Just a quick update to say the 56xx models are now all safely in our warehouse and we will be sending the first ones out via Royal Mail Tracked 24 service on Monday for Tuesday delivery.
Advance orders for DC models will be sent according to the date received, and we expect to move on to the DCC and Sound fitted models in around 10 days.

Good morning Chris,
I received my 56xx yesterday. Took a while to get into the loco – it was so well packaged 🙂
It’s a fantastic model, well worth the wait. So good that I may have to acquire a late crest green one as well!
Well done on another excellent product.
I’m looking forward to the next Minerva announcement.
Kind regards
Mark Chandler
Hello Chris
Just received 6676 thank you. Words are inadequate to describe the visual impact on first taking the model out of the box and it’s so heavy. On the test track, immediate response in both directions at slow speed. Shade of green and lettering impressive, SUPERB.
Having supplied the icon of Welsh pre-grouping sheds what about the icon of pedigree Welsh sheds next, a 42XX ideally with raised footplate please. I’ll place an order now!!
Received my 56xx today and I’m very pleased with it, it arrived well packaged with no damage. I can highly recommend this locomotive.
