Ooh now the GWR one might just be in range for me here! Certainly a more attractive price than the accurascale!

Remember this is N gauge, not OO

377.101 would be perfect for me (in 00)

Absolutely aware of that, but I’m currently doing a bit of both and N is somewhat easier for space reasons!

Does anyone know if the Railroad Azuma will feature an interior?

AC/DC fans rejoice, Märklin has announced a recreation of the Black Ice locomotive from the tour of the same name with some AC/DC related rolling stock also available. It certainly puts Hornby slapping prints on ancient Triang/Lima wagons into perspective. The stock does come with an equally premium price though - €599.99 for the locomotive and €79.99 for each wagon variant.

I'm thunderstruck at those prices...

@4COR I thought of you.

I saw this newly announced release from Dapol: a Bulleid Light Pacific (BB + WC) in their Black Label 4mm range. It seems to be of a high spec, outside and inside.
I wonder if Dapol can emulate slipping driving wheels?

I mean, it looks amazing, and absolutely in my era and area (the BoB/WC class that used to run in my area of interest were from Stewart's Lane, Bricklayers Arms and Brighton sheds - both rebuilt and unrebuilt... narrow/wide cabs, 4500/5500G tenders, the lot... though none of their names they mention! ). The route headcode lighting is amazing as well....

The £399 price tag is a little out of my price range though - I already have a Stroudley E1 and Billington K on pre-order with Rails... :-/

Here's Westward Ho! in my area of interest, though, given the birdcage stock, a few years too early

My Accurascale 50s just arrived. Safe to say it was worth the two year wait.

Oooh which Hoovers did you get?
I had to exercise huge restraint on buying 007 and 149.

Wow,
I've got to get Winston Churchill for my collection, now if only they did a Q1.

The Black Label marque certainly sets a bar in digital effects.
What I'm keen to see, is how high a bar it sets with the actual fidelity of the model's bodywork and motion.

Dapol's Black Label A4 didn't give me the "wow" that its price inferred.
I am happy with my hoard of Hornby's recent-ish plastic body variant (the four 80th anniversary "Silver" locos / LNER green Woodcock and Golden Eagle (was the HNG special Osprey)).

Very nice. I saw the Accurascale bloke that does New Junction do a video of it. Are you going to lower the body with the accompanying kit?

https://www.facebook.com/RapidoTrai...ly-sitting-in-our-warehouse-/1218612250248462 :

The LB&SCR E1s have arrived in the UK!

They are currently sitting in our warehouse and we have started the QC process. Please bear with us as this is a vary large delivery and will take a while.
If you have placed a pre-order, please keep an eye on your emails as payment links will be sent out soon.

Some hints on various locations that they might be offering a Maunsell U Class too in the future...
