Lacathedrale Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Lovely - I did preorder a Goods Green loco from Hattons but would happily cancel that in favour of a Lined Black version. What's the website? Rapido or 'UK Train Times' ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally planning on ordering 2151 SR black, but may have to reconsider! I have seen the recent colour CAD of 2151…do you know how the LBSCR black livery will differ? Red lining I presume?

It'll be LBSCR Goods Black, which is overall black 'LBSC' on the tanks and lined out in Double Red Lining Like this E1 from Plumpton Green. What I am trying to figure out is if I can afford another E1! I've got my eye on Marsh Umber... Kind Regards, Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Gary says, hopefully just like the one on Plumpton Green, but I haven't had any artwork mock ups from Rapido yet. Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thanks. Are you expecting to receive any mock-ups and are there timelines on when we can expect them? Can’t seem to find anything on the retailer or Rapido websites.

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted June 6, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2023 Currently all the info I have is on the thread here, we are in the hands of Rapido for any more details, but I will be sure to share anything I receive here as soon as I can.

RMweb Premium RapidoCorbs Posted June 7, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 7, 2023 Once the technical aspects are dealt with, we should be able to export the CAD files to draw pretty colours on to :) 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted September 22, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2023 Unfortunately take up on these was very low, leading us to have to cancel our involvement Gary Train Times Model Shop https://www.traintimesmodelshop.co.uk/blogs/news/train-times-announces-cancellation-of-our-exclusive-rapido-trains-uk-lb-scr-e1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium stephennicholson Posted September 24, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2023 Very disappointed to hear this about 113, as if understand the livery history correctly it was the only model on offer correct for 1918. So either a repaint of another version required or some one to tell me that I have my history wrong! I assume I will be hearing directly from Traintimes about my order and the return of my deposit.

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted September 24, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2023 Hi Stephen, Yes, we are very disappointed too, we had been very excited about this project. I believe you are correct about 113 being the only engine correct for 1918, it was also the only engine correct for my under construction exhibition layout, so I will also be repainting another version at some point. We will be contacting everyone this coming week to arrange return of deposits paid. Gary 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainwright1 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 That is a great shame. I had the New Cross Locomotive Depot version on order. New Cross is about 15 minutes up the road from where I live. All the best Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
