    I have no certificate or anything but I do have the Lima class 20 which used to run around the layout in beatties shop window in Blackpool, bought for a tenner in the shop- no box, broken buffers and drive shaft all of which have been replaced (although buffers wrong colour! For this little piece of history I would listen to offers over £200!! Anyway good luck Bachmann with this venture I look forward to the chain opening near me soon.

    I spoke with Dapol at the recent O gauge show and they told me a batch of 08’s was due soon so perhaps these are in with them?

    From Charlie? You should have asked for payment up front!

    First class 91 91111 for the fallen has arrived, some issues at first with derailments on set track points but seems to have settled down apart from 1 point which ironically is Hornby not peco. Works fine on my streamline track though. Nice weighty model although printing on nameplates a little fuzzy but there are etched ones to apply over.

    Someone has posted a pic on face book to say the printed destination boards on the model is Carlisle calling at Watford junction which may just be on the wrong side of the country! From the deanpark station Facebook page

    There is another run coming intercity executive livery and a a special livery so would see how these go, I would suggest the ones in the sale are limited in terms of timescale and availability matching stock. Have heard the electrics don’t sell argument so many times but they keep coming from various manufacturers.

    Unfortunately can’t get there this weekend- will the catalogue (and maybe cards) be available to purchase somewhere or will it only be available at shows? Hopefully can get to warley so will collect the as yet unannounced packed autumn version then!

    Any consequence or penalty would be part of the contract between accurascale and the factory but most of the delay is outside the influence of the factory and accurascale (maybe apart from the paint to the engine block). Nothing to do but sit and wait, and I am sure the wait will be worth it.

    I didn’t write the piece but seems to suggest they were not wired in correctly in the first place.

    I honestly don’t know but read the article at face value that they had a cab light which didn’t work and offered a fix. I don’t believe I had seen a cab light mentioned before so wondered if there were faulty ones out there which considering the faults found with this model I wouldn’t have been surprised.

    Blackpool- accessible by train- and with a huge teenage pregnancy rate enough to keep an 18 year old boy occupied!! Or maybe not!!!

    They did look short on the pre production sample but KR did say they are aware of it but now they are in peoples hands we should get reports if it’s an issue or not on our train set curves.

    Not all the spares are on the site -try phoning Bachmann I got some battery boxes for my class 47 this way which were not listed.

    Apparently F12 allows you to move with the panto down but not tried it

    Sorry not sure if mentioned already but Hornby did fit a cab light but not wired it correctly! Someone on Facebook has kindly done a fix.

    I had the same issue- emailed in and I think it was Fran (thank you) who sorted it for me - the address on my online account only shows my new address and I think It was confirmed this would be used.

    Hornby apt coaches now at hattons no signs of the sets yet though.

    The cab detail is shown in the launch video and is much better, the old one looks like the cab floor has rotted through and the driver has fallen through it!

      If it was like that for Model Rail Scotland what on earth will it be like for Ally Pally?

      In all seriousness though (a first for rmweb?) this does seem to be a golden age for 4mm modellers

    They are new the pre owned stuff always has a PO-**number after the product code and would be listed individually not have 6 in stock.

    I would be worried about the quality control on the pills if w provided by Hornby.
  25. Markwj
    Have Hornby actually provided a review sample?
