Shoey Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 If there’s more EWS tugs in the pipeline this is one that I’d absolutely HAVE to have! A nice little touch for me is the petroleum stickers it acquired at some stage in its life. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wagon behind the loco is a warwell with a Bedford 4 tonner on it, canvas removed and frame lowered - nice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoey Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Just wondering whether the buffers will be painted as per the photo I have attached? I tried to paint the ‘white’ border on the Hornby (sorry for swearing) model but was beyond my painting skills! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, that’s great. I’m sorry if it seems I’m bombarding this thread with endless images of class 60’s but it’s a favourite class of mine. Your previous reply @RBE gives a perfect opportunity for me to post this next picture as previous offerings we’ve had, have had (how shall I put this?) little niggles/discrepancies - main one for me on this particular livery is the blue colour of the wording on the side is incorrect from the red box offering compared to what is pictured below on the real tug! So again, would love to see this in future batches announced 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more importantly, will the Cavalex Tug feature randomly wonky buffers, something Hornby seems to have down pat with their Brush 5.

Popular Post Grimleygrid Posted April 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2023 CAVALEX CLASS 60 UPDATE - PRICE RELEASE Cavalex are pleased to report that the Class 60 project has been progressing nicely in the tooling stage to a point where we are confident, we can release the price of the loco without changing it further into the project - with the DCC Ready RRP price being set at £194.95. The price of the DCC sound fitted versions will be £294.95. Following the past few months of hard work to get to the project to this stage in the process, we are very excited to receive the first shots out of the moulds and will provide a full update on the project once these have been received. We would like to thank all of our customers and followers for their overwhelmingly positive reaction to the project so far. The Cavalex 60 can be pre-ordered from all of our retailers listed below: Collett’s Models - https://www.collettsmodelshop.co.uk C&M Models - https://candmmodels.co.uk John Dutfield - https://www.johndutfieldmodelrailways.co.uk KMS Railtech - https://www.kmsrailtech.co.uk Rails of Sheffield - https://railsofsheffield.com Rainbow Railways - https://rainbowrailways.co.uk Trains4U - http://www.trains4u.com Ultimate Model Railways - https://ultimatemodelrailways.com TTC Diecast - https://www.ttcdiecast.com Cheltenham Model Centre - https://cheltenhammodelcentre.com 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 That really is an outstandingly generous price for what is going to be the next benchmark OO locomotive after your Cl. 56. The pedantic attention to detail, whilst offering a great price, is truly noteworthy of admiration from me! I have always been rather on the fence in terms of interest in the Cl. 60, even though I have had some great experiences with them at Toton. Still, a Cappagh one is essential for anyone who likes stone trains and with the new level of detail you are bringing to the hobby, the Cappagh one is what I am getting! Look forward to further progress! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugs Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Given what the other guys are charging for 20+ year old tooling, this is an absolute bargain... (makes it all the more sad that the Class 91 and Mk4s were assassinated too :( ) My first of probably many orders is in with Trains4U, now the waiting begins... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoey Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Went ahead and ordered 60010, 028 & 087 all with sound today via Rails of Sheffield 😅 contemplating 059 in loadhaul - just because I like the livery. Plus it’d look great all weathered up hauling a number of different rakes of wagons I have…. That’s a good enough excuse right? 🙈😄 Decorated examples can’t come quick enough! (Though the way this year is going they’ll soon be here) 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 As far as I know the Mendip trains are still the heaviest in the country, 4,500 t with a single 59 up front. Amazing to think 3,000t is commonplace across the country, amazing what Railfreight can deliver. Jo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we think how smooth they are on cars these days why is on such an expensive loco this terrible thing in front of the windscreen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2023 Wipers are air driven in most locos and units, they can be quite useless and noisy at times! the heaviest trains I’ve worked with 60s were oil trains which were up to about 4000 ton, used to shift that without breaking a sweat really! 5 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishRail60062 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Having recently ventured back into OO gauge after over a year in N scale and HO scale American model trains. I am going to get at least two of these new Class 60's but I cover BR era so I will likely get the Triple Grey ones. I hope that in the future there will be a 60008 "Moel Fammau" model in Triple Grey as I had that one many years ago and the real thing used to stalk me in the 1990's when I was out on trips as I would always see it on steel or oil trains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
