Hi,
For those who don't know a 7mm Class 50 model has been commisioned and will be produced by the Little Loco Company. The idea is originally a crowdfunding project and the whole project was conceived only last Fri and has already secured the necessary funding for full development. Only members of two Facebook groups involved will be able to get any of the first 200 models but then the normal production versions will be available for general sale through LLC. It is projected that the first example will be the refurbished model and will retail for £500 non-sound and £600 sound fitted. No news is yet available on liveries but expect to see blue and later NSE feature heavily on the initial roll out. If the model matches the quality of the Class 15 then we are in for an exciting time. Here is the link to the main facebook group which is a closed group only;

It is hoped to be produced in the UK with an expected timeframe of 14 months. If you are seriously interested then register your interest and more importantly buy a model or two. Projects like this need peoples support and hopefully this will be the first of a whole new range of 7mm RTR modern image locomotives,
Thank you

Heljan have had a major "oh 
" moment, I reckon. And given their track record of "nearly but not quite" models, they'll lose out big time if they do try & go head-to-head with this model.
