NXEA!

These look really good and will be as popular as the Genesis coaches I expect. I won’t be buying from the first run, but should they do post-war plain LNER/Stratford brown in future, I will definitely have a pair. Look forward to seeing how this develops.

Didn’t get round to ringing in the end, but I got my invoice through this afternoon so all good, look forward to receiving mine.

Nice, I’ll have one or two of these for my East Anglian layout. Cheers Rapido!

Not for me personally, but can see this absolutely flying off the shelves, hope it’s a nice earner for Rapido. Think someone predicted an Ivor set in the froth thread, did they not?!

No mention of the lighting bars, which is what I’m waiting on for my LNER pair. I’ll give them a ring in the morning and report back for anyone interested.

They look excellent, really whetting the appetite. I spy a green machine next to them, did you get any photos of those by any chance?

The 175’s will replace the HST’s, cascade the 80x units used on regional services back to routes out of London and provide some extra capacity. The 150’s are going nowhere as it stands and will remain working off Exeter and on the Cornish branches.

They’ve announced an N gauge Class 45/46. Not for me, but bet there will be some pleased N gauge modellers!

Will D5549 be available again to pre-order at some point direct from A/S, similar to the Blue ones? I have a preorder with another retailer but wouldn’t mind switching to take advantage of the A/S points. No worries if not, just thought I’d ask. 🙂

I’d rather your guess of the E4 was correct than my Marcia guess!

My two guesses are: • Marcia, for obvious reasons. • Licenced Dad’s Army set (we had a heavy hint a few months ago) with Colwyn and a GER 50ft corridor, with other GER 50ft corridors and Kitson Saddle Tanks to be offered separately, similar to how Rapido did the Titfield set and offered the real tram cars separately.

No issues here, apologies likewise for any misunderstanding on my part.

Or perhaps if someone has a good relationship with Danny or has his phone number (I’ve only ever seen a postal address) and is going to speak to him anyway it saves inundating him with the same questions? Not sure why you felt the need to post that.

I’d second that, if we could have confirmation that DS119-121 are available to order I’d definitely be interested in one of each.

Also if any of the Heljan team are reading this, I would love an Anglian unit in the second run please - any of Reggie Rail with names in the privatisation era, Anglia Railways, ‘One’, Greater Anglia white or 153314 in advertising livery would be welcomed!
