Silverstreak

This is great news as all previous releases in both in 4mm an O gauge have fallen well short in the accuracy stakes. Ive moved on to O gauge some time back and I hope Accurascale nail this and then consider one in 7mm guise

It looks impressive and works impressively I particularly like the raised rivet detailing The smokebox door looks accurate as do the profile and siting of the smoke deflectors boiler shape, firebox, and cab looking good However, the double chimney does not look fully correct and the sniffing valve behind the chimney remains a poor represention. Yes the Brass expansion link is the wrong way round but despite an improvement it still lacks real depth as the radius rod here fitted wrongly behind the expansion link should in effect fit through the expansion link How robust are plastic slidebars and I dont go along with Tender plastic coal load Despite my kit built A3s if the above issues are corrected I will be looking to add to the fleet with a Hatton A3 Lookiing forward to the A4 update Regards Bob

I thought as much we have had nothing LNER in 0 gauge RTR from any of the big players. Unlimited Pannier tank variants , Terrriers and Jintys I know DJ did propose one some years back but it appears to have died a death. I wonder if a crowdfunded one would work especially a J94 tall bunker variant

Just came across this on the Hattons website when was this announced https://www.hattons.co.uk/stocklist/3094212/1000590/1000640/0/DJ_Models_Dave_Jones_O_Gauge_1_43_Scale_Steam_locos/prodlist.aspx

A superb build Brian and a exquisite result, really looks the part especially the weathering below the footplate I recall that when these were released I was tempted to purchase one but let it slip by though as someone has already eluded to I also heard similar mutterings about the chassis wheel spacing etc Bob

Well that's it, I wont be wasting money on one Wait for MM1 to reintroduce the ex JLTRT 37 far more accurate

I agree with all of the points raised by Giles but the Loco and tender body shape looks pretty good to my eye

Brian Is this spare body used for the 37/9 project the final outline for the scheduled 37/4

Im surprised it taken so long to announce a Class 56 far more worthy than some of their previous releases the ugly duckling looking Falcon for one

Im not 100% sold on it. The chime whistle for a start is not sufficiently authentic to my ears, sounds like it all alone stuck in a cupboard somewhere. Plus anyone who has stood next to an A4 preparing to depart who could ignore the harsh sound emanating from the Kylchap double chimney...... hardly noticeable here. Clanking of the rods when coasting not right either After the Q6 had high hopes for this but............

Im no GWR expert but these look pretty accurate and great value Following on from 08 and Jinty would it be too much to hope for Dapol to do something equally good for the LNER/NER fans perhaps a J94 or better still a J72 Bob

Well I now truly regret not sourcing a Class 40 kit when I had the chance The arrival of many not so perfect RTR offerings over recent years has obviously had an adverse effect on the JLTRT business model Those that have built their JLTRT kits will be counting their blessing now including the many that remain stored in the " Yet to be Built" cupboard

Like wise I wish him well .....Laurie is a very helpful Guy

Just an O Gauge J94 to the accuracy of the 4mm version with normal and extended bunker options
