Oh dear. Snap. I weakened in less than 3 1/2 hours and ordered D5905, based on longevity of use in my favourite livery.
I used to like going to Finsbury Park and wandering down to the Sheds. Usually lots of Deltics on shed, and Pullman "Doris" by the station.

Rule 1 ! within reason 

The class 23 is a bit niche but I hope it sells well.

Even the one Napier engine sounded awesome leaving Kings Cross and heading into Gasworks Tunnel

Is it in one hall ? It was in two halls for the 50th

I was going to say nothing for me here.


I have never seen any evidence of them on southern metals (despite having evidence for classes 15/16 from Stratford and 24/25/27 from Willesden)


But I'm still thinking about it. Might wait for the EFE cut price sale, as they did with class 41s earlier this year.

Thankfully years after expressing an interest in DJM ones it finally gets made 

Sound 37, 20 etc next please

Quote from: Carmont on February 04, 2026, 10:46:38 AMGraham Muz on RMWeb (Kernow product development chap) has stated that the Baby Deltic does not use anything from the previously touted DJM project, which suggests that Kernow are responsible for bringing this model to EFE.

Every EFE box I have has "distributed on behalf of KMRC" on it so much to thank that retailer for.

Been after a green DMU for a while so that's welcome and will find a home for a 23 too.

So for me, when I add in a 46 in the post somewhere too, it's a good day to be in n gauge.

An NEM coupling upgrade to their MK1 suburban would be a welcome future move to tie in with the Baby Deltic

Maybe a mod merge?

Yes a great idea, but it won't be Mick @Newportnobby doing the merging cos he's been wanting a baby deltic for years, and he'll be partying. I only hope his pacemaker keeps going 
 

I'm not nerging with any Mod!!    
D5905 green SYP pre ordered

P.S. Already got one built by @Dalteth of this parish

V2 60800 Green Arrow in BR green is a "must have" for me so I logged on to the "Collectors Club" part of the Bachmann site with great excitement to buy one, only to find that the sound fitted ones show "sold out". I am assuming that they are actually not in stock yet in reality, but am querying.
