Saw the 56, 50026 and a 31 go past the back of the house on their way to the diesel gala this evening.

Only ever seen a single 56 working and that was a few years back when fast line were still using theirs.

Sounded very nice though!

Alistair

thats good I would hate to not be able to get them because of the other few models that are due any time now.

Alistair

oh heck thats another one i have on order wonder if they will be here for DEMU at the start of june

Bachmann did the same thing with a 66 that Kernow commissioned. the half Shanks half freightliner livery. i think they put a 40th anniversary logo on it and was either DCC or Sound fitted.

So if there is demand I dare say they would do a rerun.

if you do forget come and speak to me, as I will have one there over the weekend.

Alistair

just signed up with natural Born Loosers.

Can you send me the guide thingy so i can have a read.

Alistair

Hi

the Warwell is looking great.

Would you be looking in to producing a Warflat as well. As I might be interested in both of these, if they can be done in N gauge, as the one that I brought would look better in yellow skin. As the correct bogie is already available from ATM.

I am looking forward to the new pantographs as it means i wont have to get a class 90 one to do my NMT pantograph coach.

I am hoping that the 'other models that we are in the planning stages for' will be an 87 or a 90 or both as anything earlier there isnt really the stock in dapols catalogue and it would tie up all of the WCML Elecs and would suit the Mk 3's and the Freightliner spinesand are perfect for Kinlet Wharf to update all the old farish locos and Lima hybrid 87s that are the current Power.

Hi Guys,

Would anybody be able to tell me the hight of the raised pantograph from the track level as i need to cut a hole in my back scene to fit the loco through.

I am also after the hight of the catenery.

thanks in advance

Alistair

from what i have been told, they both went to a depot in bristol, but i cant remember the name of the place at the moment!! one was left there and the other was moved up to the midlands (possibly the Freigthliner container terminal in birmingham but again not good with names) but as the lickey was closed for works it came through Kidderminster and Stourbridge at some ungodly time yesterday morning. something like 03.30. My contact that I have had no idea that it was coming up until 02.30 and decided against waking me up which was the right idea.
