Locomotion Models’ Class 33/1 on the way

AS EXPECTED given the current coronavirus situation, Locomotion Models has warned that the arrival of its new models from China will be delayed.

In a statement, it said: “We can only apologise but due to the coronavirus outbreak in China, production in the factories was delayed across the entire model railway sector and not surprisingly delivery dates have been extended. While the situation is not yet back to normal, we expect delivery of some items to recommence soon. The Terrier Boxhill is now having new bodyshells made and will hopefully be with us in a few weeks.”

Also expected soon is the first of Locomotion Model’s exclusive edition Class 33/1, D6535 Hertfordshire Rail Tours. The BR blue liveried locomotive will feature high density headlights with etched nameplates and Spitfire depot plaque provided in the box for customers to fit if required. The full-size ‘Crompton’ is currently based at the Great Central Railway.
