I hear the 1930s liveried version is imminent. Mine is on order from Steve at Grimey Times. Will become Laira's 5175. I'll post a photo when it arrives. That may be a few weeks away because it's looking like we may get to Cornwall after all. It will be a very different holiday, probably travelling overnight when it's quieter and keeping ourselves to ourselves in the Cornish countryside but after the last few months I'll gladly take that. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted June 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2020 If anyone is looking for photos of the new 61xx, Paul M-P has a review on his blog https://albionyard.wordpress.com/2020/06/21/Hornby-61xx-r3723-review/ Looks a very nice model, and will certainly be tempting my aim to avoid more RTR purchases (or at the very least wait for a comparison between it and the Dapol one) 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
