It's all good if you like or model pre grouping southern stuff, what about the rest of us? ;-)

I'm shocked at how expensive that power station stuff is though! It would look awesome as a corner feature on my layout, but I can't justify the massive price tag! The GC signalbox and water tower are a tad more affordable though, as are a few other bits that will surely be finding their way onto Sherwood Central over the coming months if I can lay off buying locos!

I hear ya. It is about 200 for the set of power station buildings. Ridiculous.

Nothing of interest for me this year, although given the amount of stuff we are still waiting for from last year, perhaps that is just as well.

Quite disappointed to see that the Castle and auto-coach have not even started development yet and the 64xx is only at the drawing stage. 

it will soon be time for the march 2015 catalogue anyway....

Yes and no extra liveries for the Hawksworth coaches either.

Very, very disappointed that there is no mention of a SWT Desiro  :'(.

Interesting to see the Southern Turbostar return - wonder if it will have directional lighting and be free of the split-gear issues?

All in all, pretty much a bummer for anyone that like the current day passenger trains

I really thought the 64xx was quite close, and have one on pre-order from Hattons at the pre increase price.

My availability of model funds is not what it was so I will have to be more picky about what I spend on.
As for the new buildings I think they will always appeal to those who do not the skills or desire to scratchbuild, but can afford them. I think they are good buildings but becoming just too expensive for many people.

If Dapol get the Grange out pretty smartish, they may well take some of the cash put aside for Farish products that many expected to be available shortly.

I'm not sorry to see no new Desiro liveries - all the more vinyls for me to sell!! 

Don't know if the 158 or 170 will be upgraded - if the GWR Railcar is being made DCC-ready then they may upgrade the other old GF DMUs.

I'm waiting for the DRS 37 and NR 57 from last catalogue. That's why I'm half glad they are not releasing a great deal this year.
I would have liked to have seen a colas 70, and a new class 172, plus some more 47 and class 60 liveries.......
Oh well, always next year.....

Guys

Not much for me here maybe the Railfreight class 20 and outside possibility of NSE coaches really disappent there are no Regional Railways or Scotrail ones and no new modern wagons.
The buildings see to be the showstoppers. Again as stated previously the high cost maybe prohibitive.
On the subject of the power station buildings I have a few questions and suggestions.

1. Can these be used to model other industrial sites eg steelworks, cementworks etc?
2. Is the chimney scale height correct? looks a bit short from the picture shown!

A good money saving tip is model the Scottish power stations as they don't have cooling towers. Coal sector 26,37,56.

I am already planning a Methil Powerstation diaorama based on new buildings

Kind regards

Dave

If you go to their website and click on the product categories,  NEW is written on the left against the new items. I think that other site is juat grouping everything together.

Oh Gawd, Richie
My poor wallet thought it was safe until I espied the weathered green class 20 and the new green class 47
Resist, I must

Resistance is futile...
Use the force Mick.. or maybe even the credit card!
After all.. if you don't preorder the price WILL go up or there will be none left! :'(

Mark

GREEN diesels!!! Resistance is indeed futile!!! 

Like the sound of those "Birdcage" coaches in Olive green, am surprised they are doing the Merchant Navy in Malachite as BR rather than Southern, rules it out for me, come on Dapol get on with the BoB/WC, well I can but hope!

My shop of choice (Rails) only hold their price for pre-orders for 1 year after the order date.
I believe Hattons have no time limit - can anyone confirm this please?
Sods law states if I pre-order those 2 they won't appear for 12 months and 1 minute

Hi

Rails have recently changed theirs to state that the price will be at least 15%-25% off RRP.

Cheers
