I have often done a search on Hattons (as well as others) for 00 LMS
liveried brake vans and come up with nothing till now, and they only
have one left. R6079U.
How come I have not found this before, is it a new release, how come
nowhere else has it?

Last one now gone, (most probably due to me posting here) and now
unobtainable.
Really wondering why I had never found it before.

The reason why I did the latest search was because todays MREmag
mentioned this http://www.ehattons.com/StockDetail.aspx?SID=25701 as a
new release and it contains one.
R6079U appears to be a boxed item.

British model trains catalogue shows R6079 has been released in various
guises and numbers (with A and B suffixes) from 1999 to 2004. May be
others - I only have the 2004 copy. So would expect there to be a few around
2nd hand. Modelfair appears to have one but no price mentioned. Its an
ex-airfix model so theres probably a few under the GMR brand as well.

Cheers,
Simon

the Hornby 2006(!) cataloguen ow being available, and VAT of 17.5%.

Is back in stock at Hattons,
http://www.ehattons.com/StockDetail.aspx?SID=31511
They have been split from box sets, hence why it is not in the
catalogue.
It is narrower, lower and longer than Hornby's previous model.

Any idea as to which is more likely to be more prototypical, or are
none of them right.

Cheers,
Dobbin
