w124bob Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Well going on the full fat cl 24 price of £325, my guess would be at least the same. I'll be ordering some from the pre TOPS batch, I notice that the side bar piece hints at more to come after the first batch of 8 ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about teasing and making us wait to place the orders!! I can guess which phone number is going to be BUSY tomorrow! ... suits me. I can now browse the menu at leisure before picking my choices and ordering.

Max Legroom Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Regarding the pasties and haggis comment, I’m guessing that WR and ScR versions are coming at some point. I wonder if they will do one of the batch with steam heat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted February 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2021 Came so close to ordering two Heljan 25s today, glad I didn’t and some SLW 25s can now join my six 24s Roy 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted February 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2021 3 hours ago, brushman47544 said: But I do have a question for the Rat experts. Heljan is advertising 25155 in BR blue as a “WR” version. Is this just because it is modelled as it was when allocated to the WR for a period, or are there detail differences with “WR” locos - in which I might wait for that version. Early western region diesels had different lamp brackets to fit the old GWR head and tail lamps, they were side mounted rather than at the back. I’m not sure when they reverted to BR standard brackets but I would assume in the mid 70’s after the hydraulic’s had been withdrawn. I’m sure others will clarify this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but there were two designs of red/white warning flash - the 1961 original (upward-pointing arrow head with single electrical flash below) and the c1978 update (two electrical flashes sans arrow head). SLW used the correct older design on their Class 24 (I just checked!) 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Will you be able to replace head codes with domino's for these, if so can these be obtained or are they supplied? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the correct early style on the livery illustration below, so it is surely very likely to be correct on the production models - I can't see SLW slipping up over something like that.

Opelsi Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) That will be a Blue one for me with Domino's - thanks SLW. Going to go for the Sound fitted option as always hankered for a rat sound. Worried about ending up with a rat infestation though, given 4 Bachmann and 2 Heljan ones in similar liveries in due course, not to mention a Heljan ETHEL - quick, call 'Pest-o-Blast' before it gets out of hand and I end up with a SLW ETHEL3 too! My only regret is nobody has done a Class 25/0 yet as I would absolutely love one of these RTR though won't hack a model as I know I always make a mess!

Michael Hodgson Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The two-tone green looks very nice, but I would have preferred the early version, with green ends. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris56057 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) The 25 doesn't really fit into the era I model, nonetheless I'll probably be pre-ordering one of these once I've decided on which livery. This level of detail and finesse is like nothing we've seen before. Edited February 25, 2021 by Chris56057 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Oooooo! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of these! The 24 being absolutely exceptional, I've always thought the 25 was the logical progression, and thankfully that's now a reality! D7628 is one of my favourite locos and hopefully I'll be able to add the ultimate model example to my fleet eventually! Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Ive got to admit its refocussed my attention. For a start it looks like a 25.., the cab windows/door shape catches my eye, the Heljan one felt a bit flat fronted and lacking something.. this one definitely has it. I was waivering over a couple of Heljan 25’s, which could gave tumbled into several...but it was that niggling caution “wait until you see it” that held me back from ordering.. however this one i’d ready to go.. just have to see if the price tag whacks me in the face and knocks me flat first..
