Great little model, after watching your review I couldn't resist ordering one 👍

Great Review i have just ordered 1450 and 1444 for my layout.

Lovely little model. Will have to get one. I also noticed that Hattons have improved their packaging from years gone by. My stuff used to travel 11,000mls wrapped up in brown paper!

I myself bought the BR Black example Number 1470 and I have to say this model is miles better than the airfix or Hornby model. If anyone is doubting to get this model I would highly recommend it! You won't be disappointed with it!!

I want to get a 14XX in GWR green so you have convinced me to get one

Great little reviews. I wish they were still available

Beautiful locomotive!!! I always loved it since the Thomas the tank engine series! Haha

Your layout is great.

Lovely model, ive always had a soft spot for some gwr locos these being top of the list. Ive got a old dapol one thats had a detailing kit fitted but Im thinking of replacing it with a br lined green version of the djm auto tank, alomg eith a bachmann auto coach

I really love these little locos . I model eastern region but I am tempted to build a small end to end layout just to have one . the difference between the 14xx and 58xx is that the 14xx is vacuum fitted for auto coach running .the 58xx wasn't fitted with vacuum so didn't run auto coaches . it was a loose coupled freight loco I understand .

Lovely model! I've always loved the titfield thunderbolt movie, such a classic! Cheers

That 14xx looks Beautiful

beautiful runner

Nice layout and loco

Well, you sold me. have ordered one like yours just a while ago. Normally I modelaustralian HO, but are aquiring a growing UK based collection, because I can. GWR seems to, without any intention have a lmost majority stake, pre ordering a Oxfors Dean as well. So the power of youtube , and sorry no commmission ;)

Very nice

Nice price ideal for the Hayling Island from Havant diorame set up i have done even thro they ran terrier the wheel arrange is correct for my layout 060 used to be 042 black during war time in Hayling s its very close to Portsmouth,after the war it was painted green £90 correct the cost ( so i'll try and obtain both) You should loo up the history of it you mat gain afew idea's on utube many thanks Carol p/s,not many females into model railways !!!) My father was on Southern Region Battle of Britian and the Brighton Pullman afew times out from Victoria Brother run out from Waterloo maybe that's how i gain the bug

I have two of the Airfix versions of this beautiful model but the new DJH model far outstrips them in appearance. I will certainly try to get one.

Has anyone worked out which Kadee coupler is best suited for this model

Do you still have the model? Does it still run OK? Lovely layout

I saw this and other liveries of this model in Hatton's display cabinet this morning....it's a great looking loco! Does it come with dcc provision?

Never knew the engine was recyclable :P

Hi chap are you from Derbyshire just seen your layout on wd models website i use alan shop alot such a great local shop . Have been watching your videos since your diesel days .

Did you lubricate the loco prior to running it?

Can't agree with your comment on Hatton's website being difficult to navigate. I find it very easy and one of the best I've ever used.

Do you still have the American and the narrow gauge layouts?

Wish 1450 would come out sooner

How much was is

sorry to be a pest is it ddc ready or set up for ddc only ??? afew of these were transfered to Southen region from GWR

Hattorn's website is a mo. Lovely loco.

Just found your page; good production and comments too. Hope they give you discount.....regards....Mike; have you seen my APT-E.....................TheMichaelWilcock will find me.....................looking forward to more

It looks to be a nice model and the absence of the top feed and whistle shield is a bonus as none were built with a top feed. The big disappointment is that the livery is not correct. The safety valve cover was always painted green in Great Western days and thay NEVER ran with a polished brass band between the smokebox and boiler. This is something that has crept intp use on some of the preserved locos and to my mind spoils the authenticity. Painting the safety valve cover green should be straightforward but painting the brass band would be much more difficult to get a good result. Painting them on the weathered versions would be extrmemely difficult to get a good match. In contrast, the new Heljan 1366 pannier tank is a mess with so many things wrong with it that I won't be buying one, especially at such a high price. It would be nice to have an up-to-date 1930s autocoach in chocolate and cream to go with the auto-fitted 48xxs.

Thats the same basis of Oliver from thomas the tank engine

I wanna know something can Americans buy from Hattons

I have to agree with you about Hattons' website. It's very difficult and quite annoying to navigate and feels really quite dated. There are other shops out there with much better websites that I've been giving my money to simply because it's easier to find what you're looking for. A shame really as I am from Liverpool and have always wanted to support them but since they moved to Widnes they have become more of an online-only shop, so now I find myself looking for the lowest prices online instead of spending a couple extra quid to support my local shop.
