A big thank you to DCRail for hosting us this week to compare our painted sample of 56091 with the real thing!
Come and visit our stand (stand number C55) at the Warley exhibition this weekend to see the production Class 56 models.
We’re excited to share that production Class 56 models have arrived with us for final sign off before the full batch are shipped to the UK. All production models and bodyshells will be available to view on our stand at the Warley Exhibition this coming weekend. Delivery of the Class 56 is anticipated early next year, subject to shipping and QC times.
Thanks to Peter Mantle at Llanbourne in Australia for allowing us to run 56008 on his superb layout!
