An eMail from Hatton’s just now indicates that this will be in shops July.

Ok starting to get a little excited about these now they are just around the corner, our East Mids and EWS/DB layout is coming along niceley.

Quick question; I ordered DCC ready version, what options will there be for sound when they arrive? or can I upgrade to a sound fitted model? Thanks.

Hello, I seem to have misplaced the four body fixing screws while fitting DCC sound, what spec are the replacements and if you know where to get some that would be great, thanks.

I tried Kadee’s but this created a new problem; I have some gradients on the layout, not very steep, but with Kadee’s when at the top of an incline the wagons would uncouple from the loco and roll away!

Well this one was a long time coming, alas too late for me now I had one professionally sprayed a few months back.

Im assuming this is just another version of existing tooling? I only ask because I find the currently over-engineered NEM coupler pocket bracket to be terrible and flimsy, it causes no end of bother on my layout with wagons couplers riding over the class 60 coupling and soon im going to tackle modifying it to attach the NEM pocket to the bogie for greater strength, but if this new release has already addressed that then il buy one...

So as soon as anyone finds out whether the NEM pocket is body-mounted still or bogie-mounted, please let me know.

Strathclyde Orange and Northern Purple please

Now then, tricky one, Northern purple as its been around for years, or Northern white as they are all being refurbished now...

PPPS Model or the Year 2017 Results: Not even a Multiple Unit! Just 4 X SR carriages. (We must try harder)

That’s not how this confirmation email reads...

And I have a screenshot of your website saved from when I placed my order (just in case payment didn't go through etc)...

Both clearly show the price for an EMT unit to originally be £210 when I placed an order and paid a deposit, I just wanted to know if I will still be paying the £160 balance when they arrive or if it is now £180, on top of the £50 deposit.

Thanks.

Quick question, since paying a depost in June last year the price on the website has gone up from £210 to £220 and now £230, will the original price be honoured for those who have paid deposits?
