6 weeks until Chinese New Year

Going by current promises I'd like to think the Farish 372-775A C class in SECR livery and my 4 car + 3 car Revolution tube stock will have been despatched before then.
I doubt there's any point in asking Dapol for an update on the Bulleid light pacific and Mogul as they probably don't know the answer.
Anyone else got pre orders due Qtr 1 this year?

Dapol's latest batch of class 33s were due Q4 2025... now down as Jan 2026

Rapido's class 45/46 peaks are flagged for Q1 2026...

Revolution's 313 PEP units are due late Q1 2026...
Revolution's PTA/JUA/JTA 102T tipplers are also due late Q1 2026... IIRC

I'm not tracking anything else due soon.

Light pacific locos were flagged for Q2 2026
The GW Manor and GW mogul I've heard anything from Q2 to Q4 2026
The Ivatt tank is flagged for Q4 2026. It seems to have been forgotten in the rush to cut new metal (Minitrix version launched 1976, First Dapol version launched 2006 (30 year gap), and now a 20 year gap before the upgraded version).

Yep, I have two Farish BR Green sound fitted V2s incoming, according to the Bachmann website due Jan/Feb 2026. Hopefully accurate, all other V2s have so far arrived as scheduled.

I also have one of the newly announced Farish Halls, "Kinlet Hall" sound fitted due Feb/March, again hopefully accurate, as to have a chance of meeting the date they must be on the boat or close to it.

So, overall not going to be a cheap quarter for me!

Often forgotten C-Rail FSA/FTA flats are very advanced and apparently being chased daily (or so I was told at the NEC in November).

Revolution's PTA/JUA/JTA 102T tipplers are also due late Q1 2026... IIRC

That would be a little pricy if accurate, but at the same time welcome.
