Prarie was announced at Telford. Centre headcode 37 will be popular.
I seem to remember the class 25 being confirmed some time ago!!!! Brian Daniels is painting up the first sample model now.

The Peak is an interesting announcement.

Already have a JLTRT version which I'm happy with, but the Heljan one will sit nicely alongside their 40.

Cheers.

Yeah, the windscreen angles might match!!!

Blue centre-headcode 37 for me but boy do these prices put US O scale in perspective... I'd begun to think £200-ish was expensive

2 MMP dogfish for the price of 1 Heljan, I know what I will be getting.

Ah yes, the 40s achillies heel Jordan. Hopefully they will do a better job with the Peak.

Whilst the 40 is not quite right around the windscreen, it does give an alternative to kit building which, (in this scale as well as others), can get expensive if one does not have the necessary skills.

That said, it's not the first time Heljan have got an EE cab profile wrong.

Anywho, I fear I have gone off topic, so will leave my thoughts there.

Cheers.

Windscreens are the 'face' of a loco and all too easy to get wrong, even with kits.
It was a shame with the 40 as the flush glazing itself was the best yet from Heljan. Fortunately I didn't want one, but a centre-box 37 is a different matter....

Hi Steve,

about half an hour ago - I had an instant headache and should lie down for the rest of the day, but we have an Open day at the Club so a goodly diversion.

cheers
