I will be getting a railfreight one as we have had one in this livery
with disc head codes on the retooled model

Pleased with this announcement, though I will probably wait until a SYP version is released.

Good news for N Gauge. With various Farish re-liveries, the brand new tooled Halls and now this, its more proof that the manufacturers have not forgotten us.

The sound is too generic.


One day my final sound loco will be a properly fitted 37 that just growls.

They exist... my $$$ does not.

They must sell an awful lot of these considering all the love they get.

McChoppers! Count me in!

but they did mention drs 20/3 in the video....

Sorry. I was only thinking of current locos offered. All the newfangled stuff is beyond my modelled eras and therefore does not exist in my universe

I'm not sure how popular they would be and if it would be commercially viable, but i thought that about class 17/28/23, and this would have an existing chassis to use.

anyway great to see.

but id rather it was a class 25/3!

Won't be interested myself.  I already have 2 green, one blue and one Freight Grey to meet the needs of my 2 small layouts.  Now if they had come out with a 105 DMU in green and blue I would be placing my order for one of each with Tim at Arcadia.

Well, if you will insist on eating as well...

Having only recently started acquiring a (very) few diesels into my roster under Rule 1, I may well get one as they do look rather nice... Basically I am always happy to see any British N announcement no matter what.

Actually what I would like now is an RTR L&Y loco as I have just completed a short rake of L&Y wagons and don't want to have to build a loco to pull those which.... would only be built on a roundtuit basis anyway....
