Class 89 - any RTR offering from the kit builders?

Nov 15, 2003 2 Replies

G'afternoon,



I've been away from the hobby for a couple of years, so forgive me if I'm talking nonsense, but I seem to have a shaky recollection that a kit producer was offering a RTR version of the Class 89 at one point (in both I/C and GNER liveries)? Anybody know if any of these are still available from any source?



After scanning the web, the only Class 89 kit that I can find appears to be supplied by DC Kits, with no pre-assembled option. Is that correct? Or am I missing somebody?



Any advice greatly received.



Cheers,



Andy

Dapol actually threatened a ready to run model of the class 89 some years ago, but like many of their promises it came to nothing.
