Still awaiting the new or rather reworked 5MT & N Class with built in Sound, does the rework from 6pin to Next18 and factory fitting a speaker count as new 



NGM

I think that's a fair question. Arguably there is inevitably to be some "new" tooling in the tender but it is debatable whether that classes them as a "new" model, I would say they are improved existing ones.

I was meaning completely new steam models from the ground up. I look at the 00 range and ask what would I put through the "shrink ray" and I think the two most obvious would be the V2 and the 94xx...

Their Ivatt 2 Tank engine would make a nice addition to their Ivatt 2 Tender engine

My crimson livery 8F with sound has just been delivered. First impressions are excellent. Looking forward to test running it later but the detail on it is fabulous.

A re-tooled Crab rebuilt Merchant Navy would be nice.

I can't see Bachmann/Farish doing the Ivatt class 2 tank engine whilst Dapol have the tooling for one sitting on their shelves. Hopefully it'll follow the M7 with a chassis upgrade.

63, If I counted correctly that's only 2 more than your old 3Mt, which is more of an indication as to how good the 3MT is rather than anything against the 8F which is a superb model and probably their best to date.

NGM

The 3MT did 58, so 5 different, but yes, I think that it does show that the 3MT punched above its weight in this area.

Cheers,
Alan

Is that the collectors club version, when is the black one out with sound ?

Yes, it is the Collectors Club version. I believe the black with sound is due out anytime.

ok thanks 

To anyone who has now got the new 8f do the boiler handrails and knobs look thicker / heavier than those on duchess, 4f, standard 5 etc ?

Has anyone bought the version in LNER livery ?

Me, for one - the only way I could justify it on my LNER layout (it's a class O6 newly out-shopped from Darlington Works).

Had it test run before purchase by my preferred pusher model shop in York - runs sweet as a nut.
