Andy Y Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 I believe the very first ones are Hatton's products with the yellow peril following not too far behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Just a thought- brought on by Dave putting out livery samples on a CHP base.... Has the Cromford version got oval buffers and a bunker ladder? If not, is it too late to correct it? Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Hattons Dave Posted June 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2016 Just a thought- brought on by Dave putting out livery samples on a CHP base.... Has the Cromford version got oval buffers and a bunker ladder? If not, is it too late to correct it? Les Hi Les, I can confirm that 68012 will be receiving oval buffers but will be without its rear bunker ladder, which the loco ran without for the latter years of its Cromford life as portrayed by our release. 68006 retained its ladder until the end. A great comparison photo is available on Flickr HERE - not mine unfortunately (not until the time machine is invented anyway!) - 68006 is closest to camera with 68012 piloting. Jaf, regarding release date, we'll be able to confirm exact dates shortly but can confirm that these should be with us soon. Cheers, Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Many thanks. Looking forward to my 71515 arriving and looking to see if I'll be able to afford a second bite at the set... My Dapol Cromford J94 is currently in bits while I cut away enough of the tank weight to get a chip into it. I numbered it as 68034 but later saw a pic of that loco on Darlington's dead line waiting scrap. It still had an early logo and bunker number, while my very heavily weathered one had late crest and a bunker number (though it did have oval buffers and a tank ladder (which the real one still had on the dead line) - AND wooden cab shutters. When it returns to service it will have been metamorphosised with an RT Models Lambton cab.... All the very best Les I wonder if there is an aftermarket opportunity for 3D printed cab shutters. Cromford used them. Backworth N0.4 ran with one from time to time, and the Bachmann/Model Rail Deleval USA tank also appears in one photo with a wooden cab shutter. I made mine from the floor of a wagon kit I was scrapping at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rope runner Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Just been emailed by Hattons with a revised release date - now August 2016. Fingers crossed, but breathe not held... Paul A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I got my email yesterday as well for 71515. Given they are in production, and Dave reckoned the Hattons ones would likely be first down the line, add 7 weeks for shipping and you get August 4th. Sometime in August would be a safe guess barring more profitable cargo diverting the container ship en route.. Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Hattons Dave Posted August 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hi Guys We have produced a short video introducing our Austerity models. Take a look and let us know what you think. Cheers Dave 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted August 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2016 I like the video but like the real thing more. Robert turned up about 14.30 and was delivered with a smile from the man from Yodel. (Yes, honestly he was a cheerful and polite chap!) After carefully unpacking, fitting decoder and running in as instructed it's now running beautifully. As far as I am concerned it's a lovely model and I'm pleased with it so a big thank you to DJM and Hattons. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 A couple from me, looking rather pristine in its surroundings That it will be weathered at some stage is certain, just what livery it gains before that is in the balance. Only had time for a quick look so far but first impressions are of a lovely looking model, nicely finished and very nicely presented in its box. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted August 10, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've taken the plunge and ordered the Royal Engineer plain(ish) green one as I was looking for an industrial shunter for my new goods yard section. Looking forward to receiving it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matabiau Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I have just chipped my two examples, NCB black and NCB green. The black one works a treatalthough it doesn't like some of my tighter points (front wheels lift off the track) but I suspect it wasn't intended to work on tight radius curves. The green one won't budge. I can hear the motor trying to turn the wheels, they just wont budge. They have a small amount of play in them when pushed by hand so I doubt it's the coupling rods fouling, there must be a blocked cog somewhere. I just hope Hattons have a replacement left by the time it gets back to them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickbown20 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just got my Royal Engineer one, looks very nice, but has been some damage during delivery. The front handrail above the smoke box was loose in the box. Will be on its way back to Hattons for a replacement this afternoon. Very good service from them.
