Southernman46 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The partial payment system is a blessing - have been quietly paying instalments (which are affordable each month) and now am looking forward to receiving an 89, 66, 50 x 2 & 6 x Mk.1 Sub's without needing to pay a cent more and am well on the way to 3 x 31's. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea - was merely stating what a great idea the stage payment system is and because of that when they ARE available I've already finished paying for them. Similarly the 31's will be paid for by the time they emerge. Avoids a huge one lump Credit card bill. Means I have a bit of headroom for impulse purchases - like another 47, weathered 20 or EFE 58. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrakeCoach Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Perhaps they are getting the payment through since they finally got the factory production slot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No payments were taken or scheduled as yet and, again, are not due until the locos are in stock. hope that helps. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruachan Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) 25 minutes ago, GordonC said: Pretty much one of each ... Hornby released a rake Though as I understand it, Hornby have only released newly tooled GNER mark 4s in the red door, post-Mallard refurb livery, which the class 89 never worked with. Some repainting would be required. I don't think it would be possible to assemble a complete, correctly liveried, rake from the original tooled mark 4s, as Hornby never produced the TOE vehicle adjacent to the class 91 with that tooling, for example.

There are (or at least were) conversion parts available, from Keen Systems I believe. I would rather hack about an older Mk4 but their basic shape looks ok so they can be updated quite well with some detailing. The new Mk4 tooling may well in time be re-used for different liveries. This is not as likely for the 89 because Accurascale are doing all variations of it in 1 batch, so it may be a case of buying it while you can. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meerkat Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 what would LSL run the 89 with, mk3 and mk3 dvt or have they got their own mk4 set, did badger run with a dvt or was it a run round at each end of the line? i plan to run mine as present day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend and myself decided to cover the 89 on it's diagrammed working at that time. The 17xx Kings Cross - Peterborough. We chose to drive over to Peterborough, caught a 317 to Huntingdon, then did the 89 back to Peterborough. It was a loco hauled set of stock which contained a Mk1 BG at one end. Can't recall if the coaches were Mk1s or Mk2s though. There were of course two periods of operation for the "badger" on the ECML, and this refers to the first period. IIRC the ECML became a "blue operation" during the "badger's" 2nd period of mainline operation, and I guess it was all Mk4 "push pull" sets by then 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In GNER days it operated in push-pull mode with mark 4 sets, but as noted above during its initial period of BR operation it often operated conventionally with a more varied range of stock on the likes of the Peterborough commuter turn.

zoomer1979 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I wonder if any of the buffered HSTs are available for use by LSL so that an HST coach rake can be used 🤔 Neil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would also be able to get away with intercity liveried mk4s with the 89 in GNER livery.

I’ve done two rakes of mk4s and it’s a marked improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
