Great looking loco Dave

Thanks for posting the brochure, it looks OK, I thought it would be too small.
James, yes great loco, our previous release, the Jinty is a wonderful engine, this Pannier will also be a beauty. I'm sure it will be very popular.

Any idea what the price will be on these? Will Trainshoover be carrying them in the US?

Trains Hoover will stock them, my Australian price may be a bit different, but I think in America it will be about the same as the Jinty.
Dave,
A great looking loco - I really like the the GWR 5764.
Looks the part

David, they are an iconic loco, particularly for GWR fans. I'm sure they will be very well received. I look forward to getting them in stock. Train manufacturers seem to concentrate more on mainline locos, so to get a 2-6-2, Jinty and now Pannier in quick succession will really fill those gaps in the roster.
Hi Frank,
that's what I thought too. No, slightly different wheel base, both the Pannier and Jinty are built to scale and are slightly different.
This is not a particularly good photo but you might still find this of interest. Its the motor and gear box of the Jinty which I think you will find will be very similar to the Pannier. The motor is a well proved Japanese Macubi which drives a beveled contrate gear which in turn drives a train of gears down to each of the three drive axles.
