Summer_Saturday

Very nice . . . definitely the best factory weathering I have seen. I went to order one a while ago for a Speedlink train, but they had sold out. Come on someone, list one on eBay

If you look at post number 117 in this thread (page 5), it seems to suggest that they are in stock. You may be in a long queue of orders being sent out but you are best chasing it up by phone if concerned.

Modelfair have got the Silver Bullets in stock today, still showing as available at a very reasonable £22.95: http://www.modelfair.com/acatalog/Dapol_New_Wagons.html

Heljan have posted a good picture on their website of the bufferbeam detailing: http://www.Heljan.dk/faste_filer/modul.asp?vis=nyhedmod&fModul=web588.asp&mode=laesnyhed&artikelid=255 There is also a good picture here of an ex-works loco: http://www.therailwaycentre.com/Pages%20Loco/Recognition%20loco/Illus_15.html

This picture of an ICA-D wagon shows just the long pipe on the left hand side of the bufferbeam: http://www.garethbayer.co.uk/wotw/displayimage.php?album=293&pos=4 This is how I did my bufferbeam:

The livery is correct on the production model. There are pictures of it in this thread: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/3962-modelzone-dutch-and-intercity-Bachmann-47s/page__st__50

http://www.railway-models.co.uk/1238_1.html All four suffixes in stock at £27.95. One of them isn't available from the mail order site so you may have to phone one of the shops that has all four to avoid paying two lots of postage (order with Antics over £40 are post free though).

They should be in the shops from next week as they were being sent out yesterday and Monday. A batch was taken to Ally Pally for the retailers there. In case it's of interest to you, Hatton's are putting their pre-order price up from £22 to £24 on Monday. At Ally Pally today they were on sale for £23.75 (The Signalbox), £27.95 (Hereford Models) and £30 (can't remember).

Bought four of the shiny Silver Bullets at Ally Pally today. Absolutely stunning, just as I remember them coming through Dawlish Warren on a Sunday at lunchtime. I'll definitely be getting another four at some point . . . Couple of pictures below:

Bachmann's 47835 "Windsor Castle" in Swallow livery now available for ordering on their website: http://www.Bachmann.co.uk/class47/index.php?id=4 I shall have a look at Ally Pally tomorrow to check they have got the white colour correct on the lower part of the body, as this had been painted grey/brown on the display model at Warley.

Heljan have just added an annotated picture to their website showing where the bufferbeam detailing parts go: http://www.Heljan.dk/faste_filer/modul.asp?vis=nyhedmod&fModul=web588.asp&mode=laesnyhed&artikelid=255

Thanks for that. I've passed on the news and told him that K&S isn't open until Thursday now!
