RMweb Gold TravisM Posted May 27, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) The EP looks awesome, so the project can move forward and look forward to seeing the decorated samples, eventually Edited May 30, 2021 by jools1959 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted May 27, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2021 Gents, I have a blue/grey on order and that looks so good that I am now thinking that I may also get an NSE version. One question, if I may? The NSE artwork shows the headlamp which Caroline carried when in NSE, but the EPs shown do not show that option (which I guess may have meant that a third bodyshell needed to be tooled). Will the NSE version carry a headlamp? Not a deal breaker, but I was wondering. Thanks in advance, Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted May 27, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi Roy, Yes, the NSE version will have the headlight. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 “These samples are being checked for fit and details. Once they are approved some further engraving will be done – such as adding rivets – then decorated samples will be prepared.” The couplings look droopy – I’m sure that’s been spotted. So far, it looks excellent. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When converted in 1969 it was designed to be propelled by classes 33/1; 73; 74 and all powered 1951/1957/1964 type EP braked EMU's. As far as I'm aware any other types of locomotive could be used to haul it, including 33/0 and 33/2's . If any body knows more details please enlighten me.

Michael Hodgson Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Looks magnificent, and I'm very tempted. I would ignore it being the wrong period and part of the country for me but for the price tag. It's not much less than a pair of KUAs. A hell of a lot to pay for one coach, but if the quality is as good as it looks, I can't really say it's overpriced, even more if memory serves than the magnificent LNER dynamometer. Of course if I win the Lotto Rule 1 will be bent a bit further! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted May 29, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2021 I ordered the Green version as soon as it was announced, and TBH I can’t remember what the price is, but I’m sure it’s less than I’ve paid for any other complete rake of stock recently ! So much so, that the NSE version might well be acquired too. Cheers, Phil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a loco it's a complete train. Certainly not cheap but it's only really a motor and drive away from being a loco and given the slightly niche nature of this item they won't be making millions to drive down the tooling cost per item either. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith In its original state the multi working was only the ones you have mentioned, 33/0 or 33/2 don’t have a west code valve fitted, they are only blue star or 27 way multi. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class 158 productions Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Decided to order one, very excited. When you think about it, you are basically paying for a high quality DMU without a motor. Will be a nice train, although a modern accurascale 37 is now looking more and more tempting.

The most common company for it (it would seem) nowadays is a Bachmann model, 37421 in Colas livery.

I had heard that too a week or so ago, thanks for mentioning it though as I was meaning to go and see it and forgot all about it! Going to Scarborough at some point. The point about 421 is more that most of the pics I have found of it from the last few years seem to be with it. Edit, I had heard DRS 37/4, not precisely 37424 (for some reason when I saw 424 I thought I had read that) so I am now better informed, thanks! Edit again, I have seen on Facebook today that 407 has gone to pick it up.
