G-BOAF Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Are these models 'as currently preserved', or is that the version from Rails? Or have I got my wires crossed and neither releases are in current condition? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have I got my wires crossed and neither releases are in current condition? I think you'll find the model is in 1970's condition (both Rails and Locomotion models are exactly the same, I believe). The model's overhead warning symbols are a red lightning strike on a white background and 252001 is on the front. In preservation, it has the modern black and yellow version of the overhead warning symbols, presumably to conform to modern safety standards, especially if it ventures out and about. As far as I can remember seeing the real thing in preservation, it also lacks the 252001 number on the front, even after a search online for more recent images. I hope they also do 41002, though can't help but feel after this release there will be a twin pack of both and possibly a second pack with the departmental yellow wraparound ends to further enhance sales. It would be superb if the Mk3s were also commissioned, and perhaps the substituting Mk1 used in the early days, to make up typical sets (aside from any compromises), which I am sure would enhance sales at least a bit. That said, I am sure it will also sell well even as a one off, especially by visitors to the NRM as an iconic replica of a historically significant power car to take home. Looking forward to this one... I have already got the N-gauge set! Cheers, Ixion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_mcfarlane Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Aren't the grilles slightly different between the two? In a way that 10 years ago wouldn't have mattered to a RTR manufacturer.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
