Warley Video

REFaust · November 20, 2011, 06:09:35 PM

Hi All,

I've uploaded some video of products on display from Warley, featuring Farish, Dapol, The Pete Waterman Colletion and South West Trains. I know the last two are O gauge rather than N but thought it might be of interest.

Some layout videos will be added this week.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting. I noticed the sound locos didn't seem to be going at maximum volume as you sometimes find.
On the Farish stand. I never saw the new magnetic couplings they were supposed to be bringing out in August. I reckon the US have snaffled them all, even though it was a Farish UK idea.

Nice vid - thank you for posting

I must admit I was expecting more reports from Warley (as per TINGS) but what I have heard it seems to have been a bit of a scrum. I'm not sure whether I have missed a good/poor show. Regarding N gauge with sound - is it just me or is the sound not like I remember when I was a gricer, as I am really not sure I want sound if that is the best on offer

Thanks for the video. The Desiro's look good - do you know when they are available for sale and the price? Might be tempted - especially if there is a conversion kit to convert them to SWT (blue or white livery)

According to the Farish web site they are due in April/May with a list price of £150, which is the same as the 4-cep and that is available for about £120.

The 350 is well suited for use as a class 450 (the blue ones), the white 444's have a longer carriage length than the 350. From my research the 350 has a 3rd rail skid and the only conversion work to turn it into a 450 is the removal of the pantograph.
