38 Class bits:

The factory has advised that squirting of bits for the 38 class is underway. We reminded the factory that Sanda Kan had made modifications to the nose cone tooling after the first run and we asked the factory to confirm that they were using the the modified nose cone tooling.
The factory supplied the following photograph which clearly shows that it is indeed the modified nose cone.
 

38 Class Engine Numbers - minor changes:

The announcement of the engine numbers that will be produced in the re-run of the 38s created some discussion and as a result the following changes have been made to the list of engine numbers which will be produced.

3815  will now be produced in black not green as was previously announced.

3822 will replace 3815 in full green with black smoke box door.
