Thanks, Tony, for an honest and thorough review. I don't model the LNER, like dogs do, they appear to be everywhere, and certainly, most manufacturers make a lot of LNER locomotives and rolling stock. But it's always a pleasure to see Little Bytham and to hear Tony's voice, one of calm consideration one could say.
Let's hope that a) These are better than the wretched GWR 4700's, and that b) Pre-Nationalisation liveries are also to be available - the endless cavalcade of BR really does grate on one's sensibilities.....
The most appealing one for me would be the GNR pre-grouping version, but I’m not sure about the grey livery. I’m assuming it’s accurate, but it would look oddly out of place with other GNR locos which would usually be a vivid shade of green.
Heljan seems to have done a superb job with this class! I can't decide which livelry to purchase, either LNER lined red or the GNR lined grey. Thanks Tony for the spectacular running session!

Really hoping these are better than the older ones 🤞
Am looking forward to receiving mine in gnr grey
Good heavens, they blackened the axels!

Oh I think this settles it. I need it. I wanted the one with red lining
