Hi all, anyone know when the Heljan class 17 is due on sale? Badger.
It's not until spring next year, to the best of my knowledge.

Changing the subject somewhat, I have just had an email telling me that my Heljan Falcon is being dispatched. Hopefully Sanata will smile on me, and I will receive it before the 25th.
I'm waiting for mine too. It's a bit of an odd purchase for me, as it falls outside just about every railway interest I have, but I called on my modeller's "licence to run" (number 007.6 ;-), (a.k.a. "Imrairwil" - "it's my railway, and I'll run what I like") as I couldn't resist... ;-)

While my era is really late 50s, but I am making an exception after seeing a colour photo of lime green/brown Falcon on the Master Cutler in 1962. The train was only 6 coaches long and had 4 Metro Cammell Pullmans between 2 older Pullman brake vehicles, one at each end.
For once, I will be able to have an almost realistic main line working.
All I need are headcode numbers, as it looks as though the headcodes are blank, and a Master Cutler headboard for the loco front.

A selection of paper 4-character headcodes are included with 'Falcon' but I regret I cannot tell you the appropriate code for the 'Master Cutler'.

Wow. Thanks very much to you both. I am getting quite excited now.
I know what you mean. That happens to me whenever a driver opens up the throttle on Class 66 :o)
