Keen viewers of our Social Media pages will not have missed one or two carefully placed clues, alluding to the subject of this week’s blog.

This is great news and will compliment the Bachmann C class -0-6-0 nicely. It seems that between the two main UK manufacturers of RtoR model trains are going to provide us with all the Bluebell line fleet, both operative and- in the case of the Adamas’ radial- currently inoperative.
I do hope one of the three livery variants by Homrby will be the SE&CR lined out brunswick green. In which case I hope it will match the quality of the livery applied by Bacmann to its C class goods- that used by Hornby on a current variant of the ex-LB&SCR “Terrier” is too bright and looks wrong.
