Dan Hamblin Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 That looks rather splendid 🙂 Much longer to wait for prices to be finalised for the other two packs? Thanks, Dan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this has already been covered, but are you planning on having an alternative coupling for those of us getting Lion so that it can haul Hornby's carriages? For the record was completely on your side re events earlier in the year, but it would be very helpful for those of us with their Rocket and carriages! Best, David 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted July 15, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15, 2022 Those coupling rods are hypnotic! I wonder if anyone will add a servo to the coach and make the chimney go up and down. Steven B. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyRule1 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I wonder if exhibition managers will have to limit the number of Lions with sound at their show? All we need equipped now is a sound bus and road roller. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2022 I already have the deluxe set on order with rails, having watched the video I’m so glad I decide to go for sound, it sounds brilliant I Had to check it was the sound one I’d ordered so while I was on the website I upped my order to get the coach and bus too! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted July 16, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2022 Coach also added to my order. For some reason I thought it was in the deluxe pack already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I'm assuming that the Titfield coach which can now be ordered, is the film version, rather than the 'proper' W&U version? I am aware of the history here, in that the 'film' coach is NOT the one preserved. The body of the latter was retrieved from a farm (as a chicken shed or similar) in Cambridgeshire, and now runs on the North Norfolk railway, but with the interior modified with a bar similar to the film version.. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 16, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2022 The W&U coach was originally to be with the Toad brake van but its now being offered as a stand alone item. 1 minute ago, stewartingram said: I'm assuming that the Titfield coach which can now be ordered, is the film version, rather than the 'proper' W&U version?

Yes it is the film version but I understand it is to be produced in GER, LNER and BR(E) versions or that was what was originally planned. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And bigger wheels I believe to raise it to a similar height as other coaches. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the coach as presented within the fiction of the film (i.e. with a bar inside - the interior shots were done on on a set and thus the 'real' coach never had a bar in it in real life, BUT the preserved coach does have a bar). 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
