Fazy Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Princess Royal! To go with my all new 'sir bill' along with a midland 7f 0-8-0. And a LMS push/pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks LC&DR - you're very thoughtfull. Preference is G5, J21, A8. Oh, yes, nearly forgot, any variant of the B16 . Yes, I remember, you're not too keen on the originals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 My opinion re the B16 was coloured when I worked in the Newcastle Traffic control. I worked alongside men who had been controllers and signalmen in the North East. They recounted tales of how they managed the trains in the days of steam. To a man they agreed that if York notified them of a 'brakie' goods coming down with a B16 on the front, they knew they would have to put them in at Castle Hills, Darlington, Linger and Die, and at Ferryhill at the very least, to let the following EPs get a clear run, woe betide them if they listened to the driver pleading to give them a clear run through, there would be a 'please explain' waiting for them next day for delaying the services! If it was a V2 or a B1 no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Full range spare parts including loco bodies are my wish for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 As for locos, LMS Turbomotive, Rebuilt and Unrebuilt W1, X class and Z class tank locos.Servicable motors too. A retro catalouge ala Tri-ang style, and the introduction of a Vintage range with some old favourites such as the 0-4-0 Dock Authority shunter complete with original power unit but with a five pole armature, glazing, LED lighting and DCC socket.

LCDR Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 /media/tinymce_upload/5c5cdffab09d269c7ceb6bbbbaeac165.jpg How about this nice little hopper wagon for next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremiahBunyan Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 OO Gauge:-I am happy that Hornby are finally doing a Class 87, with that I would like to see a Class 86. I heard a rumour that Hornby were planning to do a Class 91 but decided against it as it would cost more than the Class 87 if you take into regard the Mk.4 coaches and Mk.4 DVT. Other than that I'd love to see some nice re-liveries on existing tooling - Arriva Class 08, new Virgin Trains Class 390 Pendolino, DCR Grey Class 56. N Gauge:-The N gauge Brighton Belle seemed to have been a success, so I'd love to see some more N gauge stuff, if not maybe a re-run of the Brighton Belle in a different livery. I know in OO gauge they've done about 3 or 4 variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they claim they sell like hotcakes but refuse to atleast update the coupling then I'll be happier if they atleast do more wagons apart from those ancient ones.

walkingthedog Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 A GWR/WR 43XX and 61XX have been at the top of my list for some time and Dapol are going to make them. Better start saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 A G5, J21, B16 and an A8 have been on my list for years. Still no sign of any of them. If it's going to be as long a wait as it was for the Q6 I'll give up. Will have run out of life expectancy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 A G5, J21, B16 and an A8 have been on my list for years. Still no sign of any of them. If it's going to be as long a wait as it was for the Q6 I'll give up. Will have run out of life expectancy !!!That was precisely why I started buying and building kits and butchering RTR models close in appearance to the types I wanted for my collection. I reasoned that no manufacturer would consider SE&CR and associated types. (The Southern had always been the poor relation) So I aquired some SE Finecast kits while I was still earning wages and put them away for my retirement so in my loft I had at least 2 Maunsell Moguls, 3 Wainwright Cs, a few Wrenn R1s and Airfix14xx to turn into Hs, a DJH D1 (and a Golden Arrow kit ditto), a Golden Arrow kit air-smoothed Merchant Navy, some No Nonsense and Phoenix kits for 4Sub, 2EPB, 4EPB and 2Hal emus, Kirk Maunsell coach kits, all waiting the happy day when I didn't need to get up at unreasonable o'clock and head off for a day's graft! And so then Bachmann brought out the N, and later the C, and then the 2EPB, Hornby introduced the Maunsell coaches, the 2Hal and now the Merchant Navy and the H. I am still awaiting the D1 and 4Sub, but they have otherwise exceeded my wildest dreams. I would never have anticipated a Wainwright P for example. So get yourselves a few kits and spirit them away, build one or two and you will be surprised how quickly that encourages the manufacturers to produce them for you! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Oh dear! That would be a pity, Bachmann already do one, and it isn't the most popular of locos, even amongst Southern fans. I already have a Bachmann one, and I wouldn't want another.A Maunsell U' 2-6-0 would be a much more popular choice if it has to be another Southern model, but frankly there is much more to have a go at such as something Scottish or North Eastern which would please a lot more people.

LCDR Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I agree, a Maunsell rebuild of a Wainwright 4-4-0 would propel me into seventh heaven, but I have to bow to the fact that in the last few years "We have never had it so good" and ought to stand aside for our northern colleagues.

Carltonf Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yes, not long now, and I don't expect any of these, but they would be nice for the future. I guess not quite the same appeal as yet another SR loco, but:1) Train pack featuring Black 5 with 3 maroon Mk1s in West Coast Railways guise, with Jacobite nameplate2) Train pack featuring K1 in LNER green (which was prototypical for preserved loco!) with 3 green and cream tourist coaches3) ex-Lima Class 27 in Blue (post TOPS) with Scottie Dog logo.4) Re-release ex-Lima Class 156 with modified undercarriage in Barbie livery.
