frobisher Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Current livery all singing all dancing model reserved. Now I suppose I'd better actually get my other railway stuff out of storage... Oh, and I'd better actually prep some layout space in the house... Oh, and buy some 00 infrastructure as I'm a N gauge modeller really... [Shut up head, heart is at the wheel of the wallet...] Still, shiny new Badger! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just pre-ordered the Intercity Executive version, and I dropped in the notes for the order that I would like P4 wheelsets, but I'll state it here as well.

RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted July 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 1, 2022 Oooooo, decisions decisions. I really want one of these, but can’t really justify the spend on two. So GNER with gold letters, or as preserved Swallow livery? Ahhhhh, can’t decide! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matabiau Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Undercoat yellow looks pretty authentic to me! A big thank you to Accurascale and Rails for going ahead with the 89 which has been at the top of my wish list for years. I remember it being something of a legend as a child growing up in the 1980s in the southwest of England, far from any knitting at the time. Perhaps with the Great Western Mainline being electrified now it could make it's first ever trip to the region. I finally saw it hidden at the back of Bound's Green Depot, out of service, in the late 80s. A bit of advice to all of those in Euroland, the 89s are available direct from Accurascale (EIRE) and can be paid for in Euros, thus avoiding currency conversion charges and customs fees. I found this out having already pre-ordered from Rails. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted July 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2022 (All pics taken by me.) Was really tempted to recreate this..... But do like this..... Even with the wonky cab steps ! But eventually decided on this version..... I guess that's the original paint under where the light covers have been removed ?..... Happy that an icon of my spotting days is being produced to such a detailed level, even though it fits in with no era or area that I model, I couldn't resist owning the sight (and sound) of such a beast.....😍 Cheers, Phil. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
