PeterM67 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 That 2 day slip to the 14th works in my favour by pushing the payment to the next CC month which is a good thing as I've got the swallow HST on there at the moment - phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulsanne88 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I am not feeling much love for the era 11 great western version . That is what I have on order so hopefully it too will arrive mid March Two stay alives and hunt couplings on standby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live less than than 5 minutes walk from the GWR mainline so anything GWR related is good with me 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Allen Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Not planning on the era 7 or 11, might be tempted for the 7 though. I have a rule of only 1 model per class. Then again rules are made to be broken. hope it’s released for you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up a dog walk from the fastest (for an HST) section of ECML so it always had to be the ECML flyers for me. The OO 125 (my first proper model set) was a WCML set (253 class) which I was always slightly disappointed about.. We live in enlightened times and manufacturers are good at creating multiple loco identities and curious changes between them, it’s incredible to see how far the hobby has come, there is no comparison with my 1978 125 in OO and what I am seeing in the pictures of the TT:120 versions!!

Lostock Hall shed in '67/'68 for me, so LMS/BR standards and green diesels and early BR Blue. I always felt that the BR Blue era was so drab, the colour itself didn't weather well, either, which didn't help matters, perhaps if they'd have chosen "Electric Blue" instead it may have helped matter! Never saw an HST for ages, they simply never got up our way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 If the house we were moving to had been built on time, I ‘could’ have had a chance of seeing HST ‘P’ giving it the beans! Most of stock running down ECML was well kept so the blue looked quite smart although the HST with its snazzy livery always looked very special and super fast, if you ever missed seeing one… don’t worry there will be another along shortly! You could almost imagine it was a giant trainset with trains doing laps 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The remaining HST locomotives (Blue/Grey and GWR) are now showing as just "pre-order" which, as @DarkRedCape has noted elsewhere in another thread, suggests imminent arrival. The Mk3 GWR coaches are shown as Spring and the Blue/Grey Mk3s are still showing as Summer. We should find out very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I’m sure every reasonable effort is being made to get due stock delivered (and paid for) before the end of this financial year only 2 1/2 weeks away. More TT:120 product with happy modellers won’t do the balance sheet any harm at all 😁 Edited March 14 by Rallymatt SpillChuck failierr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulsanne88 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 As I live in Devon the hst trains have been a constant these past 40+ years in all their liveries As a frequent traveller in recent years the GWR version was a no brainer for me My layout (my rules) is not governed by era or region, I just run what I like (and what is available) I will almost certainly buy whatever gets released finances allowing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moccasin Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) It’s exactly 6 months from today. So it’s maybe something they change when processing an incoming shipment. Edited March 14 by Moccasin Better terminology. Gotta love an ology 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
