Plus there were only five, plus they weren't around for long. D601 spent almost twice as long awaiting the cutter's torch at Barry than it did in BR service!

The Class 22s on the other hand were a common sight on WR metals throughout the 60s and might be a popoular addition for scenarios.

How about a BR Blue D600

Peter

I imagine GT3, nor the Deltic Prototype, didn't sell in droves....but they were produced. Never say never!!

Looking good:

You see . . . . Someone somewhere does take note of our desires.
Day one buy for me, , for all but the warship specifically.

Just the P2 & APT next please.

I like the weathering effects, looks great!

The P2 is being done by Digital Traction,check their page on face book for further details of it

Agreed, looking forward to seeing if the "heavily weathered" versions look like they've been through the Laira washing plant!

What I would like to see for Eastern Region,is a class 23 Baby Deltic,by all accounts there is a Baby Deltic society who are recreating one of them,they were mostly used on Kings Cross Peterborough and Kings Cross Cambridge passenger services and some freight turns between Ferme Park and New England,

The other one is the BTH type 1 class 15,by all accounts there is a preserved one at the East Lancashire Railway

This pack is looking very good. Glad they are doing different liveries

Peter

This is all looking rather promising isn't it! Love all the different liverys and weathering.
Very much looking forward to the pack. Think the 42 is the highlight for me!

The sole survivor D8233 is on the East Lancashire Railway but is still under restoration.

An interesting picture because of it's shed mate

Peter

Is that Metro-Vick D5705? If so, I assume it's also under restoration?

Ash

Yes the same team are working on both the Class 15,and the Metrovik CO-BO

As my early awareness of what became the class 15 was prior to virtually any knowledge of US locos other than the archetypal F7-style, it strikes me now how very similar the class 15 is to some earlier (1950's) US locos such as the EMD GP7. But I just checked Wikipedia and apparently there was no American involvement in their design!

Strange how design and custom has moved apart over the years, and even when EMD came directly into the UK via the class 59 and 66, the bodyshell and cab layout is so fundamentally different, despite commonality back in the 1950's!
