Will any be available to purchase this weekend or you still wading through the preorders etc?

i think the only options are 92009 Elgar and 92030 Ashford, though I think the RfD logo / lettering locations differed between locos

I hope @Accurascale Fran isn’t rubbing off on anyone 😜😂

From my EWS loco controller days I think I even managed to kick out a 47 every now and then too Fran job was a lot of fun then before the whole scale introduction of 66’s

31 / 56 / 58 / 60 a search on Flickr for “6M93 Ketton” will give you a few ideas

Not sure if you’ve got yours yet Dungrange but you won’t be disappointed seriously good wagon again from the Accurascale crew. I’m struggling to find anything wrong with them which I guess is testament to the ethos of only producing something once it’s pretty much a true representation in 1:76...... bodes well for all the upcoming projects too.

All the Freightliner 66’s are in a common user pool, there is no specific HH or IM ones anymore indeed 587 has spent more time doing non Intermodal work since its repaint

Not sure how a couple of pics will help you decide which ones to pick. The original green ones are pretty much all the same, very little variation in the fleet save for the headlights but all these are covered in the listings on Hattons own website. same with powerhaul really, only some slight variations in placement of the logos. heres 528 for what its worth....

Havent run it yet but have noticed my 66528 does sit evenly in the track. 2 axles are in the air at one side causing it to rock. not sure if it’s a case of assembly issue as havent had the time to fully investigate

Indeed Jim, shades seem to have been amended It looks “right” to me, 66762 is pretty much the same too

Well the fact the loco is named Sarah, the description on the website says 66740 GBRF Europorte Sarah and the detailed description says etched nameplates where applicable does tend to suggest that the loco should have the plates

Mine arrived today but haven’t really got it out the box to have a good look at. what I did notice, and have contacted Hattons about, is there’s no nameplates fitted and non in the box if no-one beats me to it will try and post some pics tomorrow

I’ve had 3 of my 4 combined into one order, 66587 is the 4th but this is still to be billed for. I thought it was supposed to be airfreighted like the others if preordered before Nov 15th, which mine was

All very quickly taken down by the looks of it. Perhaps someone hit the upload button a bit too soon.
