I have preordered my copy of this loco,but I'm still waiting for the release of the 43XX which I ordered a couple of weeks ago.
I wonder if DT will release the 2 together when TS2016 comes out along with DTG's 1950's Riviera route.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who'd come across this name before - was starting to doubt my own memory...!

Will pre-order tonight and look forward to this, the 43xx and the re-vamped Pannier.

Pre-ordered both now, cant wait. DT is certainly pushing out some great GWR locos!

DT said on Sunday evening on Facebook: "The 43xx Loco is no longer up for pre order as about to be released, we now have the Collett Goods available for pre-order!"

So hopefully shouldn't be too long..

Should that not read pushing out some GREAT Western locos?

Thank you both very much. It's nice to know that I've not been completely forgotten

Yup, sorry.

Hi

Depending on how much you like the Great Western,GWR stands for Gods Wonderful Railway or Great Way Round,nick name for the L.N.E.R Late but Never Early Railway,and S&DJR,Slow and Dirty Joint Railway.

Just wondering if any one will make a Hawkesworth County Class 4-6-0,one would look good hauling a set of Hawkesworth Coaches

Hardly Kevin - every time I run a South Devon Banks scenario your locos are all over the place!

Absolutely.

I also frequently use the 94xx, Ivatt 2-6-2T, Ivatt 2-6-0, Jinty and Stanier 5MT 2-6-0 in appropriate locations. I know there is a super-doopa Jinty available but as I don't find shunting "my thing" I'm happy to use yours, particularly for shunting AI.

Thanks, that's nice to hear

DT FB page shows a nice looking cab render...!

This will also be the cab for the 2884 addon, with the obvious changes

Some more photos on fB. Looking very nice, hope release date is getting nearer!

(Can't link from phone... )

Looks like this is imminent

Out now - looking forward to driving this at the weekend

Hope it's worth the wait
