Here are some pictures that should help with placement of the nameplates on 66718 This one clarrifies the side... https://www.flickr.com/photos/16645820@N06/14971542440/in/photolist-oNZ4Y5-mEQRa2-h6n9XW-fNPiZW-jtaSjr This helps position.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ap86316/25432178430/in/photolist-EKmyB1-afrDcR Opposite side https://www.flickr.com/photos/44685654@N06/15329803289/in/photolist-jzuSmQ-jzurTm-pmDfrg-9RuFfz-cdkkqC-9RuFaM-oAmr9J-iZejp6-oBgv27-ppz2GD-bpfp5y-nwbp2B-paWxxS-coZwsf-6GMJkg-rkVsmF-npDsfP-qtq8Vr-EKmyB1-8ViHF4-ap4YR2-hjBvz8-oKf2Fq-kfUqcH-oFNiYG-afrDcR-rDCiBX-hjAZmV-fhhQDW-rRm29m-D4hoe2

Is that a bad thing if it's a decent model, although we've not had that many in the last couple of years, two EWS limited editions last year and a Colas ? Although this year is a bumper year, sheds galore.....

And me, but only 66718 'Peter Hendy' which was ordered on Jan 6th. The 66721 'Harry Beck' is to follow which I ordered on May 4th.

I was told by the end of the month but nothing yet... I'm impatient !!

I'd be surprised to see them on eBay...

Look in the Collectors Club thread someone has posted a link....

I would doubt very much it will be another Class 37 as the last model was the WCRC liveried one. And to be fair they try a different theme every release. There have been several steam releases over the last few models so I'm hoping for another modern image.

To be fair you could build a rake of Midland Mainline Coaches almost from the start with different running numbers. Hopefully it will be the same with the Virgin East Coast Coaches.. There appears to be five different coaches on the first run.

I was told you should receive them at the end of the month. So hoping they will be here at the weekend

There will no doubt be a scramble for the TSO's... I was lucky I opened the delivery note as I found my certificate in there and not in the box.... I'm worried I may not have done this on my Harry Patch...

I agree Jim, three celebrity locos all out at the same time, 66779 would be the icing on the cake... Next collectors club model !!! (in hope)

Probably in line with the IOAs... Have them in order but thinking I might wait for the GB liveried ones.

The RRP has increased according to Hattons. Now £38 expected selling price about £32.

I succumbed... I suppose you can always run them with the East Coast Coaches for a short while...

The pre orders are now open...

I wonder if we're going to get an Aggrregates 'Spearmint' Liveried Class 59 in a follow on batch.

I placed a manual order and was told they would call me to confirm my order and details when the models were available. I have been fortunate since then to have been able to confirm my order on the website. I don't think there is any reason to panic. The 20s were available for some time till they eventually sold out.

I don't think we've had a duff unit from Bachmann. They all seem to run seamlessly forever. Ive DCC'd the 158s quite easily and upgraded the lights on the 170s DC only which was not easy. Going to get some Express Lighting DCC kits and give one a go. The only issue I can recall on the 170s is a slight wrong colour on the green on the London Midland set.

They have and are improving...

Just ordered my Greenergy TEA's... Hopefully will order the EWS one's when I get back from my holiday.

You obviously didn't ask nice enough this time

I remember buying the very first one at the Warley show, they were £44.95... The tools have probably paid for themselves several times over, it's a bumper time for 66's this year... Agree with you on the new DRS loco's, they look plain but are also very smart, I was tempted with 434 and the new F/L one....

Yes, have to agree the 37 looks the part, a good sister for the original model rail limited edition.... Does the loco look taller than the coaches or is it just the picture ?

There has been a big call for WCRC stuff on here, so for all who wanted Bachmann have delivered.
