81F Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I would like to see the old LIMA GWR siphon G re released, but possibly on a new underframe either using the old Airfix GWR bogies or the new Hawkesworth ones. This would be a very nice model as the lima body diesn't look too bad. The only drawback with the original was the BR Mark 1 Bogies with their moulded plastic couplings.

naugytrax Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'll second that, although I'd like to see bigger buffers on it. Actually, the old Airfix underframe from the outside-framed siphons should be a pretty good fit along with the Airfix bogies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too but don't hold your breath.The recent release of the old Airfix one was a waste of time and overpriced.We need a 21st century one not 70s mouldings I'm afraid.Look at the Southern van c so it can be done.

SpeedtotheWest Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Well this can officially be binned with the cracking announcement by Accurascale today. At last Western modellers can have something for their parcels trains with tooling not dating back to the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
