Title: GWR AT300 and the Virgin AZUMA - who will be first to model
Post by: Snowwolflair on March 18, 2016, 01:22:21 PM
GWR and Virgin have both opted for the Hitachi AT300. That is two liveries and I bet there will be more.

So who is going to be the first with an RTR model

Azuma (https://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/unveiling-new-virgin-azuma-train) eh? "Azuma" happens to mean "east" in Japanese, which is kind of appropriate for the line they'll run on. Hopefully Kato will see an opportunity to enter the British market...

Going to miss the old trains when they go. As for AT300s as a RTR model I'd like to have more 3rd Rail EMUs RTR. You can buy a Southern 171 but not a 377  :doh:
