Diesel Multiple Units
Class 251 Western Pullman (REVISED TOOLING TO CAB FRONT)
Metropolitan Cammell (Birmingham) built 2 x six-car Pullman Diesel Multiple Units (TOPS code Class 251) between 1959 and 1960. The two six-car units worked between London St. Pancras and Manchester on the Blue Pullman service. Following electrification of the West Coast Main Line, Pullman services between London and Manchester transferred to the new electric railway for which new coaches were built. The two units were transferred to the Western Region in 1966 where they worked alongside 3 x eight-car units. The former Midland Region units were fitted with cables on the cab front to enable the two units to be coupled together and they received a revised BR livery adopted for Pullman services of grey and blue (reversed corporate livery). All Class 251 units were withdrawn in May 1973.
371-742 Western Pullman 6-Car Unit in Grey/ Blue British Rail Pullman livery
Revised Tooling to allow the later Western Region version of the 6-car former Blue Pullman unit to be modelled, as working on the Western Region of British Rail (1966 to 1973)
Class 158
165 x two-car and 17 x three-car units were built between 1989 and 1992 for the Regional Railways division of British Rail by British Rail Engineering Ltd at Derby. They have seen service with a considerable number of operators including current operators Abellio ScotRail, Arriva Trains Wales, East Midlands Trains, GWR, Northern and South Western Railway. This will be an all new model benefitting from our research conducted on the 4mm scale model.

Interested in the 350 in TPE livery which one though ? early or later

Nowt new for SR unless you count a retooled N class, I've already made and fitted my own smoke deflectors; why am I not surprised??

so lets see...

curious about the castle pullman digital sound set....

steam: - southern n class? yes thanks! and a new LMR WD? yes thanks!

Diesel:- alycidon i will take! 3 car sound 108? aye why not! class 170, 350 in tpe express, 450 in south west trains and a 158 in regional? may take 2 of them!

nothing in coaches for me, may get a rake of maroon hawksworths i dont know....

and the bluebell range of buidings from sheffield park? perfect for my layout at home!

yes nothing for the southern unless you want to shell out for the dcc sound version N class, a couple of versions of the olive  with / without sound would have been better , to run with the forthcoming birdcage stock

As I said on other thread,maroon Hawksworths good but I'll take the chocolate and cream SK. 

I do note the 370-160 Castle Pullman Digital Sound Train Set
First Digital Sound train set in N Scale, which will be interesting to see.

I welcome the n class in green but as it looks like it comes sound fitted maybe not for me.

Not much steam or transition era but then look back to last year with new coaches and locos announced. We can't have everything each year.

One day maybe dapol will produce the west country 

All

Appears to be be a bit of a consolidation year I welcome the new 158 tooling but the re-liveries and modern era wagons are a big let down second year in row no new toolings for wagons when they already have chassis the OTA is on paper a no brainer also no new class 37 re-liveries is a massive own goal given the popularity and appeal of these locos.
We can hope at least one of the big model shops does a 37 in a different livery from the list only the ZKV wagon in Dutch will tempt me from this range

Dave

A few of my predictions came to fruit:

White/blue 108 DMU
"Crewe cut" 47s
Maroon Hawksworth carriages

However pleasantly surprised that a TransPennine Express 350/4 EMU makes it on the list.

Also pleased that you can model Sheffield Park station 

I think it's interesting that Farish are to produce three-car Class 108s. , might they be tempted to do the same for 101s in the future? I have a 108 three-car already, but it's a little out of place for my location, so 101 would be better. That said, it's not a gripe, I think it's actually quite positive.

Alycidon is a welcome addition (I think will find it's way onto my layout at the head of the Queen of Scots) along with D1779.

377-476 China Clay Hood would seem to be the previously Kernow exclusive model.

The WD 2-8-0 in LMR Blue is interesting as well; is this the same version that was previously in the LMR set? Do we think it will sell that well?

I think it's a reasonably balanced set of releases. That said, as Lydgate opined, you can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time........

I would love a Midland Pullman but at £399-99 for the set Ive got no chance unless I rob a bank ,When you think that we will get our Pendolinos for less than that it makes you think .I cant very well ask the family to club together now to buy one for next Christmas that wouldnt be very fair .
They have allready said I can order the Black BR Collett Goods for my Birthday in March . I cant keep on begging .I will have to be happy with my cheapo version of the Blue Pullman with paper sides and Minitrix coach chassis pulled buy a Japaneese power chassis .
I doubt very much if I will ever buy any more new locos from Farish or Dapol as in my situation they have priced themselves out of the market even though the detailing is excelent the cheapest R R P for a loco from Farish is now £94-95 for the little Panier .Yes I know you can buy cheaper from the big box shifters.
I will just get the family to buy any GWR locos from Union Mills where you get a good solid loco without all the trimmings but will last me for the rest of my life thats for sure.

They did 3-car 108s in green and blue originally, in 2008, IIRC, and 2-car 108s in green (2008, 2009 and 2010), blue (2008, 2009, 2010), and blue-grey (2008).
Then they did 3-car 101s originally in green, blue and blue grey, in 2011, alongside 2-cars in green and blue in 2011, and all have been 2-cars since then. The 3 car 101 in green is especially rare to find second hand.

I think it was mainly to do with inflation / price rises that they dropped the centre car. Plus the "modern" liveries like blue grey on the 108 and NSE on the 101 didn't have the centre cars.

371-288 Class 55 No. 55015 'Tulyar' BR Blue

Arg! So close, but 55015 has to be in two-tone green for me.  A dearly missed friend was kind enough to let me drive (ok, play with) a 7 1/4 inch version which he would have been livid to see in blue!

That said, its nice for others that this model is going to be "First time a BR Blue liveried Deltic with white window surrounds has been modelled in N Scale". I will have to stick to my orginal plan of re-numbering the current "Pinza" model one day.

Skyline2uk

Ok so what will I have to save up for out of my meagre earnings 

371-112A Class 31 No. 31131 in BR Blue livery
371-850 Class 158 2-Car DMU No. 158849 in Regional Railways livery - mmm would've been better in NSE
371-034A Class 20 No. 20156 BR Railfreight Red Stripe
371-288 Class 55 No. 55015 'Tulyar' BR Blue
377-476 China Clay Wagon BR Bauxite with Hood Weathered
377-281 27 Ton ZKV Steel Tippler Wagon BR Grey & Yellow Weathered


That's about it really, oh and I'd love to have 371-742 Western Pullman 6-Car Unit in Grey/ Blue British Rail Pullman livery if my lottery numbers come up 

Cheers

Neal.

I believe that very few, if any, on the list will be in stores this year or next.


There's very little on the list that appeals to me, so MBH can look forward to 2028 (the year I predict they will be in stores,) being a year when we can afford a holiday in addition to all my model railways wants.


Even the few items that appeal won't all translate in to purchases:

371-660   Class 57/6 No. 57603 'Tintagel Castle' GWR livery - maybe.

371-725   Class 450 4-Car EMU No. 450073 in South West Trains livery - I'll get a cheapo 350 and bash it into a 450 in South Western Railway livery.

372-261DS   Class 47 No. 47727 'Rebecca' in Colas livery DCC Sound factory fitted to this model - I dunno, I dunno, I'm not yet convinced by sound.

372-429   WD Austerity 2-8-0 No. 79250 'Major-General Mc Mullen' LMR Blue - a weak maybe.

377-675B   100 Tonne JPA Cement Wagon VTG 'Lafarge Cement' Silver - rude not to as I have two of 377-675.

Farish have produced a three car Class 101 in the past (2011 IIRC)

Indeed, I should have clarified in the way that Bob G has. The 101 hasn't been available for a long time as a three-car (I have one, 371-512, but paid a price reflective of it's rarity).
