Typical. i have just bought a resin one!

Seriously though. its really not my thing but i wish them the best of luck with this project.

I must admit i am pretty skeptical about this. I am not expecting anything spectacular (even by class 22 standards!)

Any guesses on a price? i'l kick off with £100.

absoloutly. as long as its done well.

Athearn used this method of pickup for many years and its been faultless. the problem comes when they make it impossible to isolate the motor from the frames.

it wouldnt be feasable to upgrade the old moulds anyway.

There are limits on what its practical to do with 30 year old moulds.

Also you need to think about what would need to be redone. the entire roof, the ends, the cab sides. there really isnt much left and what is left would be simple to design.

Its time for the old moulds to go to the great depot in the sky along with the old lima deltic moulds.

Anyway. this is going to be an all new design.
