The Model Railways of Oly Turner and Chris Matthews 
I don’t ever give enough of a sh*t to pre-order anything.
This… this is different.
What one(s) have you gone for mate? I’ve gone for the pair of NCB 16″. The lined NCB one is the must have I reckon…
Lovely.
But £99 is a bit out of my price range. Did you see the comment from the guy who’s ordered four Barclays and three Ps? What are the odds on at least five of those being listed on eBay early in the new year….. 😦
People are bonkers, sometimes when I read these posts online saying they will have this and that I always think I need their jobs. That or the next financial crisis will actually be triggered by model train nutters buying thousands of uneeded models on credit?!
Aye, folks can go a bit radio rental for pre-order stuff.
That said, the NCB pair are on order on this occasion. Just hope Chris Gibbon does a chassis for them, given it’s likely going to be a DJM production…
Mate we believe it’s not a DJM project, it’s the same firm they used with the Warflats, which are ace. A good sign is the preproduction models are not the same plastic as DJM and the detail is too fine. I think we might be in luck with this one.
Hoping for an easy re-gauge then although the crosshead clearance could be tight…
