    Hi @PrestburyJack,

     

    There will be more runs in the future for sure, but nothing till after this first run is released. 

     

    Cheers!

    Hi Fran, just seen the version I want is available via a well-known retailer even though sold out on your website; I hadn't realised you sold via shops as well as direct - order placed!

    Also, do any other retailers have exclusive versions for sale please?

    Thank you

    Ordered the 2 IoW ones from Model railways direct, seem to be selling out in a number of shops

     

    How many have been made? Both Rails and Kernow (and possibly others) have sold out of Malachite version already.

    Ive just had payment auto taken for one of them, looks like I don't get much choice in waiting to save on postage, ah well, at least one is on its way =)

     

     Try contacting Rails directly - I'm sure they will help you with that,

    I did that, they said they couldn't hold one to wait for another, so I would have to pay postage for each one separately.

    Due Summer 2021

     

    From the OO Works website:

     

    https://ooworks.co.uk/

     

    Adams A12 class 0-4-2 ‘Jubilees’.

     

    These where mixed traffic locomotives with the first engine completed in May 1887, the 50th year Jubilee of the Queen Victoria’s reign.

     

    With a total on ninety being built between 1887 and 1895 at Nine Elms and forty by Nielson & Co Glasgow, making them the largest Adams class of all the British 0-4-2s.

     

    These where based at Nine Elms, Guildford, Basingstoke, Yeovil, Exmouth Junction, Strawberry Hill, Salisbury, Wadebridge and Plymouth, they proved successful and popular.

     

    The most noticeable change was when Drummond chimney where fitted from 1900 onwards to most of the class, although a few still has their original stove pipe chimney into the 1920s.

     

    K10 and L11 4-4-0s took over many of the Jubilees duties but many crews still preferred the Jubilees which were more economical locomotives burning less coal per mile then their successors, they also had a higher yearly mileage.

     

    By the 1920s the Jubilees where seen mainly on branch line work, pick-up goods and shunting duties.

    At the 1923 grouping, all ninety Jubilees where still in service and remained until 1928 when the first six being withdrawn and broken up which continued through the following years and became the last serving 0-4-2s on Britain’s railways.

     

    618, 627, 629 & 636 entered into British Railways stock in 1948 but where not renumbered and kept their Southern lettering with 629 being the last one in general service, ending its days shunting at Eastleigh and was withdrawn in November 1948.

     

    There was one other to exist longer in departmental use supplying steam to Eastleigh boiler yard as DS3191 (Ex612) until November 1951.

    Unfortunately, none of these good-looking Jubilees made it into preservation.

     

    From Prestburyjack -

    No connection other than as a satisfied customer.

    No new versions have arrived yet. This is simply Hatton's etc restocking with more from the first batch, which is still in stock at Hornby.

    For those who aren't sure this photo shows the colour discrepancy.

    Is that the LSWR dark brown as supplied, or have you repainted it?
