      ah yes, it was tornado then. 60163... but it was completely stripped down to the bare boiler. i take it this is THE tornado and not another one they're building?!

    Hello Dave, What are the initial liveries? have i missed the chance to order the Network SouthEast 86401? or is that going to be a later release? cheers Ryan

    the refurbished Underground A Stock could be a fun addition...maybe with a touch of graffiti? or the new London Overground units (class 378?). how about both!!

    hi there,

    why was the topic regarding the farish class 70 closed? i don't check the Bachmann section as farish is the n gauge brand so it doesn't make sense to close it. why would i check a 00 manufacturer for an N gauge product?

    cheers

    sorry to hear about the issues you've had david. ive got 5 Dapol powered units at present. a 66, a 221 XC and a few 156s. so far the only one i've had issues with is the voyager. it makes a truely horrible noise when going round corners and is generally noisier that all my other locos. Aside from the de-railing issue when i first got my 156s i've had no probs since. so far, again touch wood, the farish units i have are all fine so far. my experience is that the Dapol models need to be run in well. i had to admit i didnt run in the 221 proper and i guess i've paid the price. it was my first n gauge loco i learned from that lesson though. all my other locos have gotten the proper amount of oiling and runnings before "play time"!!

    initial reaction was disgust... looked too much like one of the big american trucks. however, its already growing on me. i quite like the rear view windows on the cabs. actually, just looked through photos on the other links and the design has grown on me even more. strange...

    for just four days work that is looking great. when you get "in the zone" you really do go for it don't you?! i've never really considered doing a 'shelf layout' before but this has inspired me a bit. glad to see the central 150 taking pride of place too. get the parrot 156 (EMT) on there too!!
