2007 list

Corporate Blue but with full yellow ends and a large arrow logo

Didn't the yellow wrap around the cab sides?

Yep.

Thanks for that John,

So,

From the 2007 range, it looks like it'll be a caley single set and a coal drop set for me this year, which does look pretty good. (And of course the usual ebay watch for LNER liveried models)

I may have to re-think my general avoidance of those terrible chunky hornby

What are the latest ones like? (J13, J83) have they had any significant improvements to the running[motor and pickup] since the 80s? Do they still have those crappy moulded couplings?

I also notice that the N2 has a 5 pole motor these days, is it a significant improvement on the airfix one?

Not terrific in my estimation, perhaps ok for the toy market.

I think it is. The body moulding is virtually unchanged but it is now fitted with a 5-pole can motor which gives much smoother and quieter operation.

Certainly that was a usual clause with those I had to sign when I was involved in game development, togther with "we know where you live" (they were American companies) :-)

On a more practical note, if I had broken any NDA I wouldn't have been offered any more work - ever, and as the field I was invloved in a very close community I wouldn't have worked for *anyone* again.
