JaymzHatstand Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Well, I've finally got myself a temporary layout of settrack laid down in my room, and I can play! This is usually accompanied by my son (2 and a bit) who dictates what runs, but the Victory has been allowed out to play with a suitably prototypical train,... ...of cats! We both very much enjoy the sounds, and I'm enjoying learning to actually drive it, being so used to DC! I've got some nameplates on order, so in due course, it'll be named Seb, after the boy! Fantastic model, and great fun to play with! Cheers J 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Marlin Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) I believe I am receiving I&WD 12 for Christmas. I'm thrilled, though, to discover that there's a discount code available for nameplates - I'll be taking advantage of that to get some made up for a narrow-gauge diesel that has languished without. I'm delighted that getting a PI model will allow me to improve another! Edited November 20, 2023 by Black Marlin typo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted November 30, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) A very nice e-mail from Planet Industrials... The extra bits for a Westernised 'Victory' loco should be available from the Light Railway Stores soon. GWR 666 & 667 were lifelong residents of Pill shed, as was 2161before being sold off in 1929. Information in the first instance to Planet Industrials. Nice! Edited December 1, 2023 by tomparryharry More information. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just ordered a green victory. Edit- I've ordered the etches as well on a separate order. A plan is forming...... Thanks Paul.

45568 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thank you for this James, I read it in conjunction with news on the GWR overlays. As a result, plain black ordered with a set of overlays, VAT deducted and a very reasonable postage rate to Australia! Look forward to receiving the items, and good luck to you both for the future and 2024. Now to get the other westerney bits and plates from 247. A nice Xmas pressie to me! Cheers from Oz, Peter C. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold franciswilliamwebb Posted December 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2023 Well, how could I resist an offer like that? 🙂 Shame there's no sound ones in the sale, or I'd have had one of those, but I've adopted a nice quiet black one 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveyDee68 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 No, no, no, no, no! I have all the Victories I want* - I don’t need another one, even at a super discount price! My name is Steve and I’m a shunting locomotive addict. It has been 136 days since I last purchased one… Must resist… must resist … must resist ordering a black one and GWR etches… Steve S * I only needed one to satisfy my desire for a Victory tank loco … but I ended up wanting one of each colour … 1 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Great to hear these models have been selling well!!! Love mine, and (can't remember if I've said before) it has become very popular when it has run on the club layout from a reliability standpoint, really is fantastic when you need a loco running 6 or 7 hours at a time. Luckily for me I don't have the need to acquire another one currently, as otherwise I would be. RTR Project No2, whatever it may be, will be brilliant to see.

90733 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 That's a very good price, I'm very tempted! Has anyone successfully converted one of these to EM gauge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Etchings to convert mine to GWR 666 have been duly ordered :) https://www.lightrailwaystores.co.uk/products/victory-riveted-tank-overlays?_pos=12&_sid=3e44229f7&_ss=r&fbclid=IwAR2shwXWkkAMgqjkkbQtmXYYoCU6VfW8bOqH1pJNxV3o-eQtNtF2ZTmVa18 Now do I order another for 667? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HExpressD Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 £99 is a bonkers price for an amazing locomotive. If the mortgage people have seen all the bank statements they want to maybe I'll add another one or two to the fleet. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted December 1, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Incredible price for an incredible loco! I've way overspent on model trains this month otherwise I would partake, so sadly my current one will have to remain alone 😄 However I urge anyone on the fence to BUY ONE NOW! #NotSponsored Edited December 1, 2023 by Fair Oak Junction 1 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
