Great news today! Cavalex Class 47 is now in tooling: ”JANUARY 2026 UPDATE Cavalex are pleased to report that their all-new Class 47 project is progressing nicely through the tooling stage, so they have therefore now confirmed pricing for the entire range! This mammoth collection of Class 47s is now available to pre-order at £209.95 for the DCC Ready models and £309.95 for the DCC Sound versions. On top of this, Cavalex have revealed some colour renders and full livery artwork for the full range - including our expansive range of Rails & Railway Icons exclusive editions. Cavalexhave received first shots off the tooling for the model and hope to share these soon.” Taken from this piece HERE. Intercity Executive livery for me, please!!!

And this:

It’s a bit faster the past few minutes. Was woeful for an hour or two before midnight.

Forum brutally slow the last few hours. @BosKonay must be winding it down before merging it with RMW! Happy New Year everybody!

Probably one of IRM / Accurascale’s best locos. No loose bits in any of the three boxes, nice bit of weight to the locos themselves, and the level of detail is top notch. The 201’s are lambasted as “peat briquettes” by some of the begrudgers on here, but looking at an IRM / A/S Class 66 up close throws that insult right out the door. Savage looking models!

Don’t worry, Valencia is just as far from Canarias as Laois, for all intents and purposes, so you’re safe… For now!

Three variants of the Heljan O Gauge Mk2 coach range now on offer at £166 GBP plus VAT, so £34 GBP cheaper than the rest of the range That includes an FK: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/heljan-2431-network-southeast-light-blue-mk2-first-corridor-fk-passenger-coach https://railsofsheffield.com/products/heljan-2411-network-southeast-mk2-brake-second-open-bso https://railsofsheffield.com/products/heljan-2412-network-southeast-dark-blue-mk2-brake-second-open-bso

A box of AccuraJoy arrived the other day…

Feck your horse, I’ve a Honda Civic outside. Out with your claws, Leslie… Just like a cat!

If I was, they’d be on the ground already!

My Christmas tree, or the closest thing possible:

Tried just before 2300h and it was painfully slow. Again now at 0230h, so slow that some icons etc don’t even load.

Contact Silver Fox and ask them directly. They had stopped doing the DVT’s last I heard, and were experimenting with new materials. With Murphy Models’ Mk3’s likely in the near future, including Suburban variants, and no DVT, it may be the right time for Silver Fox to run a batch of then.

Well, Merry Christmas to all on the forum! Best wishes to you, your families and friends. White-ish Christmas this year, but more investigation remains to be done.

Hit and miss today. Right now, it’s grand, and has been so for an hour or two at least, but was dog-rough earlier today.
