gridwatcher Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Had a detailed inspection at Perth at the weekend and all I can say is that the prototype is stunning. Roll on the finished article! The interior is exceptional and the interconnection is a work of genius! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Had a detailed inspection at Perth at the weekend and all I can say is that the prototype is stunning. Roll on the finished article! The interior is exceptional and the interconnection is a work of genius! We have pre thought the interiors, the Northern & WYPTE versions will have the current Chapman seating, with armrests and grab handles!! With the seating layout being correct. When we do the pre-upgraded earlier versions we will have 2+3 Bus seats fitted, not the 'one fits all' Hornby seating. The 143 will have the correct seating layout as per the Arriva & First GW units (this is different to the 144 units). Also different on the models as per the prototypes are: Buffer Beams, Front Steps, Underfloor Equipment, Roof Pod earthing strips. We are trying very hard to have the Best Unit in 4mm, hope we do! Arran & Charlie ( Next DMU being worked on!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Does it come with a bag over the coupling too!? What extra service that would be for during winter! I wouldnt worry about trying to have the best unit in RTR.... this is going to create a league of its own when its done that all others will aspire too.... although some Bachmann things are good, they dont have the extra detail and properly thought out lighting arangements either....

Charlie Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 A class 02, small, compact and a little unique in the UK with it's veranda. Or a class 07, which again are a little unique, though a restricted sphere of operations, that said it was used a fair bit in industrial railways.

The Black Hat Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I would have thought they have already researched and chosen it.... after all they have selected good units and wagons to do so far.... Or could you do the holy grail and just make an absolutely perfect class 37, as every one so far has been slagged off for some small reason.... and I dont get why.....

The Black Hat Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hate to say it but have the widespread and popular shunteres not been done? I love the 08... and 03... but things like 04, 14 have been done, either some time ago or recently but not to the same standard. 07? Looks nice and certaintly a novel engine... Steam, a decent J94 would be good, especially one that can have industrial external motion too. A J72 redone... but thats my northern preferences. Others might champion a J69, J70? But maybe its worth cracking on with more units, as the scope for there is quite large..... especially to the standards you are laying down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Which opens up a huge list! Unless you want to restrict the company/area of operation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Wouldnt you want to keep to diesel and modern image things. Your container wagons and modern units means your putting yourself into a niche area of the market that will probably expand given the 40+ rule for those returning to the hobby added to those that stayed and modelled throughout. That way your range compliments each other... unless you do plan for more diverse expansion yourselves.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg201 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 If we are staying to a Modern Image scene and with Class 08 Shunters done. I think it would be brilliant to have a Niteq depot shunter! Certainly unique and quirky! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
