Good point ! The weathering by bachman is brilliant. Lets hope there are more during year on your mentioned models. After all there are 3 more quarterly announcements to go in the year.
Speaking of retools you missed the 03 & 43.
My thoughts are a retooled 08/09 considering the variations in livery & locos itself .I say it would be commercially viable.
& yes i am aware of the Hornby model .
i bow my head to your superior knowledge.
The receipt for my collectors wagon 37-023 listed dates maybe that was the dispatch date of the Magazine ....
totally agree with your statement, I propose the best way forward is to wait for the customers to start posting photo's of their purchases and we take it from there.
That certainly was a good bit of PR that event . A first time to my knowledge a RTR manufacture has held an event devoted ta a particular loco.
& no mine hasn't arrived
But the floods have gone & the delivery van can get through.
I ordered the same loco and, like you, I haven't had the payment taken. That was the reason I made a call yesterday to confirm that my order was still live with them and they confirmed that they were yet to take the payment but would be doing so in due course.
Hopefully the first batch are at the packing & dispatch stage according to previous posts....Only one snag for me. Where i live the area is flooded so the agony goes on.
