Apologies, didn't realise you had to be a follower of the page, so here's a screenshot of it.

From a fb post I've just seen, it looks like some of the rebuilt W1s are already for sale overseas! https://www.facebook.com/groups/137680486384860/permalink/2133940523425503/

Yes and you'll need a 20.
-
I've been running mine with Clerestory and Hawksworths for the past 24 hours
-
I can't put the video here directly as its too big but it's a fine runner. https://fb.watch/9NC3kQC1bi/

Yes, flanged wheels are in the detail bag. Runs really smoothly, like most large Hornby steamers and the finish and curves are exquisite. No issues at all here.
-
Turn of luck there. UPS just arrived a day early with mine. Im a massive GWR fan but this is an absolute thing of beauty. An hour of work to finish then straight upstairs.
-
Not sure how they know what it would sound like (?) but found this video which shows one running at least
-
Mail order this time unfortunately although it was shipped straight away by UPS so shouldn't be too long
-
That's where I just got one from. Nice shop, was in there last Sat and very friendly and helpful.
-
All sorted now thanks!
-
Has anyone seen anywhere that has stock please? (Apart from Hornby direct)
-
Has anyone seen any updates on these recently?
-
On the show, they photographed and measured the ex FGW powercar at Crewe Heritage Centre, then 're-vamped' their current offering around the rear doors, front lights and coupling mechanism. They also mentioned that a double sugar cube speaker would be present and new led lighting functions. It looked pretty good! Especially the coupling! Such a shame the FGW set are finally being re-released on the old chassis :-(
-
The original DRS livery certainly seem to be popular. Phoned up to pay for mine earlier, and they said out of 16 that came in, there were 2 spares. Picking it up tomorrow, can't wait.
-
No, I quite like it. Visually, its a stunner and it's a massive leap forward from the older 20's. Then again, I only dabble in sound, and I can take or leave the marker lights as none of my other loco's have them anyway, so it would only show them up.
-
There's 3 pre fitted and one in the parts bag. Guess not all examples had all 4 fitted? Cant think of why else its done this way.
-
Does anyone know if the dioramas in the TB1/2 sets are full plastic or card with plastic relief? From the video at least the detail looks plastic. Can't tell what the walls are though.

Model Rail announce GWR Class 1600 0-6-0PT via Rapido
Markn replied to sem34090's topic in Rapido Trains
Thank you very much guys, glad you like it. No, after a while it fades into the model and I've forgotten about it now given how great it looks running around. Given how much of a good model this is, I think the seam is being overplayed a little tbh. Like you say, you can't see it from a normal running distance. -

No, the (very detailed) instructions show the full top coming off in one. That join is a shame and keeps catching my eye already. -

Here's some quick pics of 1638 in the preserved GWR livery for anyone else who can't wait. Initially, the quality seems good, as does the weight. We've been spoilt with Panniers in 2021 already after this and the 94xx. We shall see how it runs later on after work!

Apparently 1638 is on its way to me, so hopefully we shall see what it's like soon!
