Bumble_Bee Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Gorgeous!!! I can't remember if I ordered A36 or A54 but either way both of them look gorgeous, cant wait to see what those day-glo panels are like 1 1 Quote
connollystn Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 @Warbonnet - Yesterday you said; Look out for more pics in the coming days... [sic] - is today not one of those days? PS.

gm171 kk Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Hate to ask this before the current models even arrive but... Will there be a possibility of the two A classes that ran preserved on the mainline being released in model form? (A3r and A39). 1 Quote

Although, yes, it would be lovely to see her in her nineties silver livery when IRM do a re-run! Quote

Galteemore Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) It’s a heavily disguised A class for a late 60s movie contract - Darling Lili - starring a very poorly J15, No 184, which could manage enough steam to make an impression but not move very much. The A was disguised to provide starting and stopping power. I understand it worked some service trains in this guise in between takes. Edited June 22, 2021 by Galteemore 1 Quote

DJ Dangerous Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Ah, it was disguised for a movie? I couldn't figure out why they'd have covered the cabs up like that in regular service! Surely you could whip one of those together in your sleep, @Georgeconna Quote
connollystn Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 It's not the worst disguise I've seen - the Lima 33 was disguised as an A class, a tad less convincing than that A16 in it's luggage van outfit. Wonder if it got invited to many Hallowe'en parties? 1 1 Quote

murphaph Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Even the far cab on this side of that photo was still in IR livery. It's a real pity it never ran in service like that. It would make a great model. The amazing thing is that even after seeing that hideous paint scheme full size, the management ordered it for the 201s anyway. They would have looked a million times better in tippex. 1 1 Quote

connollystn Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 It'd be more "Very interesting" if the guys at IRM posted more up-to-date pics of the As. Anyway, I'm off to watch France beat Portugal - it should be a very interesting match. Quote
