    In last few years I’ve seen 779 stabled at Bardon Hill, on container flats at Nuneaton and also on the WCML near Carlisle so it gets about! Seen plenty of photos online of it working the ECML too as mentioned. Read somewhere once that GBRf diagram their locos such that they rotate them on the routes and type of traffic every few days or weeks to even out the “wear” put on the locos.

    This one looks stunning in the photos on Europhoenix Facebook page today.

    Is the countdown still showing for a further announcement in (almost) two days time, or was it for todays exclusive 66s.. 🤔 The photo behind is of a 37, but thought that was all of these for now so that’s intriguing.. 😊

    Thanks @McC I’ve sent an email with the order ID

    @Accurascale Fran Hi Fran I preordered 423 at same time as 409 but have not received a despatch notification for 423 yet. Just wondering if it is being held until 409 has arrived for them to be sent together?

    Class 37 crews are now available to preorder!

    Hi @Revolution Ben This full page ad is in the latest issue of Model Rail which arrived in the post yesterday. I presume this went to the printers in anticipation of pricing etc being finalised and appearing on the website before publication? I know there are a few of us eager to “hit the button” on some more of these so will wait patiently for more updates. Alex

    Six 37s preordered (without working fans) and I’m another one really not bothered about it unless they are included in a later run without adding a lot to the price. For what it’s worth I also do not pay extra for the Bachmann “SFX” spec, quite happy with SF (factory DCC sound fitted) although they could do with improving their speaker quality!
  9. norfolkchinaclay
    Me too! 🤞 I’m sure it will follow at some point.

    I did at least get to spot this at Statfold Ex today, but speaker was turned right down so couldn’t hear the thrash sadly… I think 425 was on the Hornby Magazine depot layout.

    And there is still some steam running on the mainline now, so it is still current albeit in very limited numbers!

    Looking forward to the “crews” for the Class 37s too now. Very impressed with those for the Deltics. Just wondering if there will be any packs of two drivers (for current era high viz, single manning or drivers under training etc) ?
  13. norfolkchinaclay
    Of course I’d be quite happy with 510 in its current ROG/Europhoenix livery..

    The million $ (or should that be Euro?) question is whether the yet to be announced exclusive is HNRC 405/607 (607 has seen more use so better for me), 901 or poss 508 in Railfreight grey? Am wondering if the delayed announcement is waiting for 508 to be finished at BuT.

    140 was a regular on the BIS PAA covered sand hoppers from Middleton Towers to glass works up north when it had the SF sparrow on it. Regularly paired with split box 040 in Construction sector livery or BR green 216 as I recall (school holidays summer 1988 or 1989!) ps there was also 37144 which looked very similar. I cannot remember whether either had black headcode boxes at the time.

    Mine says 2 days aswell now..
  17. norfolkchinaclay
    Oooh! 😮
  18. norfolkchinaclay
    Thanks for explaining Fran! 👍
  19. norfolkchinaclay
    How long to the next announcement..?! 😄 I thought the countdown would automatically reset after this announcement! 🤣
  20. norfolkchinaclay
    Excellent. 218 duly ordered! 👍 I didn’t get a range of payment options when I clicked the preorder link, just the “nil deposit, pay in full later” one (which is fine). When I ordered a 66 recently though it took the payment in full, rather than just a deposit, so is there an inconsistency in the website or have I missed something?
  21. norfolkchinaclay
    I expect it probably is future 37 related (so it probably isn’t)
  22. norfolkchinaclay
    Whoops..!!! 😬 Yes of course. I’ll be wanting the Class 88 and 73/9 in due course myself 😀🙏🤞
  23. norfolkchinaclay
    Am a big fan of Accurascale but I do wish they and other manufacturers would just tell us if it’s steam or diesel, then probably at least half of us would be able to relax and go back to sleep until the next announcement is due.. 😀
  24. norfolkchinaclay
    Thanks. I hadn’t read my daily update email from RMWeb telling me about yesterdays posts yet, even though I check here most mornings and evenings anyway!
  25. norfolkchinaclay
    When did this new announcement for Weds 29th actually get announced..?! 😮
