And, a little birdy has just confirmed that mine is NOT one of the ones with the wrong loco in the box, so yaaaaaaaay!

DC Shuttle units are very simple - I bought one from you a while back! Two solenoids soldered to the track at the end of the line, and the shuttle controller connected in between your main controller and the track. DCC are something quite different.

My Class 89 has just shipped! Can’t wait to see it!

I think the depot needs an easier to spell name!

Same thing happened last night, @BosKonay fixed it this morning, but it’s no longer working now.

That’d be a huge shame, so fingers crossed. It doesn’t sound like they’re in tooling yet, based on Rails of Sheffield’s wording and the lack of pricing info.

They can only learn from this for the 47. I’m now even more keen to see my 60’s!

Just found it as you posted this - I had been looking at the Cavalex Class 60 thread, not the A/S one! Looks like the Cavalex Class 60 body sits too low on the chassis, compared to the A/S and Hornby models. Needs to be lifted up maybe 2mm with some kind of bracing to match the others. The Heljan Class 47 gets lumps kicked out of it for being too “tubby” and the Bachmann 47 for being crap inside for upgrades, having poor driving characteristics, and undesireable livery options. Hopefully, Cavalex get the 47 right, avoiding all of these pitfalls.

Mine can’t be far off, so! RMW is a pain for finding stuff, but will keep digging.

Have you booked your ferry tickets, yet?

A/S Class 60’s must be about to ship soon? Don’t have a Hornby one, so it will be Cavalex and A/S side by side. Some discussion on RMW of roof profiles. Some people say the Cavalex isn’t bulbous enough. Some people say the Hornby is too bulbous. Some say it’s the perspective of the image.

That’ll do, that’ll do… Although, if somebody could sneak in at night and change the plans to SuperTrain, I wouldn’t complain. Or 071 / B134 style freight grey.

Are Cavalex that bad for accuracy overall? My Class 60 hasn’t arrived yet so I can’t comment on that, but aside from the 56 bogies, I don’t remember seeing much else on RMW - although I have to admit that the volume of posts in there makes it hard to keep up. What would the other stand-outs be?

I probably won’t bother with another 56 either way, re-tooled or not. So, by the time the 47 arrives, the Bachmann and Heljan models will be long sold-out. At least they got the timing perfect!
