Not often I post in here 'cos I'm a miserable old git, but in the latest Farish announcements they're doing another run of the C class 0-6-0 tender loco, INCLUDING THE GORGEOUS SECR  LIVERY!!

I just wish they'd bitten the bullet and gone for the original Wainwright livery rather than another run of the simplified version but at least another run suggests there is demand for pre grouping liveries 

Rails advised today they have the C class in stock so my pre-ordered SECR liveried should be with me in the next few days

Hmmm... Rails have taken my money for the pre-ordered hoppers already - but no news yet on the C-class. Hope I have not been gazzumped ( I did pre-order...).

No news on my C class either, Colin.
I checked the Bachmann website yesterday and it didn't say 'Arrived' so maybe Rails jumped the gun a bit

No monies taken so no delivery advice
Have e mailed 'em

Meanwhile, on the SECR front and huge thanks to @Bob G for signposting it, I paid what is probably over the odds for one of these but I really wanted one and it was £30 cheaper than the last one I saw on FleaBay.
It's on it's way so here's a stock pic........

Hoping that they are just behind in getting their backlog cleared. They have taken the money for my hoppers and those have moved from pre-orders to order history, however the order is  currently marked as "unfulfilled",

Have been advised the pre order will be processed and despatched shortly. They appear to have been swamped with arrivals
