As Mick says, a revised 'NORTHERN' one would be a great addition in due course. We have done 'northern' to match the Bachmann Class 150, so to help with keeping the Era of layouts correct, the Class 142s are going to be more exciting: 'Bouncy-Bouncy' The 142s almost fit into this ERA too!

charliepetty Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I am sorry for the silly delays, I was promised Detailed CAD drawings for showing at Glasgow Show for Tuesday, OH Silly me, its now Thursday. This is a constant theme creeping back day by day, they will come but always at the last minute!!! I remember the Class 143 First Great Western & Arriva Trains Wales units, 100% certain the the NEC one November when I was lad!! They came in March, 4 months late!!

I have quite a wide era buy for but I think 2019 is my cut of with most stuff aiming to be around 2015 the change from East Coast to VTEC for me. So a mix of Northern purples and white no purple is required really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickb4141 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi Charlie, Live hundreds of miles away from Glasgow, so won’t be able to ask in person! I’ve got two Northern current livery and two Midnight Blue & Mauve versions on order with you - any idea when they might be available? Many Thanks, Nick.

Melton Works Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 On 08/12/2020 at 00:22, charliepetty said: On the Provincial ones we have sold nearly 1400 models, less that 100 left now. We appreciate your comments re the front small lights, but this mod is over £1000.00 as wwe needs new light guides, circuit board and re-arranged decoder CV changes, which complicates the spares issues and of course customers ordering the wring decoders, look at the Dapol circuit board issue with some models needing different decoders. We are trying to make a compromise to standardise things to cut out customer issues later. Charlie PPS When the ScotRail Saltire come out again, this will have the new toilet (Missing Window) bodyshell. You mean something like this Charlie?...

charliepetty Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) The underfloor detailing on our model is a little over the top by other models standards, but our 3D scans show what we had to achieve, so in our opinion, our New Northern ones will 'probably' be one of the most detailed model in the UK market today, these are proving popular if our pre-orders are anything to go by.

I think the "N" within the oval is also lighter in real life too. Apart from my minor observations, I'm really looking forward to these.
