According to the latest Heritage Railway magazine: The 1938 Stock tube train hopefully be back in operation in Feb. The 4TC is at Eastleigh having work carried out, including new livery. Former LMS Engineers Saloon no. 45029 is owned by TfL and being restored at Eastleigh. 20142 is planned to haul the 4TC and 45029 from London to Quainton Road for the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre Spring Gala. Met 1, a Pannier Tank (probably 9466), Sarah Siddons, the 4TC & 45029 are pencilled in for Steam On The Met between Wembley Park and Watford on the first two weekends of September.

The Oxford Rail 2017 range announcement is at the London Toy Fair, which is on 24th - 26th January http://oxfordrail.com My guess based on nothing is a new Terrier.

Apparently no. 87 in LSWR Passenger Green http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/117365-Dapol-steam/?p=2528407

The MK2Fs have had a RRP of TBA for at least the past two years. As we've seen previously with the Brighton Atlantic, the LMS Inspection Saloon, the Hawksworth Autocoach and the SE&CR Birdcages to name a few, people order at the Hattons made up price before a RRP is announced. They then complain when a RRP is announced and they get a email stating that the model can not be supplied at the Hattons made up price.

From that page:

If I remember correctly we haven't had a RRP before today or if we did it was withdrawn at least a couple of years ago. Are we surprised after the LMS Inspection Saloon, Hawksworth Autocoach, SE&CR Birdcage carriages and others that the previous made up Hattons prices bere no relation with the RRP?

It changed from preserved to EWS about two years ago.

In possible off topic news: Epping Ongar Railway will be having a London Transport Weekend on 15th & 16th July.

The Midland Railway 0-4-4T is interesting. I might get a S&DJR livered one and/or one with condensing apparatus fitted. Alternatively I could get the Midland Railway liveried one, take my glasses off and pretend it's a different 0-4-4T.

It's GWR 1340 Trojan from Didcot http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/locos/1340/1340.html

I believe that was the plan before the pause and subsequent restart of the MML electrification scheme.

The second batch of Adams Radials locos currently have a due date of 13 January on the Hornby website.

All 5 panniers have arrived at Rails of Sheffield according to their twitter & facebook pages

IIRC Dave has said previously that the profits of the OO gauge J94/Austerity 0-6-0ST would fund the first wave of N gauge models. The profits of which would fund the first wave of O gauge models.

Reading this blog post from Rapido in 2014, it's something that is getting bigger.

I appear to have "accidentally" ordered the Huntley & Palmers one from Gaugemaster. H&P and MSC still available to pre-order from them.

Just got a email telling me that they have arrived and to contact them to arrange payment.

I believe that the SR B473 is as in service, not as preserved. No doubt someone will say what the differences are.
