Happy to see the 8F, which was really a no-brainer as far as models requiring re-tooling. Not interested in the C class or 31 but happy for those who are.

The glaringly obvious omission for me is that there is not a single DMU. Many were crying out for a 116/117 or 105. I would have been delighted to see the 101 re-released in a 3 car green speed-whiskered version as they are extremely difficult to get and command such high resale prices. Odd that Bachmann haven't spotted that.

Another vote for the Cally Jumbo and Pickersgill 4-4-0 in n here...

Intercity 125 Executive

 

It seems 'InterCity 125 Executive' coaches are now available, with NC226C & NC227C both being standard class. Note that Rails currently list NC226C as First class, which appears to be incorrect.

 

When can we expect to see a First Class in this livery?

Why do these not match the ones in the Executive HST Bookset? Those featured italicized 'InterCity' branding.

things to remember that photo is taken in a display cabnet in an artifically lit area. so the light will distort thr colours bud. its also a PRE-production model meaning that it will not be perfect. why not wait for it to be released and wait to see

Oh I'll gladly wait to see the finished product, in fact I was wondering if the discrepency might be the reason the blue/grey and virgin sets are imminent and swallow livery isn't - in order for some adjustment to be made. Having said that, the lighting conditions don't seem to have affected any other colours in those pictures, and even if the white balance is off, it shouldn't be out to that extent..the area in question seems overly dark as well as green.

If it does turn out that I pass on purchasing, it leaves me with £200 or so for other stuff anyway

I don't remember Intercity Swallow having khaki in it...

The Swallow livery was the one I was looking at purchasing, but something seems to have gone seriously wrong if the colours of that pic are accurate
