  1. Let's hope they arrive in the shops soon so we can have good look. I was told they are due 'imminently' but that was 3 weeks ago, not sure how long it takes to get by ship from China though?

     

    Hornbys class 20 with TTS was imminent when Hornby mag reviewed it back in feb. Still not here so they must be on the ship  a while

  2. Hornby Mag has put up a video of the new class 20 with TTS sound.

     

    Very promising and sound is on par, if not better than the Bachmann class 20

     

    The mechanisom loos better than the other TTS diesels I have, especially with a diecast chassis

  3. Has anyone used the sound fitting service for £25?

     

    Im calling in at the weekend to get a class 24 sound chip and may as well take advantage of the service.

     

    Has anyone had a Class 08 sound fitted by them? Seems pretty tricky :)

  4. They're so hard to come by I went out for a couple of pots of paint this afternoon and ended up adopting another unclaimed Peckett. It may just be a temporary foster situation though if Old Gringo decides he really wants it (as I told him the other night they hadn't got any more so a small pang of guilt overtook me).

     

    I was in top trains this afternoon and theres a HP peckett in stock there

  5. Pleased to see a TTS 08 decoder. If these sound ok i think a fair few of them will find there way into Bachmann / Dapol 08s

     

    Also on my shopping list will be the Class 31 and 37 both with TTS Sound.

     

    That £600 train set is insane, shame they used mallard in 2 sets they couldve picked a different A4 for one of the sets

  6. Dapol had the 08s on free sale today ( and tomorrow ) at the alsager railway exhibition in crewe. They had both blue versions ( black cab roofs ), the black version on sale for £199.00

     

    They also had the collectors club version, which I heard them tell someone that if they join the club for £25 they get the collectors club 08 for £145, so £170 total.

  7. Wonder if the 08 will become a classic Dapol collectible, just like this little fellal?

    Who knows - Dapol may be getting Richard Webster to design a range of

    "ANOTHER FAMOUS RMWEB MEMBER from Dapol"
