I was tempted too but I hope they fixed the depot motif as it was upside down on the engineering sample they showed off.

On its way and due end of April according to the email from HTG earlier… Looking forward to this (and future heavyweights)!

There’s a handrail missing as well, so I doubt it would be the production version. At least I hope not….. I actually think it looks ok. I think certain liveries will help hide some of the issues with the face.

Apologies if I have missed this. I have three coming my way, are pre programmed decoders going to be available like the class 37’s?

Not received mine either. I was going to leave it until after the weekend before contacting them. I have received my mk2b NSE coaches though..

Hopefully they’ve flipped the white rose up the correct way on 214 as well…

Looks ok to me from there. I’ll wait for them to appear in the sales as well.

Would like to see some more head on shots of some of the other liveries if someone has them as I’m still not totally convinced. The higher angled shot of the one in civils grey makes it look pretty good mind.

Oh yeah, I never knew that. Just the forty year old tooling and not DCC. Lots of mentions for 56036 in large logo (was it the first or was that 047?). How about it in trainload petroleum?

56131 in large logo with small numbers?

Canton allocated namer in Railfreight grey. 035 or 038 maybe?

705 - 709 and 887 - 893. And I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve said this before, but with 714 being done for The Heavy Tractor Group, it’s a simple change to do each of the relevant sectors. And a Railfreight grey heavyweight as well please!

They were everywhere in the late 80’s from what I remember, but based at Stratford, Bescot, Crewe, Tinsley, Immingham and Thornaby mainly…

That makes sense. Thanks.

I don’t quite understand the duplication of models in the same livery but different running numbers. If people want different running numbers they will just renumber them won’t they?!? Aren’t Bachmann utilising a manufacturing slot that could be better used to provide different liveries? Fair play on the standard DCC price though. That is going toe to toe with Accurascale. Shame they didn’t do that with the class 37…
