davebem Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The renders look great, I thought the Hornby 60 (even with its 223.99 rrp) had been part of the 'untouchables' but it goes to show another superior model can come along.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2023 I would have liked to see one of the unbranded triple grey locos (of which there were quite a few in the late 90s / 2000s), as this would have been perfect not only for modelling locos in that condition but as a perfect candidate for renumbering to other sectors / Transrail / Loadhaul / Mainline / EWS large logo. Hopefully one for the next batch! Finger is currently itching over 60059 seeing as I have yet to weather my renumbered Hornby model of this loco which has the logo in the wrong place on one side making it the perfect candidate for an upgrade.... I have always liked my Hornby 60s, but I think looking at the CAD this will be another of those where once I've seen the more accurate model I am going to struggle to live with what I have. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-East Rail Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Excellent news! I only ask that we get 60081 'Isambard Kingdom Brunel' at some point. Ed 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The announced liveries are the general release for batch 1. There is still time for potential retailer exclusives to be factored in should anyone wish to take them up at this point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I think that model is good enough for me. I've been waiting for that to happen with the Bachmann Deltic, but selling prices haven't changed much over the last year.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) DCR class 60 would be nice, 60029 specifically would be very nice. Revolutions bringing us the wagons..and Ive already listed them the numbers in this rake to make it accurate...

darrel Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I saw the email and thought I'm not going to buy one unless they do 60059 in Loadhaul livery. DOH! Take my money. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrains29 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I didn't expect a new 60 would be announced. It looks great! The Hornby 60 is still an excellent model and I don't see many people parting with theirs. I'll certainly be keeping all mine but hopefully adding some superior Cavalex ones in the future. Hornby will need to drop their prices to shift theirs. It's a shame the only Scottish named one in this batch has already been done by Hornby. Hopefully batch 2 will have more Scottish named ones that haven't been done by Hornby. A Mainline blue Ailsa Craig would be nice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, An excellent choice by Cav and Alex to take on the 60. It’s a loco I’ve always liked from when they first appeared. I thought I was quite happy with my Hornby ones until I was shared the renders and photos of the 3D print which I will get a proper look at in Glasgow. Knowing how far Cav can push the cad designs this will be an exceptionally good model and as Alex said in the video it really captures the cab shape well. I will certainly be adding a few of these to my own collection. We are fortunate to be a Cavalex stockist and the full range are available to pre-order now from us with just a £30 deposit to secure the 60 of your choice. You can order any variant and just pop a note if you want sound fitted at this stage. I’m sure the price will be very competitive as with the 56. https://rainbowrailways.co.uk/ All the best Mark Edited February 22, 2023 by MRDBLUE17 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Fantastic news, I've been deliberately holding back on the alternative model in expectation of one of the newcomers bringing out a competing model so I'll be up for a couple with noise. The spec looks superb and the news it is nearly in tooling is brilliant. MI5 would be impressed with that level of secrecy. "They" might have snatched the 91 but you are now 2-1 up in the game, loco wise. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Very tempting, and I am a 7mm modeller. Despite apparent rarity I've seen, and photographed, 3 in 5 minutes here in York. And often to be seen when having a pint at The Tap on York station. The nicest published photo I have is the frontispiece of David Monk-Steel's MGR book for the HMRS. So colourful, so varied even about 25 years ago https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/class60/ee6c1b074 Paul https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/class60 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Super announcement ! 22 Years ago I purchased the below to renumber a 60007 to my fav 60059, and , er, haven’t quite got round to it yet. Maybe this will save me the bother ?? ;) 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2023 Excellent news. 👍 Here's GBRf 60087, when fresh from its repaint, at Colne Bridge on 18th July 2021 working 6M51, Doncaster Down Decoy to Liverpool Biomass Terminal, empty biomass hoppers. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2023 Looks like Scafell will be joining my Hornby Helvelyn as soon as I can get one. I tend not to worry about eras these days. If I like a loco I buy it (funds allowing). This loco looks right up there with the very high standards that are expected these days. Would love 60081 IKB, but I expect Hornby to put that one out now that Cavalex have thrown their hat into the CL 60 ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium scissors Posted February 22, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2023 Excellent news. I've been temped by Hornby's version for a few years now but always hoped a better version would come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6M51 working, which is Sundays Only and runs from Doncaster Down Decoy rather than direct from Drax Power Station, is frequently used by GBRf to cycle locomotives from maintenance onto the biomass circuit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
