Silver fox models, worth it or no?

[derek]

Lads, lads. You do realise that no announcement has actually been made yet?

Thanks for the feedback all, certainly interesting to get some different perspectives and answers!

At the moment I’ll probably put buying a silver fox model on the back burner until I decide what to do (or at least until I get back from holiday next week)

Despite not being 100% accurate livery wise, I’m definitely eyeing up one of their Black and Tan C class models, that or some Orange cement bubbles (or the correct answer which is both let’s be honest)

 

Many thanks

Seriously @George? Did you not read the hundred or so posts above?

I suspect used Silverfox ones will suddenly become more widely available at low prices now

Well, if the message is clear it will be 18 months or so before the “announcement” or possibly the “delivery”, so I think they will hold their value for a bit of time yet.

I enjoyed making my Black and Tan one.

Cheers

I’d say it (as good as) has!

Haha, I did, so I’ll probably get some cement bubbles and wait for something better to arrive. That method definitely worked with the NIR 101

To my mind, good things are worth waiting for!

If you're happy to wait about 18 months for something a lot better to come out, then I would if I were you.... 

Fair play.

I'm working on a pair of power bogies for mine at the moment! What will be will be, but I'll have mine sooner than 18 months.
