We should have opportunity to see it on a rolling road, and maybe hear it tomorrow. Hi If you go to the Legoman biffo stand . You can ask to hear the Gt3 sound . they have it in a rail car. I listened to it. I was very impressed. Really good sound and not to over powering . John 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 They do look good but are the samples on show motorised and has anyone seen one move? One of the main concerns was the design of the drive system which different numbers of gears driving each axle? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one that moved was the 121 bubble car on the Legomanbiffo stand that had the sound chip fitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post adb968008 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) When first announced I was concerned of the mechanics of this project, who, what, where, when and how, over the last year my reservations weren't convincingly addressed, which was a bit frustrating as a potential customer. It was worrysome, to pay to a paypal account who’s only source was a POBox in remote Canada. Its time to give credit where its due.. They have produced a very good EP. It exists, a 4 part body, and tender. Ive held it today, its good, its heavy. Keith explained they have two different drive mechanisms to test. The loco will have its headcode disks changed to allow different configurations and lights. The air intakes are to be flushed a bit more. They are doing the right thing. I now have businesses cards, with contact addresses in the UK and Canada. They have a delivery plan. Finally Keith is quite hospitable in person. Theyve gone a long way in a year, further than some others. So no more excuses, all concerns addressed, its time to put money where my mouth is, today my order is in paid in full, by Credit Card. If you want one you don't have long left to place an order. For some on this forum, maybe its time to make peace with this project and support it.

Thanks for the up close pictures and the information. Gutted I couldn't be at warley this weekend to see it in person. But the progress since I saw it in October is great. Is the sound project being done by legomanbiffo? If so I may regret not going for the sound version. Glad to see the feedback on what needs to be improved and the info around the mechanism. It's shaping up to be a great GT3. Many thanks Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Gary Yes Legomanbiffo is doing the sound chip. He had a sample fitted to a 121 bubble car at Warley. I only preordered a DCC ready version but after hearing it I'm going to email them to upgrade before the book closes. Only the chassis/performance remains to be seen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spool up was very nice and the turbine not to over powering. There was brake squeal,whistle two diffrent ones i think ,buffer clank and guards whislte. I would say worth the money . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oleander Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 To day I ordered a sound version. Every Time I passed the KR Models stand it was packed. When it was first anonced I was not sure. But affter seeing the model to day i was convinced this will be a great model. For thoes who are still thinking. All I can say is I am glad that I have ordered. Seeing the model sold it. On great idea I saw on the model is the way the eletrical conection is made between the loco and the tender. Very nice idea . Also the way they are going todo the lights. You lift or lower the disks to select which lights you want on John 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one out they would allow people to handel etc so it was never coupled to the tender. Given the rest of the quality of the loco I would think it will be able to handle a good load on the end of the tender. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something incorrect in the siting of the handrail stanchions in that they don't coincide with the panel joints. There should be an end stanchion against each panel joint for each panel; as modelled, it would not be possible to lift the individual roof panels. Regards, John Isherwood.

Mad McCann Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 It looks highly impressive. I assume this is a pay up front project then. I only ask as I’m heavily committed with various situations and won’t likely have much disposable income until spring. Davy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
