WhiteRoseRambler Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 http://sulzertype2.co.uk/page.php?p=vote-01 So who has voted for what? C, D, F and H. H was hopefully to influence a future headcode variant that could fit the later years in the Midlands. C 'cause it's blue but Scottish variants are a push for me to justify having just changed my layout to fit a late 70s Midlands scene. D so I can replace my Baccy versions of 97201 (both of them!) and F for a bit of Green. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Just spoken with Philip Sutton and he told me this which I said I would pass on: Please, slow down, take time to read through the text, and then go and have a cup of tea or watch the footie and comeback later… there’s no rush! I’m very worried that our cluncky little website is in melt-down. Occasionally, some technical difficulty messages may appear, but all the votes are still going through. We will send out any missing confirmation e-mails in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted April 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2017 An E for me - a rare visitor to Abbotswood, but would hope for a suitable blue non highland headcode box version to follow along in future... Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm81 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That being the case, has anyone tried obtaining the extra water tanks from SLW to do the Conversion? Yes, but I also wanted a green D5107/D5098 bodyshell so I am holding on in the hope they manage to find one for me. They did say that most if not all parts are allocated to full models.

Kelly Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Remember it is effectively an expression of interest, so just blindly voting for them all unless you really want to buy it later is wasting time really. I sharn't be voting on any of them, as I've what I need now really as my interest is firmly south of the Thames generally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Green, fye and tops, specifically 24092, but what I really want is 24133, in blue with odd ends. Having said that, though I didn't vote for it I'd struggle to resist buying "experiment" 97201. im just releived that rapido have delayed the hsdt prototype. One of those, a couple of research centre laboratory cars, a apt-p power car and experiment at the other end and my overdraft would be hitting record Levels!

Nick G Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 what I really want is 24133, in blue with odd ends. Or 24049 or 24055, both with head code box at one end only! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) As an aside, the Scottish centre headcode disc jobby in blue, would this be suitable for a renumber to 24073? Edited April 12, 2017 by The Ghost of IKB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Or 24049 or 24055, both with head code box at one end only! They would be good, but the big advantage of 24133 is it lasted until almost the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Philip: 'Yep. 24073 ex-SCR with centre aligned discs lasted till September 1978 in a bad external condition (resurrected off the scrap line to help out the LM)'.

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted April 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Well I've just placed my votes after this evenings email from SLW. It looks like the Highland 24/1s are on their way and unusual livery variants - I had no idea that there were blue small yellow class 24s (two of them existed). The choices are 1. BSYP 2. Two tone green small yellow panel 3.BFYE Glasgow style front end 4. Research department red/blue 5 Crewe built green small yellow 6. Green full yellow panel 7. Highland 24/1 green small yellow headcode box 8. Highland pre tops 24/1 headcode box blue full yellow Looks like SLW are going to get a large chunk of my railway budget in the forthcoming years. Great work. Neil Edited April 12, 2017 by Downendian 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work. Neil Knowing my luck they all be released at the same time and my credit card will groan.... Seriously, I think the derby research red/blue will be the top seller, so that's got a vote from me...also voted for the highland blue, but would maybe prefer one of the running numbers to be a post tops, both are the original running numbers... 3 votes in total...that's my 24 fleet complete.... now what about my 25's...?

Nick G Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Knowing my luck they all be released at the same time and my credit card will groan.... From the voting page "Releases will always be spaced to spread any cost - allowing you vote and budget for more than one option if so desired". The vote is to gauge interest so possibly some won't be released at all if the model doesn't have enough interest. So some may be removed from the list and other variants added. The idea is you vote for the model you want to see released. The Facebook page has been updated with the voting so far: This morning's standings were as follows: A - 2% B - 5% C - 5% D - 9% E - 4% F - 4% G - 7% H - 10% Don't read too much into this - it's very early days! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of IKB Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Will there still be an announcement this weekend? There's lots of hits of other bigger stuff under development in addition to the continuing production of 24s. So what's it going to be? A bigger loco like a class 40 or a bigger loco like something in 7mm was scale? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
