I took a couple of pics of it too. 
 

As most of you know, I model the 1930’s steam era. But I was very taken with this! It even had the rotating axle boxes. The sheer size of it makes an impression.

Do I spy the B4 too?

Dapol are at Guildex in just over a weeks time so fingers crossed there might be an update.

Please let those of us that can not attend (distance, an ocean of distance!) know about the 66 and the GWR railcar. TIA.

I should remember the 66, the Railcar might be a bit more difficult!

Coincidentally, I just received an email from Hatton's saying to pre-order the GWR now (I have had it on pre-order since it was first announced) as it is expected sometime during September 2022. HOORAY!!!!

 

Now if only the 66 would show up.

I don’t suppose anyone at Guildex asked about the 66 did they?

No, I didn't, as it's not on my Wants Radar, but to be honest, I can't recall seeing any mention of it whatsover on their stand, which I did look at, for the HEAs hiding at the bottom of their display case, and the "NQP" (Not Quite Perfect) locos.

 

Heljan's stand, of course, is full of NQP locos.... 🙄 😇 😝😝😝

When it was announced I was very pleased, but just failed to see how it could be produced to the same standard as their smaller locos at the suggested price. I'm fully prepared that we might see a noiticable hike in the price when it does appear. It is the inevitable way of things right now!

My mate was at Guilder and said 66 was in display case at back but very very prominent


i wasn’t on display at the show in the case or on the mini layout.

 

Only sign of it was a deocoratation picture on the otherwise identical paper info sheet we’ve seen for the last two years.

Well, it is now November and nothing yet.
