It can easily handle 8 bogie coaches up a 1:100 incline. No wheel slip no struggling and smoooth. Cheers, David 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contacted Simon their UK agent and superb instructions that meant it was easy to avoid damage. Top support and straight back to Dad 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 13 hours ago, Butler Henderson said: Change of tender would open a whole lot of sales On the other hand, the original proposal was for two different tenders. One was abandoned due to lack of demand. If they did do the thing again, it would need a black wire instead of a red one behind the driving wheel. Very visible when admiring the spokes flickering past the slots in the splasher of the driving wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I was one who ordered the other tender version as I wanted it as it was running about in the 1970s/early '80s. Cancelled due to lack of demand. I did think about trying to get a kit tender. But thought trying to get it to match would be extremely difficult. If they did do more, how about one with the dome and filled in splashers as well? https://www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/4728954020/ As an aside, look at the pile of coal in the October 1985 photograph here. Many will say such things aren't authentic.... https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/6292-2/ Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday a second hand one (Mint condition) was sold in a couple of hours, I think for around £385. TTC is selling one for £499... I really would like one, but not at that price. So one vote in favour of a re-run! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted June 3, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2022 I would suspect that if there were to be a second run that the price would be approaching or even way past £300. I ordered 2 from the first run, the first was something like £179/199 as I ordered on day one, the second I ordered about 6 or 9 months later and the price had already risen to £200+. The project was started 7 years ago and production costs have risen substantially since then so any further run will reflect that. I remember talking to Rapido Bill at Warley and he described just how complex a model it was to make, so even if some costs have been amortised it would still be expensive. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have learned from an unimpeachable source that an unboxed one changed hands for £800 recently. At the end of the day, though, that’s only one sale and doesn’t necessarily translate into enough demand for a rerun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Two on Ebay recently, both sold for around £500.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaym481 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I spoke with one of the Rapido Canada guys at the Great British Train Show in Ontario last month. They are "working on it." I'm not sure what their agreement with Locomotion is, so a future release may be limited to other GNR numbers or fictional liveries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted June 5, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2022 Doesn’t look like the Stirling Single is available on their website, I assume the eBay one is old stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
