I was thinking the same.

Make sure you dont have a high frequency track cleaning unit. Unlikely but I had to mention it.

It certainly did and I was there to see it. I even got in the cab. I then saw Liverpool beat Everton in the FA cup final later that day.

This Christmas?

I think the MKL is for larger scales.

I picked up some Spartans at Warley. I will have to add a few more. Once painted up they look great.

There should be an unbranded Railfreight one called Shades of Grey or as The Stationmaster would put it Shades of Grey.

I am not interested in a KR class 40. I might be after I see one but I am certainly not ordering one anytime soon. Therefore I will not be expressing an interest. KR models have made models of obscure prototypes but the class 40 is pretty mainstream and there is an existing model to a reasonable standard. This is not a case where "close enough" is "good enough" will work. The new model needs to be better than the existing class 40. There are several companies who could make a better model than the current Bachmann 40, including Bachmann themselves. I am not convinced KR models is one those companies. The new 40 will need extensive research and close attention to detail if it is to exceed the current model. Looking at the Fell and other KR models projects these attributes are not apparent. I also suspect an updated Bachmann 40 may already be in the works and judging by the improvement to the class 37, especially in the cab area, then if there is a new or improved Bachmann 40 then I fear KR models will lose out. Hoping to be proved wrong but suspecting I will not be.

and boost future sales of other Mk2s we have yet 2C 😀

You do kniow whose factory that was and who still have offices there?😀

The 50 is an expensive choice for me. :)

Yes, I do not think it captured the shape of the 31 well. Not to mention the lack of sub versions. On top of that the Mazak problems made people wary of them even though the later versions were unaffected. When it was announced that a new Accurascale model was coming guesses were generally a 31 or a 50. Now there is a 31 coming, the 50 has to be soon. If not today and if not Accurascale, there will be a new 50 soon. There is much lower hanging fruit than a 60. If this announcement is a diesel, odds-on it will be a 50 as it is far and away the most obvious choice. The 60 is not in the running. If it is a steam engine or an electric, than I have no idea.

Why do people keep suggesting a 60? There is not much wrong with the current one. Granted it could do with a DCC update in terms of lighting functions but the basic shape is spot on. As for the 50, where do I start? There is a lot that can be improved. I predict it is NOT a 60.

Accurascale announced the 37 in the week of Warley, just like this rather then at the show.

I said it before but it obviously going to be Steam Punk in TT OR Maybe Hornby will go completely mad and announce an 00 Steam engine. Don't laugh, as per Blackadder, doing what they have done the previous 18 times, is the last thing anyone will suspect.

Is the one that is upside down a Limpet? :)

Hi Brian Are there any plans for another poll? IT has been some time and many items on the last set of results have been announced and even released? I appreciate it is a lot of work for you and the team but always found them very interesting. Regards Eamon

From the experience of renumbering and changing details on some Accurascale wagons, the numbers come off pretty easily, with just a bit of rubbing from a cocktail stick. No chemicals were needed and no base colour came off. Nothing like Vitrains which were nearly impossible.

Another vote for a 3 car 116. A 120 or a three 3 car 205 would be good too.

I would love to see them produce a Class 59 in 00.

Are you sure they exist?

I wonder will Steam Punk TT be next?

It is a new item of Trolling Stock to be announced TToday.

All the existing range could be re-done in TT. What about a TT Pendolino from RevoluTTion?

I heard a rumour that KR models were doing one.
