DT 2251

[michaelhendle]

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've heard the term Baby castle relating to the 2251's before, or more rather read it in one of Harrold Gasson's ( ex GWR firemans ) books ( Firing days reminiscences of a Great Western Fireman ).

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?

And what a good looking model it still is. A big thank you for your contribution to the sim.

Hi Kevin,
I have your model of the Collet 0-6-0 and it really has stood the test of time,it looks as good to day as it did when it first came out all those years ago,it will worth seeing how it compares with the DT when it comes out.
many thanks for your models
Mike

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

Cheers,
Kevin

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.

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

[kirkheath]

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

[rkk01]

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

(Can't link from phone... )

[rkk01]

Looks like this is imminent

[rkk01]

Out now - looking forward to driving this at the weekend

Hope it's worth the wait
