Just had an e-mail from Hattons complete with three video links of the Met-Vick. Not playing on my laptop at the mo but hope others have more luck! " has been an exciting week here at Hattons with the arrival of the first pre-production sample of our exclusive Class 28 'Co-Bo' produced by Heljan. Below are some links to videos of the Class 28 on our test track, http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=LPNN45H6s4g http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=tHEe505h87I http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=p9YeSAeRVZw As this is a pre-production sample there are still some changes to be made but the videos provide an exclusive first glimpse of the model. For anybody attending the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition this weekend, the Class 28 sample will be on display on the Heljan Stand. For more information on the Class 28 project, and to pre-order, please refer to www.ehattons.com/class28 "

I did e-mail Bachmann about the 350 becoming the 444/450 and they replied. I'll have a hunt to see if i can find it for you.<BR><BR>Edit: No luck, basically there are no plans at present though one would assume that with enough urging they'd be more likely to consider it. Just look at the GWR ROD. I know I'd get one of each in SWT livery

Having got mine out of the box to attach the added extras, (liking the split polystyene style) I appear to have what looks like a tool box but no idea where it goes. Also, has anyone added all the bits and run it with coaches? Or should certain bits be excluded, The Instructions aren't all that clear...

Stop me if i'm wrong, but that's reversing isn't it?

May I ask how much it's going for?

Is there a photo on the web of this? Tried Google but got a load of junk instead.

Well the Wiki entry quote's an Ian Allen book and the LNER Encyclopedia and the Rail UK websites for there numbers so depends if you trust them really. And a pic of a LNER L1 that's not 9000 would be good too!

Really? Cos according to Wiki and the LNER Encyclopedia they didn't...

Maybe I'm being a little churlish, but IIRC the Thompson L1 never carried the number 9001 did it? Has this been pointed out to Hornby?
