DJM Dave Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Ah, so it's Heljan who got Sarah Siddons. I knew one of the others had got it as I tried to get one done for the celebrations but was told 'sorry it's earmarked'. I'll be having one of these for my display cabinet, that's for sure. :-))) Can't announce them at Warley, we already know :-) Apart from what I'm thinking is the 33 ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapford34102 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 'OO' gauge GWR/BR '1366' 0-6-0PT Excellent :-) Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 1) 'OO' gauge GWR/BR '1366' 0-6-0PT A 1361 0-6-0ST would be much better. I could actually make use of one in original condition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2013 Excellent :-) Stu That's my DJH version redundant then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2013 A 1361 0-6-0ST would be much better. I could actually make use of one in original condition I miss read it and got all excited about being able to convert one to the 3161s predecessor, before rereading and seeing its a 1366Will still be tempted if they do it right, and the price is right for the model sold Based on heljans previous efforts (hymek excluded) I certainly won't be preordering!

Andy M Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 That's my DJH version redundant then. No need to make that redundant Rob, she's a little beauty! Kit over RTR any day of the week. A 1361 would have been nice though (we are never happy are we!). Regards, Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy.I have no experience of the Heljan models.Can I expect slow running on this model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 12, 2013 The Met/LT Bo-Bo is a cracking release, fantastic!! Along with the Bullied diesels it is one of those odd ball ideas for a RTR model that I'd always hoped we'd see but never imagined anybody doing either. For all the doom and gloom on forums about the supposed crises in UK RTR models we're still seeing some adventurous releases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks Andi! Interestingly Cider Queen and D2578 are one and the same. This loco managed to escape from Bulmers early in its preserved life up the main line to Moreton on Lugg with some brake vans....see http://www.beerandrail.com/d2578lg_05.htm Will the Cider Queen version have the copper capped chimney I wonder? Phil Edited to correct my scurrilous suggestion that this was an unofficial trip - the loco was main line registered! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy M Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks Andy.I have no experience of the Heljan models.Can I expect slow running on this model. To be honest Rob I only have a couple of Heljan products myself, but their running qualities are very smooth. I don't see why this 1366 should be any different, 60/1 gearing should do the trick. Anyway……..they were not noted for their appearances at Brent, so why would you need two? Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil gollin Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 . I would have preferred the 1361 Saddle Tank rather than the Pannier tank, but as I never really expected either I should shut up and just be grateful. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2013 Much as the detail can be rather hit or miss Every Heljan loco I've had has been an excellent runner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 12, 2013 I was looking forward to a small cabbed ER (laterLMR) Hunslet 204hp 0-6-0 but it is going to be a ScR or NER loco. Will have to carry on using my scratchbuilt one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As long as they get it 'right' (unlike the Class 86), I'm very much looking forward to the Metvic! WOW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Smith Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 There, and I scratch built one from styrene - oh well. Hope the new one can be converted to P4..... No wonder Radley discontinued them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Smith Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Will the surprise loco be the 009 Lynton and Barnstable to go with the Peco rolling stock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the doom and gloom on forums about the supposed crises in UK RTR models we're still seeing some adventurous releases. Well it's been done before, but as the last RTR version (from Hornby) came out in 1925, was O gauge, only had four wheels and only came in either clockwork or mains electricity versions, the market is probably ready for a retooled version....

lapford34102 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Add another one. Hope they make a better job of the couplings. Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Great to see a Metropolitan Electric Loco as has already being mentioned it should have been produced this year for LU 150. However now there is scope at least one additional one for me XF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Oh and 1 other thing about Sarah Siddons was that rumour control intimated it was for the Blue team, not the Danes, so who knows what might happen there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy M Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Add another one. Hope they make a better job of the couplings. Stu Will you guys pack it in. I'm going to end up needing one of these at this rate! Thats gorgeous Stu by the way. Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Are 'rumour control' and 'market leading innovative thought processes' related?I think we should be told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
