charliepetty Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 The thing with Kadee's is they are dead easy to change 'IF' there are issues. PPS The price of new Kadee's from the US has gone up another 10% it would seem on my latest delivery, so get them soon. Charlie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir TophamHatt Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) I asked this months ago. I'm sure it's on the list. It should be the next one as those liveries saw a wide variety of locations in their life. Edited December 23, 2023 by Sir TophamHatt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 So are the Pre Orders, running low as over 75% sold on one of them.

G-BOAF Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 finally got round to running in my Reg Railway Leeds Carlisle Class 156 (as opposed to it sitting on my display shelf). Really lovely model, performance is great. Two questions - the bottom end of one of the cab fronts is bowed out a little. Before I start dismantling, any idea what could be causing this - is there any part that could be mis-located that might be pushing the cab front out? Also my one design criticism is that the light spills through the slots for the coupler cams in the vestibule floor. Has anyone come up with a solution that won't interfere with the coupling?

meanach Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Does anybody know if there is a way of changing the destination blinds? I have one Scottish provincial ‘Super Sprinter’ but I would love another. The only ones I can see that are left are Cardiff - Pompey sets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 The blind is a Clear lighting path tampo printed once with a white background then over printed in Black with the destination. So a repaint is fairly easy. Charlie (Realtrack) PPS After the NEC Birmingham we expect all Provincial to be sold out, thats 1500 gone in 3.5 years. The East Midland trains are long gone as are the Saltire Livery. Then the last few Scotrail Barbie left. BUT the next run will be up to date Saltire and possibly a limited numbered run of the Kilmarnock Edition (Blook & Custard' One. !!! Not decided yet on Central Trains OR Express livery. WHAT DO YOU THINK ??? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
