Just been reading books on Norfolk and Suffolk railways { The mid-Suffolk light Peter Paye } As you say this loco turns up every were. I find it strange we have had to wait so long for a RTR loco of this class. I hope Hornby get this model done some time a long wait a head i think through. Shame I think that Bachmann did not take it up there J11 is a superb little loco Chris

Had an email from Hatton's regarding me cancelling my pre- order for the green non sound version 40 .don't want to risk it if its as bad as my brother-in=laws blue one was since returned and refunded never of us are capable of the work needed to make it move wheel clean and oil is about our limit. { not purchased from Hattons } any way they say its been extremely popular with there customers and haven't experienced problems with loco;s being returned and did not anticipate any issues with the green version. I Will wait and see Regards Chris

Long wait for a 40 that looks like a 40. BUT it don't run and I don;t have the skill to add extra pick ups. is it not time for Bachmann to add something on this problem after all the time spent getting it to look like the real thing. Chris

Hi David Yes its the livery. As to a class 66 i got one from Andy ( cairnsroadworks } his done a superb repaint and weathering job on it a lot of money but then a lot of works gone into it. I dont dabble in sound so a couple of Heljan ones one at a time is not to bad. Someone will do a 66 limited edition soon but thats going to be £100.00 easy un less Bachmann do one normal release. Cheer's...
