Eleven models are planned for the first batch of releases in Southern Railway (SR) malachite green, BR carmine and cream and BR (SR) green (see table for individual running numbers). Each will also benefit from separately fitted roof vents, lamp irons, toilet filler and overflow pipework, accurate footsteps, detailed interiors and detailed underframes, including continuous vacuum pipe run.

Prices are set at £74.95 each, with delivery anticipated during the third quarter of 2022.
