RMweb Premium Hippo Posted July 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 11, 2019 This months Model Rail dropped through the door yesterday and the new big announcement is with Heljan they are tooling a Class 11. Looks like 14 different liveries including pre-war, post-war, Longmoor and industrial. They are also doing 5 class 12's which will include detail differences like the Bulleid 'Boxpok' wheels. More info in Model Rail 263 (August). I'm sure Chris @dibber25 will be along soon to tell us more. I'm definately interested in the ICI and NCB loco's 9 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Excellent news, we had 2 of these at Cambridge (12134 & 12136). That just leaves an E4 2-4-0 and my stud will be complete! (Though a few could do with updating). Stewart 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

royaloak Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Oh goody, one of each please, one weathered green and ine weathered blue, so that would be MR-513 and MR-604 possibly an MR-508 as well. Edited July 11, 2019 by royaloak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted July 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2019 Ooo very nice. makes sense as there’s not too many shunters that would be viable left to do, but these offer a huge range of geography and purpose. I wonder if an NS, DB,DSB, VR are on the list or if it is left to the Roco version to cover Europe (though some have been repatriated)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted July 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 11, 2019 Oh dear, says my credit card. 3 locos look very interesting, a class 11 , a (G)WR 350 and a class 12 all in green with wasp ends. The class 12 is a nice surprise and the WR locos even bigger surprise. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted July 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2019 Good choice of prototype and I'm up for at least one. The first MR release that will go on my 'definite 'need'' list rather than 'nice to have'. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the picture in model Rail, yes it is in that livery, the 6 on the cab end is clearly visible and it is just possible to make out the 6 (and only the 6) on the numberplate.

(CJL) Everyone knows you’re a man of taste. Perhaps its time will come if the GT3 project comes to fruition. Perhaps a prompt will come from a different direction with all the requests for early AC electrics. Design a tooling that could produce a Class 80 and 18100 and suddenly people will want 18000 too. Won’t they? Especially when they hear another turbine sound project? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted July 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) One of my 'Three Most Wanted', the Class 11, Johnson 2F and Stanier 2-6-2T is to be produced.

JSpencer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Excellent news. I will go for this pair: MR-501: WD green, 70271 --> should go well with the rail gun. The loco was involved in a sad incident on the LMR in 1956 though. MR-603: BR green, wasp stripes, 15224 --> hard time choosing which of the Bulleids. They did not last long enough in Blue. Black was a choice too, however this particular loco had a rich history and is preserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t they? Especially when they hear another turbine sound project? I love 18000's looks but I sometimes wonder if I would have enjoyed how it sounded or smelled. Having lived under the Heathrow flightpath for half my life, I guess the sound and the smell might be all too familiar! However, 18000 would be a bit big and too streamlined for Model Rail. We've just done a steam loco that looks like a garden shed, now we're doing a diesel that looks like a bunch of tin lockers nailed together! I guess what it lacked in beauty, it made up for with pretty colour schemes - and there are loads to choose from!. (CJL) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
