RMweb Premium Legend Posted March 30, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2015 Very nice.Cant wait for my LNER version to arrive,seems to be the least mentioned of the models. Hopefully that doesn't mean it's still a while away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Surprised no one commented on the 2 (1x green, 1x black) locos present on the NRM stand. With differing details as pointed out by the stand member). I'm not in the market for any, but a lovely model.

RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted March 30, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2015 Very nice.Cant wait for my LNER version to arrive,seems to be the least mentioned of the models. Hopefully that doesn't mean it's still a while away. There was one in the Bachmann display cabinet and I'm afraid to say I started licking the glass....... I have one on order.......just the one......at the moment...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted March 31, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2015 Seems everyone's got them to show bar the shop that commissioned it ?[/quoteI think it is obvious to all that their release is imminent and will be on the market very soon. The images above are of production samples and were released to the media by Locomotion Models. So your point is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spet0114 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Now that looks very tidily as it should. I can see an opening for an aftermarket part, in the form of a replacement straight conrod for those who promise not to whang it round tight corners... Or...we could just nip along to Locomotion after hours and bend the rods on the real one........ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeg Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have the LNER version on order and that GNR version is looking very tempting. It will be interesting to see how it compares with my DJH LNER (4444) version when it arrives. Mark in OZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted April 2, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2015 That GNR livery looks simply stunning. Any chance of picking a pre-ordered GNR livery version up at York show? Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I doubt it judging by Mrs Locomotion's previous remarks about the date for the green ones being unknown at present. I'll buy you a consolation cup of tea if I see you though Tony. Isn't she consorting with partner-firm Bachmann's former enemy in that picture anyway?

GNR Dave Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Unlikely. I spoke to Locomotion today. The only version currently available is the weathered British Railways livery. The GNR version will probably be next, but in a few weeks time. Probably on the same container as the missing LB&SCR E4s Edited April 2, 2015 by GNR Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted April 2, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2015 I got a bit giddy seeing Great Northern on the box in the photo without peering closely enough to see that what was in the box was black. Never mind, the giddiness has passed now and I am back in patience/waiting mode......... Balance paid and looking forward to it whenever it arrives.

RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted April 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2015 Typically, mine will be the last livery to arrive, as was the case with the 64xx and will be for the E4 (heritage line I'm building in the attic). Never mind, another few weeks won't matter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr.king Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) As has been drawn to my attention elsewhere, the press release refers to GNR GRESLEY Atlantics!?!?! H. A. Ivatt will be turning in his grave. If only it were true and they'd been slyly working on 279 in four-cylinder rebuilt form.

LocomotionatShildon Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 The first batch of 300 turned up this morning more are due next week. We have shipped in accordance with when the order was placed, as long as it's paid up. Not sure if they deliver on a Saturday so they should arrive Tuesday, with others following on all week. We are at york show this weekend so I won't get many more done now until Tuesday. We will get them posted as quickly as possible. All black weathered have been dispatched. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
