Or Lion, that would make a stunning display model!

[philiprporter]

In O gauge a sealed beam class 45 would seem a quick win to make the most of one of their better O gauge models. Updated Deltic perhaps? Had Dapol not announced it I would have also said TTA.

Better bl00dy not, it is the only scratchbuilt mainline diesel model I have that hasn't been done since I built it as a RTR or a Kit.

I won't bore you with the shunters I have made or the conversions, like a Deltic to DP2.

 

I am now stuck with modelling coaches and DMUs.

I've had three Heljan 26s over time and they've all run themselves to a stand and are virtually useless. They don't seem to pick up well after a while and even after cleaning the wheels they're never as good.

Well in O gauge we are going to get some re-runs of existing wagons, and some parcels stock, plus a treat for EE enthusiasts.

Huge list (congratulations)

 

The Hastings line gauge Class 33 is something I never expected to see  - wonderful.

 

Good news for Christmas.

 

.

[Phatbob]

Yay!  Original green Slim Jim.  That'll do nicely. (On the assumption that it has the original type exhaust and isn't just a relivery).

Nothing for me 

 

I just want the Cl117 that is taking ages to arrive.

The Slim Jim's have already been produced by Heljan, are the announced liveries examples ones that were never previously produced, also 33114 has had two production runs, I'd be interested in how the new one differs.

Ben Jones  ( in the virtual exhibition ) stated that the green Hastings line Class 33 will be new versions with the proper roof details.

 

HOORAY !

 

The more modern liveries will be the old model.

33101 and a Slim Jim for me….

[37114]

Huge list, 37/0 with cutaway buffer beam is a good call with plenty of potential. 

[russ p]

Glad to see reruns of the 35t tank and ballast hoppers . I was hanging on for the Oxford tanks but not sure if they will ever emerge now 

[D400]

A long shot but I wonder if 3371: BR General Grey 33108 could be changed to NOT have an headlight, as to the best of my knowledge Heljan have done several General Grey 33/1s with headlight but never without! 

 

Well you can but ask! 

 

Edit: Indeed my brief research suggest that 33108 never carried General Grey with a headlight, it gained Dutch in 1990 before gaining its headlight early 92.

Phew they are not doing "Hawk".

[woodenhead]

Interesting the 35 has come back under Heljan labelling with new features, does that mean no more Efe versions then?

No, but I expect KR will.

[adb968008]

Much of that list in OO was already known ?

the 07/14/17/25 I believe were previously announced, should I take the list above to be the plan for 2022 (and 02/45/47/104 push to 2023 - I could totally understand why if it was the case) ?

i’m also assuming the 86’s werent mentioned as they are pretty much here.

 

not a complaint, just understanding / planning my years budget.

Good to hear the Class 14 is being sorted …. Chassis was the weak point of an otherwise good model. Hope there will be room for chip and a decent speaker please.

I hope not. I want one loco where I can say I did the research, I designed the method of construction and I built it, which is not available over the internet at discount prices for all. I know this sounds selfish, and yes it is . It is not elitist, I am far from that. From my point of view it has taken a lot of the fun I use to have making something different out of the hobby because everyone has "something " different out of a box.

Yes Huw, they will wait until yours is in the paint shop to announce one!

That's OK then.

 

I don't have a paint shop.

 

Even if I did, I could imagine my abomination model having the sort of finish most people here would probably be able to get using a broom.

 

Saying that, I'm sure that some people would say this can't possibly be true.

 

My standards aren't that high.

 

 

Huw.

[GEARJAMMER]

Instead of doing 33208 in 'Railtour' Dutch (whatever that is, its the railtour bit im confused with) im wondering if doing it in BR Green with headlight as per its preserved mainline operating days might produce more sales???

 

Not that it matters, if its in Dutch i'll buy it anyway!
