RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted June 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) How long will it be before Hornby and Dapol bring out models in this livery? I'm really hoping that Hornby bring out 023 or 027 or both next year. Surely these locos would be really good sellers.

alibuchan Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 How long will it be before Hornby and Dapol bring out models in this livery? It will he next year at the earliest for the N gauge one only because they have just released a new run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely these locos would be really good sellers. R3sprays and JDM Models had a few resprays done of 67023/027. R3sprays sold out theirs in about an hour at DEMU. JDM didn't last much longer on their website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 22, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2017 NMT is booked via my panel this evening/tomorrow morning.....you on it Jim ? Don't know where your panel is but no, not on the NMT on Friday Today was a 70 day, 70803 and 70813 crewe to bescot Crewe, lots of shunting around Bescot, after fuel, even more shunting around! Deposited 803 with 811, note the different logos 803 also has oddball sized numbers on one side following the repairs at Laira depot (even got a Laira depot sticker) Then it was 813 over to the other side of the yard to go on 6V46 And it was homeward bound for me, absolutely knackered, walked over 5 miles today and climbed up and down the locos a good 40 times to change points, couple up etc Something different tomorrow, yellow 'minion' 73/9s Derby to doncaster and back 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
