martin_l_jones Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It looks very nice, I wished they'd brought out the Corus one as it's a bit brighter but that is one of the latest repaints on the Class. Have they done anything with the couplers ? Does your's still lock over and derail the wagon ? I have collected quite a few 60's but that issue has put's me off buying any more...

RMweb Premium richierich Posted August 17, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17, 2012 I like this model a lot, but the price is a bit too "rich" for me unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john beckett Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I picked mine up last week from a model shop in north Devon when we were on hoilday. Very nice model but yes 125 pound is getting a little out of my price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice model but yes 125 pound is getting a little out of my price range. £125 is a fairly reasonble price compared to the £149.99 at Modelzone. http://www.modelzone.co.uk/model-railways/locomotives/Hornby-db-schenker-co-co-diesel-electric-tata-steel-class-60.html (For those of us who live in Zones 1 and 2.)

Lochnagar Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Modelzone is great for limited editions and discounted items as they're often really cheap. But I'd never go and buy a new release from them as you'd be looking at RRP. Far better to wait and pick one up at a show etc at a discount price.

john beckett Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Can I ask how you get past this mass of glue to get lights in the cab. All my 60s seem to have a mass of glue holding the cabs in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account 2 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Can I ask how you get past this mass of glue to get lights in the cab. All my 60s seem to have a mass of glue holding the cabs in place. Instead of trying to get the cabs off why don't you try n drill just a small hole which could even hold the bulb in place!! You can make a hole at the back just below the roof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john beckett Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks for that but if I was going to put lights in the cab I would also put a driving figure in to. But I my just try the light the way you said. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account 2 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Welcome even I'm trying that out so I thought of telling you of the same! I am not adding a driver though as I use my Mainline 60 in both directions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gridwatcher Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 £125 for arguably the best RTR diesel model is still cheap. Go and try modelling anything European and you will see what I mean. The only quality that gets near this is US outline and they are knocking on this sort of price for the high end models now. You also need to take into account that US production runs are MUCH bigger.

You also need to take into account that US production runs are MUCH bigger. Quite true!! European models mostly start off at 175 quid or more! I was shocked to learn that one of the Arnold models was 210 quid while Dapol's locos could be bought at 85 in a mint condition. Roco's model locos start at 200= Euros for a base line model and the pris jus keeps rising for DCC fitted and then Sound fitted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47423 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 In view of the 67`s having QC issues, has there been any problems with the Tata Tug ? Along with 47710 this is the next thing on my shopping list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47423 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Picked one up from my local model shop today, same packaging as the other 60`s. Wonder if it is made in another factory to the ill fated 67`s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
