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.

As the djm 23 was merely at a CAD stage I would be amazed if it was used as a basis, we saw with kr and the king that buying CAD's from someone else does not always work, easier to start again. But hopefully EFE will work through the DJM plans and a King and Q6 might yet appear

Think my wallet is mostly safe except for the mail coaches.

Got a perfectly good kit built baby deltic and no reasonable excuse to run it either.

I was tempted by the 2-car Green Class 101 until I realised it was the Power-Twin version. Hopefully they will announce a 3-car version in the near future to add to my existing model.

The only thing for me from this announcement is the Era-5 Post Office Sorting Van.

I seem to recall Finsbury Park was a fairly modern, clean depot with raised platforms at loco door level, whereas Stratford was a large, rambling, clinker open space with a few old sheds

Seriously, I hope it does well, as it seems to have had a lot of requests or suggestions.

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.
