Well as I go on , and on , and on ..........................  really hope its my 313/314/315/507/508  but suspect from hints else where , unless its mischievous misdirection, that its going to be a kettle 

 

But I am hoping , I mean Ally Pally obvious place  to announce a 313

From the hints on Accurascale’s Facebook page, it’s a steam loco.  I was hoping for a 73/9, but we’ve got the rest of the year to wait for that.

I was going to suggest there should be something to distinguish between say steam and diesel/ old and modern annoucements, so those with an aversion to kettles or old stuff can keep our froth fresh and vice versa.....a 73/9 would be most excellent, a steam loco is meh for me.

I’ll put a tenner on the Saint…. But give you 2 to 1 on a Grange, evens on 8F…

 

Oh hang on is this just another version of this hilarious  board game?

I’m gonna say it’s something diesely given they posted pics of a NRN and gsm-r handset moulding on Twitter the other week with the quote ‘the loco isn’t announced yet’ 

 

class 58 would be nice but those are pre gsm-r iirc

I dont see an invitation to Cheshire fire service, and its not live from Wilmslow.*

 

So its not a an EMU or DMU.

 

*3 units have sacrificed themselves in Wilmslow (2x175 and a 323) in a month, plus another 175 in Crewe and a fifth (a 465 in the south).

 

So if its a naturally occurring fire device, my bets on big number repeats… MN, 8F, B5 with outsiders being a Saint, or perhaps following recent events with the 66… how about Andrew Barclays ?
