It's out now at a very reasonable £93 at Hattons and £96 at Rails.
With only 2400 models being produced, 800 of each of the three liveries thats got to worth a punt.
They were in the Heljan displey case at Warley and very nice they looked too, I don't like the Lime green one but the others are very smart.
Rails are showing stocks of 24 of each colour so if you want one best get in quick or pay through the nose when some greedy so-and-so buys multuple and sells them on you know where.

QUOTE (Invicta @ 18 Dec 2007, 14:21) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Lime green version of Falcon arrived from Hattons this morning- very nice, a real quality job although haven't had a chance to run it yet.

Did you pre-order it, the Hattons ads always state they don't do this as they have no need to speed up cash flow through their tills.
I just had a look at their site and the Class 53 is no longer listed. Would've been nice to know how many they had, I didn't look at their ehattons site where they list that info.
Interesting looking at Rails site of the 24 of each they said they'd got they're now down to 10 Green, 20 Blue and all 24 Lime Green. I thought that last livery was going to be the most popular with it being unique to this loco.

On a slightly sideways note, with this seemingly a success what chance of Heljan offering a Lion or Pheonix next year?
