Just lately there have been a fair few GB 66s released if you include the LULs. And now two more to come

Will be worth the wait

I have to say the livery although plain looks very smart. Perhaps Hornby will give us information on the missing coaches at a later release. Just trying to think where I can muster the money from ! Would really like to complete my collection as have most liveries....

The latest delivery date information is now February 13th.

So if the factory setting value is 6 needs to be 2.Changed CV29 to 2 but doesn't move at all now. However tested on a Dynamis and loco runs fine which is annoying.

Can someone please advise how to turn off DC running on CV29.. Thanks...

A standard release would be good to open it up to one and all....

Although not the best of pictures, it certainly did... Seen on a Bournemouth to Manchester service

As a member of the collectors club I'm a little miffed that the latest club model is open to the general public attending the Warley show before the club members. I'm sure it won't but they are not going to be in a good position on Monday if it sells out over the weekend.

I think Colas must have some of the contract, although 68's are more common now on test trains ?

Sorry Jim, but they've all been done so many times by Heljan and Vi-Trains...

So need some help on the running of my 73. Have now fitted a Sapphire Decoder and it responds to the Dynamis Controller. However it does not respond to the EZ controller and just crawls along at the same speed. Anybody running one successfully with a basic DCC set.

Yes, my second six are on there way... Need to sell the surplus I bought from the first run....

Very much an error or oversight. Might be worth mentioning on the Dapol Digest if youve not already done so..

They are currently being made in Brum, they are massive....

I have had the latest DRS 66 on mine, but now its got a Freightliner 70 on it !!

A pair double headed on the Tesco sounds good to me !!

I believe Wagony Swidnica are part of the Greenbrier group

That's good news....Let's hope they can get them into the plan before year end.

Thanks, I will have to check which decoder it is as the 557 is four function whereas the 554 is only two.

That's strange, there is a write up here:- http://www.railtechnologymagazine.com/Rail-News/eversholt-rail-sells-entire-freight-wagon-fleet

I've got an interesting scenario, fitted a Bachmann 21 pin decoder to my GBRf Class 73, resoldered the wires for correct directional running, tested with my Dynamis and all ok. Run in on DC all seems ok. Set it to run on the layout and it will not respond, sets off at a crawl but is uncontrollable. I use a basic EZ controller on the layout, similar problem I had with my Windhoff MPV unit that wouldn't respond, and ended up fitting a Sapphire Decoder which resolved it. Just wondered whether anyone else had had a similar problem with their loco. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/55835-a-problem-with-my-class-350/?hl=sapphire&do=findComment&comment=680845

I believe in 2009, built by Greenbrier Europe in Poland

Here are my offerings with the detail and nameplates fitted....

Just checked my order status and 66721 is now showing as awaiting despatch My 66718 is a derailer on points, I think the coupler pocket is fouling the front skirt and the bogie could do with a bit of loosening off
