I see that they're doing weathered versions

will it be like the 141 weathering ?

 

No samples yet. And of course don't forget modelshopbelfast.com and Grahams Toymaster offer their usual top quality weathering at source so you can get any running number weathered as new.

 

:cool:

Well hopefully the factory weathering will be better than on the 141's :D

As bad as the weathering on the 141s was they're still my favourite of all the locos I have. The weathering really enhances the details, however, I think that I'll leave that job to the professionals and get the Model Shop to weather some of the 071s for me.

Surely yours won't be "weathered as new" - more like "weathered as old and knackered"..? :tumbsup:

Lads, does anyone know how many of each 071 will be produced ?

 

I might well be wrong on this, but I believe the usual run is 512 of each running number. I'm sure Mr. Bracken will confirm or correct.

Dave is MM5232 going to be released in the Galway livery as that is the livery it carried during it's final years in service, and it would still have a black roof.
