Ted. Looking good. Just need a take of haa coal wagons or a few

I do already have about 50 HEAs in black, bauxite and red/grey.

But I'm eagerly awaiting the re-release of Farish HAA's later this year!

I have 6x 56s and 6x 58s, so what's that ... ~360 HAA's needed? About 6 grand then.

Yeah, I'm stupid but not that stupid.

I think I might treat myself to 4 rakes instead of a full 12!

Sounds cool ted. And the loads in them. Quite a good collection accrued

Not quite sure why I need a Black 5 in LMS livery, apart from the fact they've always appealed to me.

Who wouldn't want a black five?

crewearpley40 · July 12, 2020, 06:57:34 PM

They are fine locos. Even I have one myself

The question is not: "Why do I need a Black 5?"...

...but rather: "Why have I only got one Black 5?"

It's a Stanier, why wouldn't you? But, be warned, I started with the exact same model. This leads onto the Jubilees, and another '5', then the Coronations.

The LMS Black 5, the original gateway drug.

On my list too. I had a driver experience on the one at GCR a few years ago so I have to have it.

Latest release date is September this year I think. Can't wait.

Newportnobby · July 13, 2020, 02:53:57 PM

Originally due June but the latest Farishspeak is things are running about 90 days late so Sept looks on (at present)

You are a way!

Newportnobby · July 13, 2020, 03:17:33 PM

I think you meant 'wag' but am uncertain.
At least Farish do speak sometimes. Anyone know the latest on Dapol's Bulleid light pacific or Gaugemasters class 73?
If so, maybe you could let Dapol and Gaugemaster know please?

emjaybee · July 13, 2020, 03:20:42 PM

Yes.

Frickin' oslo-collect.
