Yay, Hallelujah!
A truly iconic diesel for me. I always admired HJs 7mm version and this looks to be even better.
I understand that the Barwell team are also revisiting their version? Which I also love so it will be good to be able to see how another maker tackles it.
Cheers,
John

I wonder if Heljan’s tendency of announcing announcements allowed Bachmann to steal their thunder this time? Plenty of people online ordered the Bachmann version yesterday.

I'd be tempted by 45133 in blue... wouldn't say I've driven it but I have moved it and worked on it ;)
