Maybe set up your own factory in the UK. Plenty of interest in your products. I'm still hoping for a 2nd run of the castle cement wagons. 

Or Ireland eh,with bridges and tunnels on the drawing board,would be nice to see,be the Ebac of the model railway world.

nearly there. The website has been updated with photos of each pack now and shipments of preorders will commence Tuesday. 

Thanks for the good news McC,i think i would speak for all in the hobby in just saying Thanks to all you guys for making your company the benchmark of how it should be done, it seems more like a joint effort with your customer base once models announced,stay safe and keep up doing what you do so well. I had better get on with my loft.......

regards Eric

Looking forward to these,any sign of them being beamed into your cargo bay from the ship or are they still in quarantine??

Anyone got 66740 Sarah,or more has theres got nameplates on it, or are they all missing the nameplate?

The full priced 66756 is down to eleven in stock now so the last Europorte livery will be gone soon.

Browsing through my Deltic photos, found this of Tulyar at the Cross in 1981, I used to call in at lunchtimes to see what was about.

 

Model of 55015 duly ordered, they look amazing!

 

Hopefully with the guy hanging off the door eh,the past was a great time to live was it not....he might be in the detail bag.

Just after a bit of info on the Freightliner locos and if what I have researched is right.....

 

 

And lastly....no, I don't want a pink 'ONE', I'm not even sure that one has even been down to the Mendips to work stone trains?

 

Any feed back/info/conformation would be great.

 

heres 66587 0n Mendip stoneat 30 mins in,this chap puts loads of Mendip suff on so great for reserch so give him a sub and like as its not my content but check out his playlist as theres years of stuff there.

If you want 66957 be quick as its next to sell out........now at 10 in stock and yes the orange on 66623 is wrong.

All the issues on these are fixable so dont be put off and miss out.

 If you buy a brand new product on launch you are de facto product test engineer doing testing in proper 'real world' scenarios!

Its us the buying public thats the issue,We were the workshop of the world,how well it could be made was important,now its how cheap can we have it,it was made to last and not to a price,media hype has got a generation that has never known how well onto the look what you get for so little,you get nothing worth having for nothing but in real terms we are getting very little for a lot if it only last a few years and needs thrown away,churning out anything is only good for those selling it,and now we are so environmentaly conscious no good either,just hope the di cast chassis does not dissolve in a few years eh,but it is what it is,skilled is replaced with qualified,i know where i would prefere to be.

What started as childs toy is now pretty good as we got older and proved we could play safely with electric other than clockwork trains.......

Heres the British Steel wagons in long rakes at Margam and a Yeoman 59 with a rake of them,not my content so give him a like as he posts some great railway video.

 I'm sure no one has a train of aggregate on their layout that is so urgently required at the opposite side of the room that a while longer won't hurt.

Its the expense of buying 12 Hattons 66,s when 4 of these should do the trick,modern image is so popular so i hope they bring us some up to date G&W and 59003 in GBRF with the initial batch,only 4 axle ends to get right on these too,they have had six years or so to get it correct so it should be a step up in modern diesel models hopefully

Fixed properly it runs great,it looks the part and pulls and sounds the mutts nuts with the full package,since this is Hattons thread you would think there would be the odd comment other than buy our products on you tube,if i was not up to reaxleing these i would still buy them over the Bachmann one as its way beyond that.If you cannot remove the axle box cap and shorten it ,pop it back with a dot of glue then you should not have electric trains,some of the stuff on these is way out of proportion. Its a good model that can be made great with a little work.

Martin,

this page has probably got what your looking for,and other models,by the picture you are axleboxing it with Hattons bits too.........Frankensteins 66 if you go down that route.

hope this helps out.

Heres a rake toward the end of the video with some still Fast Line visable,Mikes you tube stuff is great for freight flows so give him a like.

there have been a few videos posted on this forum of the mixed rakes

Looking at the Mendip stone trains now anything with wheels on gets filled with stone,theres all sorts mixed in rakes,if you were heading to London and left your boot open it would be filled with stone........makes for interesting modelling.

Hi John, 

 

Correct, demand wasn’t huge for VTG compared to other liveries so just the one pack for now.

 

Thanks,

 

Fran

so are these VTG ones around today or are they gone for the modern image modeller?

If Carlsberg did model railways they would be Accurascale,these will go down well........

Running code 75 peco is the back to back better set to 14.75 or 14.50,thoughts on whats best?

What do you run at and any issues?

Probably some blokes wife selling his stuff after shes locked him in the attic,hes told her its worth that so it does not go eh..........

Another good video of 59 off Yeoman pulling ARC wagons,not my content so give him a like.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbmMROGpH_w

Heres a few more clips of two year old 59s doing there thing,46 assorted wagons on the first clip.Not my content so give him a like

Heres a two year old 59 pulling some of these wagons and others in the rake of 46 when only Yeoman had them,not my content so give him a like,useful to model certain timefames.

I'm building a layout based on South Wales steel and thought I'd nailed all the locos I'd need until I saw this same vid the other day. Might have to get a Yeoman 59 now 

Would be rude not to.....................fill yer boots.Dapol have a one on the cards.

Some you tube film of 59,s with JNA wagons,give him a like as its not my content.....

More good film clips found on you tube of 59s,give him a like as its not my content.

Err no,it looks silly,its a model not a toy,the model looks like its on fags,the driver might be a 60 a day guy but not the model......

Yes they are a jumble of anything goes today aswell,the taller newer sqare boxes and the shallow JUA that Accurascale are bringing out are the old ore hoppers ,about three back i think and five to seven back,the next clip has some ARC ones but they would not have there 59,s then.
