I was in the Musem shop yesterday and both 4 car sets and all of the additional cars currently have a 10% discount

Both of the S-Stock models are currently reduced from £340 to £306 for Black Friday

I received  both of my confirmation emails today so I should hopefully have the models by the end of the week. I ordered Sir Peter Hendy on 04/01/2016 and Harry Beck on 21/03/2016

Just got confirmation that both are waiting for me when I get home from work today. Can't wait!

Also got the call today. The lady on the phone said the locos are due to be sent out next week.

hopefully when the locos are delivered people will focus more on the locos rather than grumbling about the prices and the museum.

Did anyone get the opportunity to order Harry Beck the other night ?

I was lucky enough to do so when they reopened orders for a day in march. I had already ordered the peter hendy one when they first went on sale. The gap of a few months definitelty eased the pain slightly of forking out for these

Both pre-orders closed again. They either had only a small number of extra locos available to pre-order or the opportunity to pre-order was opened by mistake

Pre-orders open again for Harry Beck (but not the other one)

Delighted! managed to preorder the Peter Hendy Loco the first time round but not the Harry Beck. The couple of months space between the two payments has definitely helped though

Was in the LTM today to buy a couple of s-stock cars and took a couple of photos of the prototypes while i was there.

Love both of these models. Saw them for a long time on Olivias trains but never thought of buying but now they are being commissioned by LTM i've preordered the Sir Peter Hendy and will wait for the Beck one to come back in stock.

I bought the S-Stock model a few months ago and was really impressed by it. Just need LTM and Bachmann to commission the class 378 Overground stock and i'll be happy. Having staff discount though does definitely help with these pricey purchases

For me this announcement is brilliant. I pre-ordered it as soon as I saw it on the LTM website

The layout i am currently building is loosely based around the Watford Junction WCML area with a few other locos in there too. With the croxley rail link meaning that in a few years the s-stock trains will be diverted to Watford Junction from the old terminus in watford it means this unit is perfect for me. All i need now is TfL and Bachmann to commission the Overground class 378 and i will be delighted.

I am only ordering the 4 car set as the longest train on my layout is the caledonian sleeper with 6 carriages with my pendolinos only having 6 cars as well as only running my 350s as 4 car units

Happy days.  I've sat here patiently through years of announcements that meant nothing to me.  I'd written this latest announcement off as well, but you always check though... just in case.  Sorry wallet.

 

A model of Watford Junction would be interesting post croxley rail link completion.  S stock, voyagers, desiros, pendolinos, sleepers, a nice variety of freight, southern 377s (when they inevitably get announced), even Overground 378s wouldn't seem like a bad idea now.   

agree. My layout is loosely based around WCML near watford and previous to this announcement the closest thing you could get was the class 150 in silverlink livery despite that unit not running on the line. Already ordered one of these and would love it if the LO 378 were commissioned too.

From New York it looks like a great idea!

 

I just found out that in August 2012 on one day the London Underground had 4.4 million riders - which is more than the population of some countries.

 

Best, Pete.

That 2012 record was recently beaten in november 2014 with 4.576million riders in one day on friday the 14th
