rob D2 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ah , ok. Taking more RHTT in house. Attractive locos but therein lies the problem of modern ops , they are very specific in their use you can't just hang them off the front of any train.

As the 57/3s spread their wings you will se them on most engineers trains down south as well, eventually they will be common place on them but it will be a year or two until they are hauling a variety of trains for lots of companies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB 34067 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 OK this is odd because none of the big model shops have them in stock and say they won't have them till next month Cheers James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
