Guest stuartp Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Gone and done a quick bit of research and its about getting a bike in Leeds to get to work after getting the train in. Clever idea. It's a bit more than that. Abellio, formerly Ned Rail, own half of Northern. Serco own the other half as Charlie's photo indicates.

Class 143 sheduled subject the Artwork from designers are: First Great Western 'Local Lines' livery. Arriva Trains Wales. Then after second batch of 144's we aim to do: Valley Lines. Wessex 'Visit Bristol' Livery. Regional Railways. If any demand we would consider a limited edition 'Tyne & Wear Metro' and Provincial liveries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 The Tyne and Wear and Provincial liveries are the ones im after for the class 143. As well as Regional railways. So Im hoping these are done, and not too much more expensive if they are a limited edition. the 144 in Northern pre 2011, and in WYPTE Red and Cream stipe Regional railways are what Im after too. Especially if the latter is in a 3 car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncy Bouncy Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'd definatley be interested in purchasing one, the model sounds simply fantastic, with far more additional details than my current models have, inpaticular i'd definatley be interested in 144-112 Class 144 in Standard Pre 2011 Northern Livery. I probably wouldn't purchase a 3 car as I struggle with 3 car 158's at the moment, although the coaches are smaller than a standard 158 coach IIRC? All I need now is a Northern 150, and i'm sorted!

A 3-car 144 is *very* similar in length to a 2-car 158. A 158 car is approximately 23m long and a 144 is approximatley 15m long. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium richierich Posted December 19, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2010 Most certainly would like a 3 car Class 144. How else can I model the York - Harrogate - Leeds services 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpxpress Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 And how could I model (Coming soon) the Man Vic-Leeds line (Does use 3 car pacers sometimes) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 The Rostas for 144's are mixed and do not generally fall on 3 car sets or 2 car sets, they are random. As far as I know the general rule is any 144 will run on any rosta. With certain exceptions as they are sponsored by West Yorkshire & South Yorkshire PTE's. So York can get them in any combination via Harrogate. They normally do not go to Manchester via Diggle or the Hope Valley. they avoid the Settle Jc to Carlisle line and do generally not go on the East Coast mainline north of the Harrogate line Junction. They seem to normally avoid the ECML South of Doncaster and get scared if the go farther East that Scunthorpe. The Leeds to Blackpool via Copy Pit run should not have them on the rosta but I know this rule is sometimes broken. Other than that they bounce about quite happily with there refurbished older Class 142 sisters, rumoured to be sponsored by Blackpool pleasure beaches 'RIDE OF YOUR LIFE' promotion! The refurbished sets on 142 & 144 all have new Chapman seating, interiors and interior lighting, mainly this only includes the Neville Hill based units, our model will have the Chapman Seating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 20, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2010 The Leeds to Blackpool via Copy Pit run should not have them on the rosta but I know this rule is sometimes broken. Indeed. When a 144 is unlucky enough to end up on the Blackpool run, it is usually well reported on one of the local "gen" groups. Which makes a 144 a prime candidate to increase the DMU fleet on Blackmill.......... Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks Arran. The Hornby 142 is not the best model in the world, but there you go!

I think we're long overdue a new 142. And there's plenty of liveries to go at so must make commercial sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
