I've got a green one on its way now I've never really liked the westerns in green so it will be interesting to see it before it goes to its new home

 

[Phill Dyson]

Could we see some pics of individual ones please ?

 

[Dog Star]

I want one!.......I want one!!.........I want one!!!

Just the one?

Surely you mean one plus one plus one being three ?

All in Maroon as well .

I picked up about 30 yesterday in all 5 colours. Fishing today but will post some pickys tomorrow if im not beaten to it.
Noticed a couple of minor faults on a quick inspection last night.
Angle where works plate fits is not deep enough so an etched plate has to go over join in paneling
Front corners around cab windows are silver, they should be body colour ( only checked a maroon one here)
All in all they look pretty good although a little fragile around bogies and those lamp irons look as though they might snap off if you sneezed a bit close to them

Both yours & Crompton Castle's pics would be most welcome Warren

I agree with the fragility of certain parts, the plastic mouldings fixed to the under side are particularly easy to knock off.
Having said that it's a great model.
See my thread for more pictures. Steve O gauge layout Projects. In the layouts section.

The brake rodding is made of a very springy plastic, so no worries there.

I saw that pic of SIX and thought, "Crikey, what does THAT guy do for a living????"

LOL

I'm a stockist Jeff, only one is mine. Although I wish I could have at least another one.

Faults or no faults, don't you think the Guv would have been thrilled to bits to see this offering?

 

[alcazar]

Yes.

Tell you what though, it's only taken a day or so and they are all over ebay, best price I've seen is £445 post free.

 

[clarky]

The chaps at Tower said they were selling out really fast

 

[alcazar]

Still loads on ebay.

This idea of making EVERY model a sort of limited edition is doing my head in.
