Don't be silly this is Dapol not some amateur off the street!

Indeed they do and whatever WCRC engine is on it (48151, 35018, 45699, 46115, 6201) they use a pool of support coaches. Also if you look at the Mk2F coach releases you will find an example of each type of coach you would need for a rake. Seems like an oversight...

I currently have 002, 023, 032 & 034. However I'm tempted by 68016 as it was an earlier delivery date (2015, although not part of the first two? deliveries of 68's) and would match up better with 002 than 034. But like a few on here I'm not sure how many people are thinking like I am. I also need to look if I need 5 68's. I would argue with two TPE sets on order then yes I would. As then it gives me a good mix, to run 023, 032 & 034 on the TPE duties and 002, 016 & 034 on freight duties. Unless you missed out on the TPE locos originally then I'm not sure how popular these ones will be, unless people want the whole fleet of TPE 68's! It's nice to see some more blue ones being done. I think the Chiltern ones would have been more popular had the rolling stock been done for them to haul, as you can still find them brand new I believe.

I did find it very interesting that Bachmann even with the coaches they announced they were doing had lots of holes in them, doing a range of mk1 BSK, SO and RMB then a Mk2A SO. No first class coaches, no Support coaches which would have been a real treat and then no such full kitchen vehicle meaning that anyone's rake of WCRC coaches is still very limited Don't get me wrong I'm glad they are doing them, but why not go for it and have a better selection. I'm obviously not asking them to make a full rake and have all different running numbers and names because if you want that you just buy multiples of the one and do the renumbering yourself. But just seems daft when in theory they will have the tooling as part of other coaches they do but not as one complete unit.

If you need a reference to go by, here's a link to a photograph of mine of a 57. You should be able to get a dremmel in or a pair of fine snips in to do it. As you can see it doesn't really need to be a fine cut as it's not in real life. I'd just go carefully and that's all you can do in modelling! @MRDBLUE17 are you waiting for Bachmann to release the Virgin Mk2F to do the conversion's from?

The EWS ones are more than tempting me, if I were to get any others which ones would fit into 2010-2018 era brackets, or wouldn't it matter because of how I'd need to weather them? As I know I need to add some to both the flats and the coil rakes I have.

Really good stuff Jerry! I keep on adding to my want list with all these 90's your doing! Keep up the good work!

Does anyone do a kit for the bits that carry the steel? Would be interesting to model that! Thanks for the information guys!

Hi all, I've had a rake of the standard Bachmann modern image container wagons for a while, before Hattons FEA's or Dapol's intermodal wagons came out. Now my question is where and when did these wagons actually operate, as I'm considering selling them if they don't fit in with my era of around 2010-2018. Any help is much appreciated! I've attempted to search through my own images but unfortunately I concentrated on the locos Cheers all!

I think the beans might be out of date by then too! Just like the fact the tooling might be a bit old fashioned on the 150 compared to the the 158?

You'll find that EMT power cars fetch a similar price tag, why a rerun of these haven't been done I'm not sure. But there is more than just one period that has demand for reruns. Hornby haven't managed demand very well. However as a manufacturer you would always want to leave your customer wanting more so you don't end up with dead stock.

Your awaiting there stock response, "The colour is correct and we are sorry that you feel that it is not correct" On a side note has anyone had anyone dodgy circuit board in there GBRF 50? Now I've fitted a sound decoder in my pair one of them doesn't want to function correctly. I'm having lighting issues

Good Video Scott, keep going the stuff your doing is really good work!

Hi Ben, I've dropped you a message regarding the newsletter, I'd actually quite like to receive it. As I have my eye on a few of your projects Chris

Apologies wasn't meant to cause any offence! I know these things take time, and I'm happier to wait longer for better results. This would be my first purchase from revolution as I've missed there earlier results due to being out of the hobby (See the amount of post's on my profile), so wasn't sure how they operate (not subscribed to the newsletter, not sure on the website).

Have I missed an update on this project, or has it gone a little quiet. I'm hoping things are still progressing/there was enough orders to make the OO one move forwards? Chris

I'm wishing to have the funds to buy everything, by any chance does anyone have this week's lottery numbers...

I think the one I really want to see is 37057, in its BR Green livery as Colas had it on test trains with its headcode boxes.

That sleeper Skoda looks amazing! That’s certainly very tempting!

Whoops! Wheres the reverse button!

There's one 37 I'd like to see A/S do, and that would be 37057 in its BR green colour while in use with Colas on test trains.

AFAIK the 37/4's are all spot on up to date. The 37/6's that are current are 37602 (2017 it appears on flickr so now probably stored currently) 37606 (according to flickr is still active) 37609 (appears to be around until 2017 on flickr as well so possibly stored currently).

There’s a link to a photo taken a week ago here; I believe most of the EWS/DB ones still have the arrows. Unless they are in Red/Stobart. Which is when they lost the arrows. Which actually makes me think I am surprised that there isn’t a 92017 in Stobart livery released as a limited edition or a Rails version etc.

I'm looking forward to the modern variants of these salmons! I'm sure they will fly off the shelves.

92036, has been in the exact livery A/S have done it in for about 12 years. The EWS sticker was applied and the BR Arrows are still in place to this day. I'm not sure if your trying to say A/S have got the livery wrong or not but I think it's spot on. If this information helps mean you have chosen the right loco then I'm also glad I could help.
