Looking good to me!  Do we have a rough ETA of when these are likely top hit the shops?

Thanks Dave for your reply

How and why have Heljan managed to paint a batch of loco's the wrong colour, it looks ridiculous when surrounded by other DRS examples

I like the loco, the detail and running is superb, but i'm going to have to repaint the blue on it, it looks daft.

 

I was considering the two Intermodel examples, but i'm not now. No doubt they're incorrect also.

 

Cheers

If you are considering RAILS 33025 & 33030 I would hurry up, I went into the shop to purchase them last week and they were down to single figures.  when they are gone they are gone!
 

I have my 3 locos separate away from my other DRS locos to its not as obvious then, but I have to say it really is a big cock up by Heljan!

Nope Heljan have got the shade wrong, its too light, they made the same mistake with RAILS 33025 and 33030.  Ironically I also have Heljan 33207 from a number of years ago and that shade of DRS Blue is correct and clashes with my 33025, 33029 and 33030 when I have them all together

My DRS 33029 has arrived today and when standing next to my other DRS locos (including Heljan DRS 33207 from many years ago), the shade of blue is clearly wrong so god knows what has gone on there.  Shade aside its a good loco!

Rails Of Sheffield email just received stating that HNRC 20314 is now in Stock.  Is that right?  Didnt think was due until July?

sorry was refering to the non sound versions from the London Transport Museum.  Have amended my original post.

Ref the London Transport Museum variants (non sound), as these are pre-orders, if i order now when will payment be taken off my card?  Instantly or when the models arrive and are despatched (ie July time)?

Hopefully payment isnt taken instantly.  Anyone confirm?

Hi folks, Andi Walshaw (of Cairnsroadworks) has kindly modelled, detailed, and weathered my two Heljan O Gauge 20's to represent Warrington/Wigan pairing 20016+20081 as they were in the last year that they worked on the North West Coal Circuit in 1992/1993.

I think he has done an excellent job!!!

what running numbers will these releases be?

according to the folk on Heljan stand at Warley December/January time. It looked good tho!!!
