Rather annoying, I signed up put my details in and now I can’t see the video! really annoys me this why not just stick it straight on the AS page! I don’t want to have to deal with stupid 2nd hand people to look at what I’ve ordered!

I would think a DMU would be expected first, then maybe an EMU

The trouble on most lines is they need to build more lines! 2 should become 4 and 4 become 6 etc… it’s much better than the slight gains we will get from ETCS, only so many trains you can funnel through so many lines! That and unfortunately we don’t have any 125+mph capable locos, probably because we don’t make Co-Co locos anymore. Grand Union will use Units temporarily diesel but then Electric/Bi-mode. Anyway back to these Revolutionary Class 93 models, I’ve heard they run on electric, battery and what’s that other one again…

I don’t mind a new kettle, just give me one that’s still on the mainline today! A new K4, 8F or a Jubilee…

Ahhh that clears that up then! Samples of run 1. Assuming there’s some sort of announcement for Ally Pally though?

Interesting to see that all 9 remaining class 93’s are built and sat in Valencia. Delays to 001’s acceptance must be the reason for them staying there, no doubt something at Network Rail is holding them up from being allowed to start mainline testing!

I’d think that an FL 66/6 early batch might be a possibility, Hattons only did one. Maybe a 66/4 in DRS base livery with FL branding? Another DRS compass 66 or maybe a Malcolm or Stobart special. I’d like to see some more GBRf oddities (709/711/718/720/721…)

Is it too soon to start guessing which ones might be in the second batch…

Accurascale exclusive for the second batch…

I have a set of resprayed Hornby/Bachmann Mk.1’s and some Bachmann Mk.2f’s, it’s going to be interesting to see how those I’ve already got line up to these AS Mk.2b’s and c’s. I have faith in both AS and the resprays, I do think the rakes aren’t supposed to quite match and that a tolerance is allowed for a) colour and b) weathering. The WCRC rakes haven’t ever really matched but seen them be in various states. And that’s from having spent some time around them, the amount of soot and dirt that comes off a Steam engine does change how a coach would look as seen in photos above. I’m still very much looking forward to getting my hands on my WCRC ones!

Thats pretty much what the other station announcement function (F29) says.

Not to worry Function 29 does fine to keep those pesky passengers away from the edge of the platform and speaking from experience the horn works as well! 🤣

I don’t think this has been asked yet (it might have been apologies if it has) is there a CV to change Function 30 from a south west trains announcement to something up north?

Well said!! And well done to @AY Mod! That’s the 2nd/3rd thread I’ve seen them derail with an endless DCC, anti ESU rant! Do it privately and be polite! I feel bad for the folks at Cavalex who’ve had to deal with him!

I’m yet to take a punt on one yet, however there are a few of the modern image ones I like but I’ll have to see how they fit in with other models. There just appears to be something off about the Heljan model I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Well we’ve escaped any leaks so far but not heard an announcement during the weekend unless the Mk1 Sub announcement was for the weekend?

These look brilliant can’t wait for them to arrive!

Nice to see these! I have 37116 and 37422 on order but I’m going to have to try and back date 422 so it doesn’t have the black headcode box and various decals.

I think a UKRL one in grey (probably 56104 as 081/098 have been done as GBRf locos) would be very nice! I’d also like to throw a DCR green one (56303) or 56103 in unbranded Fertis livery into the ring… a Fastline 56301 would be good but I think this is a no go due to the cabs. Of course, I’m a modern image but I’ve been told by friends they would like Dutch or Transrail livery’s if you model further back in time.

But they’ve told every employee about a different project so they find out who’s spilling the beans to Mr. Potato Head🕵️‍ It’s a good job that they have so many projects on the go they can give each employee one project… Even Barbra the cleaner knows one!

Praying for more modern era ones to follow 31128!

It would be interesting if it was announced at MRS, but not put online to see if they can catch out Mr. Potato Head, unless they are at MRS also 👀

The website does actually say, “The models are likely to be priced in line with our other 00 unit models at around £300 for the 3-car Class 320 and £350 for the 4-car Class 321, with DCC Sound etc around £100 extra, and we will be opening the pre-order book shortly to enable customers to reserve their models.”

Here’s hoping that a Northern 321/9 can be made!

No that one is in the next batch…
