Where are we with the projects?

2020 has been a strange year to say the least, but 2021 is looking better for sure. That being said, we have some fantastic new models planned for 2021, the first 3 have been announced. Head to our Expression of interest page for further information. We have a couple more that we just want to finish off the details so that we can have something to show you.

Some of you may have noticed our website has had a little work. The customer accounts have also had a mak-over. When you login in, you will need to reset your password. It's very simple, then just follow the steps.

What 2021 will bring

SR The leader

The order book is now OPEN, now that we have the plans and have started work on the CAD Drawings. As with the GT3 there will only be a limited number of models made. We expect demand to be high for this much sort after model

With the response that we have received so far with our initial announcement that we are making the Leader, it has been overwhelming. The Leader will be offered in OO gauge only, but we will have an expression of interest link open for the N gauge version. We can reveal that we will be offering it in both the prototype grey and BR Black early crest liveries. It will be available in DCC ready, DCC Fitted and DCC Sound.

We are now able to update you with the plan going forward. The order book is now open. There will be 3 versions available, DCC Ready £185.00, DCC Fitted £215, and DCC Sound £285.00. Available in prototype grey, early crest grey, and BR Black Early crest.

English Electric - GT3

It has finally happened. We have the shipment en-route to the UK warehouse for distribution. We are aware there may be possible delays with customs as they are short staffed right now because of the covid-19 restrictions, but we will keep you posted when we know more.

You may have been reading all the positive reviews in all the modelling press. We promised you the GT3 and we have done it. Yes it's taken time, and no one expected Covid-19 to have such an impact, but we have survived that storm and here we are.

We will keep you posted when the container arrives at the warehouse. Our ETA for deliveries in March from the warehouse. Obviously, our overseas customers will have to wait a little longer, but rest assured, you will get it.

YouTube GT3 Test running with sound

We are now getting a lot of interest in a 2nd production run. The link for new customers is below.

THE FELL

The decorated sample will arrive in April so we will do some more track testing and examine the model to see if everything is correct before we go to production. Sales have been very strong and the order book is still open for all those who still want one. Please remember we only make enough to cover orders. The instalment plan will be closing very soon, March 1st, because otherwise there will be payments outstanding after we deliver.

Once it's gone, it's gone.

Clayton DHP1

We have not one but two new projects to announce. This lock down has kept us busy with getting the projects out there. The first is the Clayton DHP1.

It was a demonstrator ordered by Rolls Royce to showcase their engines and hydraulic transmission, with help from Col Fell of 10100 Fell Loco fame. Clayton modified the Class 17 drawings to suit the requirement as they were designed around the same time, although the 17 was about 4 feet longer but the general layout was identical, testing didn't go to plan and it was soon relegated to works shunter for the final 2 Class 17's being built (the 2 with Rolls Royce engines).

The expression of interest is now open at Clayton DHP1

2021 Announcements

We have announced 3 possible new products that we have launched for 2021.

We have answered the call from small industrial modellers by offering the Hunslet BO-BO and the Torpedo wagon set.

These wagons can be found in the Scunthorpe Steelworks today. They run in pairs so it makes sense to package them in pairs.

The CAD work is complete so if you are interested then please sign up for the Expression of interest.
