It would be nice if it was brought up to the high standards set by the new 158/159s, fortunately I have some repaints with the toilet mods on the 150/1 and 150/2 in the current Northern livery. They may just need the Arriva bit removing as stated by others above.

Interesting is this a new tooling or just a new body?

Read it again. no models have that light configuration on them. the clue is above the photo.

Another question for Hattons Dave whilst lights are the current hot topic here. Do you have any future plans for variants using the “New LED headlight cluster”as per the photo from the link you posted earlier in this thread. https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail.aspx?id=718

Once again thanks to Hattons Dave for the information concerning both the lighting and the livery issues. It’s been mentioned a couple of pages back on this thread that most of the sound fitted versions are now marked “Sold out on pre-order” on the Hattons website. I wonder if it can be confirmed by Dave whether some of these sold out sound fitted versions will become available again at a later date?

Firstly many thanks to Dave for responding on the lighting issue regarding the large headlight versions. I am currently trying to work out if I should retain my pre-orders for sound fitted 66621 and 66743 or cancel them and change to something else with the correct light configuration. Reading the posts on here I get the impression this issue relates to marker lights in yard mode as oppose to the running lights for mainline running. If my assumptions are correct and the running lights function correctly the yard light configuration is not particularly a concern to me. Can this be clarified so I can make a decision.

Thanks for the update Dave.

I suspect the call centre/web chat staff are very much in the dark on all of this. an official announcement is really needed to stop all the speculation.
