7802 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Makes sense, just bought a kit for one from eBay a couple of months back. Oh well will save some effort. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted June 1, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2023 The 'Scotrail' livery will be the one for me I think or the plain blue and grey depending on what the text says in the bottom left. That being said, I'll probably wait until these are released to decide (or very encouraging high quality samples) and if I miss it so be it. Seems fair compared to say Revolution's Caroline but would have been nice to have the 18 pin decoder thrown in for the price. I'm also surprised they aren't doing a sound fitted version considering the recent Autocoach announcement. A lot are preserved and well travelled, so a great addition to many layouts. If anyone has the story of these in Scotland that would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted June 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2023 I can see why; it's a good choice, and quite pretty, to boot. I can visualise a 48xx (or pannier) tootling around the system. It's not normally for me; after all, it's about as rare as a Gibbons Blue Backside on the system. That said, it'll probably sell very well, and why not? As a bit of a footnote, there is a ex-Western saloon on the Pontypool & Blaenavon railway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 This has me thinking about curtains. I’m not very impressed by printed curtains which all look the same. Realistic curtains will all be folded slightly differently. I notice that these will be moulded, so should look 3D. That’s progress but I hope the curtains don’t all have identical folds. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually something a bit bigger than a small tank engine for fuel purposes. Ivatt and BR Standard 2MT 2-6-0s seemed popular in BR days. Possibly due to the tender cab when running in reverse.

SteamingWales Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Already seeing complaints about price on social media 🤦 I was a bit taken a back at first myself but then looked at the price of the Rapido Dynamometer car and it is only £10 more. Plenty time to save up as they are at least a year off yet I think I will put in a preorder for the WR Choc & Cream version 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted June 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2023 Had a day out with the Newport saloon in the 70s, great fun, using a 37. Traincrew were included in the catering, by the saloon’s own steward. Braised liver in a red wine and mushroom sauce with colcannon spuds and a lemon sorbet for afters, washed down by a bottle of IPA, all silver service on bone china willow pattern of course; not bad at all! And I got a chance to play with the autotrailer-type retractable steps… A sensible choice, exhibition layouts will feature them as standard issue, the collectors will be happy, and I can see them being used as mantlepiece ornaments as well. A coach too far for me, but Dap and Rails should do well out of them. Liking the open sliding ventilators, nice touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty time to save up as they are at least a year off yet I think I will put in a preorder for the WR Choc & Cream version Savvy move by Rails (who know what sells) and Dapol (who don’t have to guess the size of the potential market). I imagine the production run will be relatively small hence the profit is in premium pricing for a high quality niche product. If they sell out on preorder Rails will already have the intel to inform a possible second run. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted June 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2023 Does anyone know when 80976 was repainted into choc/cream? I've got a pic of it at Doncaster in that livery in 1980 but need a model in late 60's/early 70's livery. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndg910 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I can just about justify one on the basis I have a 94xx and venerable Dapol County that dont quite fit my late 30s/early 40s time period either. I was hoping for the whitewash car or GWR Dynamometer car but very happy with this. Now where is that wishlist gone? - Aberdare, 1101 class dock tank, Toplights, Super Saloons......
