charliepetty Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Class 143 Unpainted Sample approved, painted ones shortly on the Class 143 Arriva TW thread, and then First GW. This livery is somewhat complicated, and after receiving some test shots we have 'suggested' modifications to correct some minor livery issues. Nearly there though!

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2014 Having seen the FGW livery test shots, I can fully appreciate Charlie's efforts to get it right. Cheers, Mick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I would like to see a good 91, not fussed about the coaches, though the DVT would also be a bonus. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCML100 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I am planning to buy a class 144 in northern rail livery and do not need to ask wether this model is good or not due to the feedback on realtrack 144s. I have to also add the customer service and replies by charlie at realtrack are very good. Something big companies dont offer. WELL DONE REALTRACK!

Norm81 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Just a quick question for Charlie - will any of the 143's have the early 3+2 bus style seating? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Not until we produce the earlier liveries. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
campaigner Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hi Charlie, I'd love to buy one of these excellent models but would prefer one in the original "metro" livery. Can I take it from your post above that these will be made available in due course? Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was apparently the first time that it had been out of Neville Hill depot since it returned from RVEL in Derby early in July. There were assorted personnel from Northern Rail and Porterbrook on board. I did ask if I could take a few photos inside but they weren't keen, unfortunately. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Is there any news of whats next in the Class 143/144 pipeline Charlie? There will probably be another two versions of the First Great Western 143, different destinations & running numbers. We are in the early stages of planning ahead, but be warned the prices keep going up, and up and up. The current 143-213 Devon Unit has run out almost, small number of 143-214 Bristol units left. The 143-211 Tom Jones & 143-212 in Arriva Trains Wales has about 150 in total and we will not be doing anymore. You have been warned. The Website will be altered shortly as we are building up from spares a batch of First Great Western for orders and Warley NEC. This is possible the last chance on the 143-213 & 143-214 units. The New unit is in the Cad Design stage, and if you ask we will not be telling you what it is. As we don't intend getting into the Dapol 121 / DJM 117 situation against larger more powerfull companies. (Also Class 71s & King Locomotives) It make no sense to 'Invite' compitition as the small guy will always loose.

cheesysmith Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Charlie, I hope your next model to be released is the early versions of the 144s. Also, what about the other members of the pacer family? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
