Apparently a single screw ship and the smoke is off the stacks,i guess engines in full reverse as they knew it was heading for bridge as the ship called in emergency first,it would seem its had electrical issue all the time in port with overloads tripping........

The ship looses electrical power if you watch footage it goes dark and they get the power back but its too late to steer,apparently it dropped the anchor but was too late.

Hmm seems i attend to many shows then, and enjoy a bit chin wagg with you guys, its a nice touch though and puts names to faces and become buddys with a common interest, as Stephen has suggested a supply on the site for post for those who dont or cannot attend shows, one in the box for the international customers for there support. I guess its the having something to touch and remember a point in time thats appealling to some but just as useful to whack flys with in the summer and the bag full of bricks brigade who attend shows.Thanks either way Paul and Co

So is this in with the 66 models if its en route??

Interesting it would seem the tumbling should be sorted for six weeks time......:)

Let me know if theres something you want to look at and i will post the page,the lads are probably chilling for weekend on there homeworlds liquid produce,Monday might get a chance to add a few to buy on site.(this could be their online catalogue........:)

They are produced as heres winter spring and now summer,and first few pages of latest one,probably good if they keep a little stock for those who cannot get to shows and worth the few quid post to get.

Every three months i think and its summer 24 for latest. It was buyable for the cost of post if i remember correct?? @McC

Is the hard copy one the have at shows no good?

Heres who to blame for the i want it now................

Dont be to hasty,this is just the beginning of the coach range,im sure the rest are on the horizon of the guys here.......:)

Theres another look at the models on Hornby Mag YT. some hint of the sound ones are like.

The list of DB class 66 locomotives to be re geared and renumbered to 66/6 listing include both the Accurascale 66149 66156 66161 66164 66167 66171 66181 66183 66194 66221/66651

Going by the rest of this page if its the real one thanks for buying it for the NRM.

The GM engine is designed around long life and maintanence ease, the cylinder liner and piston rod assembly being replaceable makes it where as long as they are parts made it will be usable. The engine is the least of worry i would guess. The fact is made in the states/Canada is a plus for been able to get the spares.

The ship was tumbling all over on the re entry phase as at one point it was coming i backward,IFT4 will be interesting,probably better achiving a stable orbit and then attempting re entry.

Passing Doncaster on the way down to Ally Pally 66171 was in yard still in EWS but looking like its up for regear to 66/6 so will get a new number and coat of red at Toton soon, apparently ten are getting done to lower their top speed to 65 and up the traction, 66221 is now 66651 after conversion.

Did you read this ,If you go missing we know your wife read this,what hospital fruit do you prefere................:)

Im sure ive seen on this where guys are chipping the coach and assigning them the same address as the loco, with NCE i would think you could just add the two with the consist function as if its just a double headed loco to run together,is this only on NCE as its all ive used and its handy to run multiple headed locos without changing address to match them up.

These two model loco,s that the lads have produced will take some beating in the awards next year,the 56 has few detractors and im sure this will be just as high a bar model,nice chat with Alex at the Ally Pally show yesterday,rightly proud of their masterpieces,and grounded with it.Im sure they have our thanks and support with these.

They will be fine,keep the faith,the futures bright with these guys on the case.
