I contacted Rails about this and they said it may take several weeks for them to complete the process from Hattons. They told me they will be reaching out to those to placed pre-orders for them. So we wait a little more....

Has Rails made up with Hornby or something? https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/hornby

@WRENNEIRE @Noel Merry Christmas to you and to everyone on here. I hope everyone has a enjoyable day.

They also had MM5217, by the time I hopped on there, drat, gone.

Rails have also put them on their website, https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/murphy-models

https://www.thedrive.com/news/watch-the-retired-big-boy-steam-train-rescue-a-stalled-freight-train-in-nebraska Pretty cool to have a Big Boy come to the rescue of a freight train

Sorry to hear this, RIP

I stumbled across this article where the Big Boy is currently coming east bound - https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/2023-schedule-union-pacific-big-boy-returns-to-steam-with-its-home-run-express/?fbclid=IwAR3Uy6WBRYajVZ4KpqIGQ-tHPR-_SoyR9Igs3uGsIBPoexBApjHFUxVwVQw In case someone just happened to be in Iowa or Nebraska.

Not sure if anyone is interested in getting a Dapol Class 59, I was watching them for a while as it is a loco I love to own, curses Hattons, had to pull the trigger and get one, at this rate, my credit card will never recover - https://www.hattons.co.uk/directory/versiondetails/article?id=308&utm_source=klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=flashsale-modvehid1858-dapolclass59&_kx=ZbJe5uNpQjBDTO7dQJjA8Whif6nhu5M76nFk8Vt9LKratwpFjwwesSxtsYwMv0Rh.JGQeXh

@BosKonay awesome thanks for the update

I think there is a queue for that original RPSI set, I am also keeping eyes peeled for about 12 months now for one. I had seen the one lately on Facebook, however the seller would not ship over here to me so the search continues.......

Quick question, @Warbonnet or @BosKonay I was just thinking, is there any update on the sound decoder for the A Class Crossley sound decoder? Figured I would poke the question.
