching changes to the loco when developing his kit of it and which changes took place at what dates (as far as they could be traced) and which things could or couldn't be seen on the loco at the same time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its in the style of a Hornby class 21/29... both at once ? I can live with it, given the alternatives available, but i’d have preferred it to have been accurate, even if only for 1 day. I suppose the other options could have been each side representing a different period, or separate removable fittings (pop out grill / blank panel & interchangeable cab roof)... or failing that tooling it so future re-runs could reflect different periods (as other manufacturers do). I hope someone pops up a picture and says bingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted April 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2021 I looked at modelling the Fell years ago and my research (photos and drawings) did not find the Fell in the condition of the EP, it has several modifications that were not concurrent. I think of it as 'FrankenFell' not very pretty to start with, and made worse by the modifications. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the purpose of an EP was to hang the different bits onto the same model to see if they work regardless of whether all of those bits would have been there at the same time.... Each EP costs money to make, so as many combinations are hung on one model as practical. Helps keep the cost of the final model down. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les That is usually the case for EP models however in this case though I do think there's only 1 body for the fell featuring a selection of the mods it received over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
