Doesn't have the lowered cab roof so not 100% accurate.

Hi Gang,

Well done to Kernow for wrong-footing us all and allowing us to predict a GWR Green 150.
Well played team Kernow.

Looks a great little mode, of which I have no use for.
But when has that ever stopped me??

Later,

Sorely tempted...

But currently have my biggest ever pre-order list, and I gave into an eBay spurge last month....

Oh well, as I said elsewhere, first world problems!

Not any more, was born and lived in Lake and Sandown, but still visit every year as I have plenty of family who still live there. Would move back tomorrow if wasn't for family ties I have.

Have you seen the price of a DCC decoder to fit?

I think a Zimo MX616N should fit, they are 32 quid. Tiny decoders are expensive though.

I think the Bachmann one is an MX616N.

[Izzy]

All Zimo prices seem to be going up with the arrival of the new MS series sound decoders, but all the Bachmann badged Zimo's carry a price premium as well.

The price of this new version 03 plus the decoder makes the NGS Hunslet with it's included decoder look an absolute bargain doesn't it!

It does Izzy, but a direct comparison of locos would be a bit unfair I suppose,  after all the Hunslet was exclusive to members and didn't have to make a profit for the NGS or an importer whereas the 03 or 04 need to include a margin for manufacturer, Bachmann Europe and retailers.

The price of the Bachmann chip is a bit eye watering though for sure even compared to the Zimo

[Tank]

I've had mine for about 6 years, by Mercig, so I'll pass on this one.     Only photo I have to hand.....

[Skyline2uk]

First person I thought of Tank.

The second being Ian.

The third being any poor soul who had perviously asked Ian to do an 03 in toothpaste after seeing yours

Maybe Kernow will get the hint and commission a GWR 150 or 57604...
