Late 60's Diesels in BR Blue with pre-TOPS Numbers which are not from the Western Region.

Mixed up the B16 with the B12, thanks.

Hi folks, which Express/Passenger Locomotives were operated by the ER of BR on the former GER Network in East Anglia during the mid 1950s? Any others than B1/B12/B17s or BR Standards like the 5MT or Pacifics? For the GEML, Gresley Pacifics were too heavy I guess?

Livery samples for the upcoming rerun: from N-Gauge News

Finally the NER J72 in N would be also nice.

Dapol will re-run their N-Gauge LNER B17 Class: 2S-020-004 / 004D 2854 'SUNDERLAND' LNER Apple Green 2S-020-005 / 005D 1667 'BRADFORD' LNER Wartime Black 2S-020-006 / 006D 61661 'SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY' BR Experimental LNER Apple Green Yellow lined 2S-020-007 / 007D 61653 'HUDDERSFIELD TOWN' BR green with late crest 2S-020-008 / 008D 'Easterling' Train Pack Includes: 61669 in BR green with early emblem 4 x Gresley coaches in BR crimson & cream Source: N-Gauge News & Hattons

The main canon in the german TT-Forum is "Let's hope the german TT market will benefit from this in some kind" and "wow, the brits recognize the benefits of the east german gauge". But many also seems to be interested in british steam motion powers. The other forum I mentioned is specialized on modelling british railways in germany.

Here is germany, we have two forums where this topic is "hot" and a big breaking news.

I'm not sure if this was already Posted Prototypes examined by WoR

They mentioned more Sets for the future in the announcement. When I would be a newbie and see starter sets in a shop, I would go with a set of East Coast Main Line Express Train.

Simple Oval in H0/00 and TT. Note the measures are in cm.

Auhagen (german company) offers buildings suited for TT & H0/00 alike. Faller has a Castle model in it's H0 Range which is actual a N model offered as a "background object".

Same her but with N for me...

They could release ballasted tracks instead - I don't see there is an issue with "they can't launch everything at once"..

I wonder why they do not came up with ballasted tracks when this is more for hobbists / casual customers.

As I said, their tracks look like from Tillig. Also the power connector clip looks identical.

Couplers and Tracks (especial their power connector Clip) looks like those from german Tillig to me.

I wonder if the detail parts on the models will be "ready to run" or you have put on some detailed parts on the models by yourself like common with N.

Catalogue says "DCC Ready". They also said they will offer Digital Sets.

Thats a surprise. Starting with those Gresley Parade Main Line Pacifics is a good choice. As an ER Fan those Sets would be auto-buy for me. I guess that "Online exclusive" point is only for some time until Hornby could see how their new TT range is accepted by the market and maybe after some time the open their range for retailers. I don't can see this will be permanently. If go wrong and "Hornby TT" will stay permanently online exclusive and exclude retailers - sorry Hornby you will fail.

Nice wagons. Will you offer them as singles and 3 wagon Sets?

I support this!

Different Scale maybe. I laught when they come up with british TT or finally N Stuff. With their continental brands they have already "experience".

Thank you Ben! Would be nice when some Eastern Region N Stuff is included.

Hi folks, do we know if any Lads expect Dave from Dapol are (still) active at the Board? I wonder which models would you wish from Dapol? For me it's whatever is suited for LNER / Eastern Region of BR in N. Gresley's rebuild 4-6-4 W1 or more LNER Coaches (ECML Stock and Suburbans) would be nice. The W1 is pure wishlisting - otherwise Dapol has the A4 - but for ex LNER Suburban Coaches there is a hole on the N market.
