Had an email earlier from Hattons advising that Dapol are doing a OO gauge re-run of the popular Class 68 in Trans Pennine livery.

They are asking for pre-orders to see if there is enough interest to do a production run.
For anyone interested due to missing out on the first production Brutus, now is the time to have a further opportunity. Something I have been waiting for as Brutus appears to be very scarce.

The loco's will be 68023 Achilles and 68032 Destroyer, DC and DCC fitted.
I have asked for clarification from another online supplier as I don't know if this is Hattons exclusive or not.

It not exclusive because on the Dapol site it says register your interest with your preferred Dapol stockist.

As a matter of curiosity will anyone be making any Nova 3 (Mark 5A) coaching stock to accompany these?

yes WTD, after a chat with Rails earlier they have had notification from Dapol but have not yet announced it officially yet.

So you need to tell Rails that you will buy one and they will tell Dapol.
