I was going to annoy the purists and put a rake of MGR's behind mine

Thanks for the pictures Chris. This must be a favourite for the Model of the Year award.

Backhead detail looks good. No wires between tender and engine so assume DCC socket is in the loco, if there is one lol

Just asked that question but chap at NRM was not aware of the future plans. They measured City of Truro up 2 years ago! The Platinum edition is limited to 250 models. He did say they were limiting to 1 per customer. The standard edition has no production limit and will be produced to supply and demand. Hopefully this will undermine the ebay profiteers a bit. I initally rang them because the money is already on its way to the credit card without the adjustment for the pricing error. The NRM chap said those affected should look out for the credit of ??21.75. If they do not get it then to call the NRM who will refund straight away. Lots of apologies from the NRM for the pricing error, but they will ensure its sorted out for those affected.

Hi Chris, If you can, would you mind taking a picture of the cab detail. Thanks. Garry

It will be interesting to see what level of cab detail there is. I wonder if there is a DCC socket in the tender?

I think its called business. Whats wrong with the NRM wanting to maximise profits for the museum?

Mike, See my previous post, they will sort it out for us without our intervention so we will only be charged ??145 for the standard version.

Just rang NRM and they confirmed its ??145 for the standard issue. I was informed anyone who has ordered at the ??166.75 price will have the amount adjusted automatically before they charge the card down to ??145.

Lets not forget that the money is going to the NRM, its going towards the upkeep of the very things we hold a great interest in. So look at it as buying a great model, with a bit of a donation on top for the museum (trying very hard to keep things positive)

Not to mention trying to get all that nice lining just right

Yes I did, look further back lol

Just had a call from NRM. The standard edition is ??166.75 NOT ??145. The price for the standard edition quoted in the press release is excluding VAT. The price for the platinum model is correct at ??195 inc VAT. So if you want a standard version its ??166.75 plus p&p

BTW if ordering the standard edition check the price on your order. My email confirmation just came through showing it as ??166.75 not ??145 as in the press release. NRM are investigating and I am waiting their call back.

Correct, they have not had chance to update the website yet, but you can ring the order through on Customer Services telephone 01925 467 150 open 8am to 8pm.

Here we go, new models are announced and we get the usual comments about costs. You get what you pay for. This is a one off model only available for a short time, it won't be in catalogues for years to come like other models. No doubt if it had been ??60 people would then be commenting on the lack of detail or quality etc. Everyones got a choice, if you don't think its worth ??195 or ??145 then don't buy it. Personally I think it is worth the premium to get something like this. So I have put my money where my mouth is and just ordered one of each. Nice lady at NRM stated both the Platinum and Standard edition are due in the next 28 days.

The NRM told me this when I rang up to order the initial release of the NRM Deltic a year or 2 back. I asked what others might be in the range and the lady told me Bachmann had measured up City of Truro..... oh and a Black 5
