4 years still to go, I must have been very young - or just having to work longer to afford more models 🤦‍♂️🤣

And if the majority of your layout is dominated by WR hydraulics then thankfully we have other manufacturers who are more willing to service our needs and as you mentioned it is a good cross over period.

I am not really confident on renumbering to get the right version, for me a couple of really good Blue TOPS 47 for the Wr would be a Namer and a ETH pre TOPS in blue but these are as you say niche, but I do believe there are a few niche models from this period which would sell, maybe wrong thou. If we look at Heljan, they have the Peaks via TMC not sure if these have been a good seller but D15 seems to be popular, AS have just announced D6992 and Dapol have a great range of WR Hydraulics all in Blue Pre TOPS - Obviously 🤦‍♂️ - which seems to sell, but Bachmann seem very reluctant to go down this route

And this is why Bachmann won’t produce any Blue Pre TOPS locos, I do feel that there is still some mileage in a 47 WR Blue Pre TOPS namer thou. Fortunately we have other manufacturers that do include us thanks goodness for these although another manufacturer hasn’t cashed in said 47 🤦‍♂️. I would be interested to know what the last (I can’t remember at all) the last Bachmann Blue Pre Tops release

Well it wont happen but a Warship to the new standards would be welcome, may have to wait another 25 years, I probably wouldn’t see that then 🤦‍♂️

Sooooooo tempted to try nd get 027 but it really is outside of my era and area, but I do have a Deltic and have ordered SEE class 50 so do I or don’t I 🤦‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

All I want is a WR Blue Pre TOPS WR skinhead am I asking tooooooo much 🤷🏻‍♂️

It maybe the pre announcement that the smart phone alarm will be at three that day for those who don’t know 🤫🤭🤦‍♂️🤣

Must be a bit of a worry to another manufacturer who’s 47 is due whenever as we haven’t had an update for ages 🤦‍♂️

The only thing I had to update separately was a Fortigate Token App for my works RDS, but I am quiet happy to do that for security reasons. The rest transferred but this is for Iphone to IPhone transfer only I believe.

It when I am filling in some online forms and it takes me about 10 minutes to scroll down to my birth year I realise you are old sunbeam 🤦‍♂️

Saw the Pullmans on the WR but never on the MR, I have walked up the Monsal Trail and often thought of these and other traction slogging up the bank to Bakewell and over the Monsal Viaduct

The only Western I never saw was D1005 Venturer this was the first model I bought for a model railway I didn’t have at that time, when I saw it @ Polperro it was a must for me, just wondered if anyone else has the same situation and bought a model because …

You must model an age that nobody else does, pretty sure there’s one for you unless you don’t like the windows or you are desperate for working fans 🤷🏻‍♂️🤭

These look really great, however get ready for the next 16 pages regarding the windows 🤦‍♂️

Just have to be able to pick out Ash from Nic 🤣🤭🤣

Left it late for this announcement, still a few announcements to come yet, one tomorrow @ 8.30.

It had to be D6992 in blue absolutely bang on, now for a Blue Pre tops skin head Class 31, but later next year please 🤣

Exactly, I have held back ordering the GSYP full headcode in case the a BGYE one is coming from AS but if it doesn’t come then I will order one, I think it comes done to economics - what you want/ what you can afford

36 shots and that was your lot 🤦‍♂️ I went to the Manx International Rally in 1982 just two reels of film as that’s what I could afford, went to Sardinia WRC 2013 with my Canon 6 and took 32 shots of the same car on one bend on for a Time Machine

I came to the WR late I.e. 1971, whilst not a 43 I can remember seeing 806 at Bristol my first Warship and I still remember it so clear. Whilst lucky to see the back end of the WR Hydraulics I still wish I had my digital camera that I have now and those days. 😩

A passenger train, could think of a few I wouldn’t mind using, not sure they would be any use thou 🤣🤣🤣

Not sure a locomotive was ever powered by milk 🤭

Cortina or even a Taurus grill looks a bit none Cortina. Looks like a Capri, Ambassador and possibly another Opel but the bigger one maybe Commadore tuck against the fence in Blue

It must be the red can on the platform 🤭
