The Black Hat Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 A brilliant result for winning the DMU of the year award. I voted for such an outcome as I think its richly deserved and sets the standards for what can be done. Its also deserved for the work the Realtrack team have put into the project and I only hope its follow up class mates are soon on stream and arrivng here soon to much fanfaire and flange...

jamie.dunn Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I ordered an Northern Rail (Pre 2011 livery) last wednesday and i can't wait for it to arrive the main reason i brought one was because i saw it at the York Model railway show and well i sort of fell in love. how long does it usually take to deliver by royal mail. Thanks Jamie D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi jamie.dunn, i've just read your post, and I think the answer to your question will rely upon two things. The first is when Realtrack have the new batch of class 144's in stock, and are therefore ready to take orders. Secondly, is posssibly your place in a queue of orders. But if you did select Royal Mail Special Delivery, when the unit is posted, it should arrive the following working day. Hope that this is of some help. All the best Market65 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie.dunn Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Ah ok i know that the Up to date Northern Rail one sold out which is why i ordered the Pre 2011 one. I'll get a chance to go to the bank today at some point so i'll see if any money has been taken i'll know if its been dispatched. Me being me i thought i clicked the special delivery button But i must off missed it but aslong as she comes then i'm not too bothered . Thanks for the reply market65 Thanks Jamie D Edited April 29, 2014 by jamie.dunn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 New batch of 144s being checked at tested as we speak, over 60 to go out next week, not including trade orders. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie.dunn Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 It must of been you i talked to on Tuesday Charlie. The only reason i rang was just to make sure I wasn't left in the dark. But i rang up after the times on your website and you still picked up so thank you now i know the situation with the 144. thanks can't wait till it does arrive.

Pete Haywood Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Good evening ~ My 1st Post so please excuse a potentially dumb question! Does anyone know where the topic of a Class 141 Leyland 2 car 'railbus' went? It seemed to go quiet despite posts/pictures to DC Kits in 2010. I for one would welcome re-opening the debate since I am modelling a Dewsbury/Mirfield layout in 4mm and in the 1980s and it would benefit from at least 2 original green/white WYPTE "Torville and Deans". Always a market for those modelling Iranian Railways also I believe! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 No idea, but I can confirm we have no current plans for a 140 or 141. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium richierich Posted August 28, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) MTK produced the 140 and 141 as kits, but not for the inexperienced modeller! NTK might still have the moulds to produce the kit? A 141 would be useful, but for a manufacturer they'd need to see the was a market sufficient to recover the costs of research, development, tooling and production. Its a shame Tower Models didn't produce the proposed long window bay Leyland National kit, because that would give the raw material for the scratch build / cut and shut model. The Hornby 142 body shell and glazing offer the raw material, but the doors need moving and the roof narrowing back to the bus width of 8' 2". Plus still the question of a decent underframe and running gear too. . . . .? Indeed a Realtrack 144 underframes and running gear would at least offer modern running qualities and DCC control / lighting. Although a very common DMU for anyone modelling rail operations in Yorkshire & Humberside from 1984 to the late 1990s. Or Iranian Railways, or the Weardale Railway!

charliepetty Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Iranian Railways! Big seller there. I Can assure ALL of you out there, our to be 'Released' new model never ran in Iran, but might have got to Bradford though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactustwirly Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Has anyone changed the couplers on the 144? I have tried but they do not seem to go in the slot. Any help much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Hi, cactustwirly. I've changed them on my 144. I found that, with the 'BSI' dummy couplers being an 'impossible' fit, that I decided to pare off some of the plastic from the stem. This narrowed it a bit. If I remember correctly - I removed about no more than about 1mm all round - but that was before last Christmas! Anyway, the couplings then just nicely fitted into the slot. I hope that this might be of some help - as always, only remove a tiny bit at a time, it is much easier than trying to add it back! All the best, Market65.

charliepetty Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The are designed to be an 'interference fit', just tried four units here, and they all are a tight fit, but do go in. Removing a little plastic with a file would make them easier, but don't make them too loose. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
