Have you found this yet?

The NRM shop link doesn't mention it that I can find.

Credit card waiting !

I think it can only be done via phone at the moment.

There are more pictures on the Bachmann website:

Soon remove that with a bit of surgical alcohol

Ordered one this morning. I am strangely drawn to the frame and valve gear arrangement on engines like this, perhaps it harks back to an era when railways were the kings of travel.

This is possibly one of the most beautiful models I have ever seen. I think my jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw it. May have to pester the parents for one for christmas

I rang today because the Platinum version wasn't on the website.

I was told that this was an error and they had them in stock, limited to 500.

I'm starting to think tho' .. £200 ?

[oldrocker]

I am now £200 poorer but one limited edition City of Truro richer!

Mine has arrived!

Will have to wait until Christmas Day to run it

I want one to bad, but I don't have enough pocket money! And it would be perfect on my layout! Ah well, time to find some money.

My Platinum Edition arrived yesterday !

That's one that is not being taken out of the box!

Came with usual bag of bits, a set of etched nameplates/number plates/work plates and a clear green perspex base with the name on.

Oh, and a certificate. Mine's no. 318/500

Seems to have an opening smokebox door. Either that or mine's broken !
