LCDR Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 With the 2015 programme now announced I would like to get my suggestions in for new items for 2016 / 2017 .Firstly I will again stake my suggestion for a Merchant Navy Pacific in air-smoothed condition. A third batch version would be ideal.Next something special to go with the BR/SR Bo-Bo electric locomotive already announced, perhaps some CIWL sleeping cars and the French luggage van to recreate the 'Night Ferry' Paris to Victoria via Dunkerque / Dover train ferry service. Alternatively some BR and European Ferry Vans of the period. Some with the typical peak roof and end brake platform might add variety, but PLEASE in 4mm scale and not a warmed over HO model.Time to bring back the SR L1 4-4-0 I think.A useful new type would be the Fowler 2-6-2T especially with condensing gear 40022 to 40040 series. Would go well with the new LMS suburban carriages.BR welded body 21 ton coal hopper in both vacuum and unfitted varieties.A 'Lowmac' low machinery wagon, not the old Airfix Lowmac EU but one of the 'curly' GWR design Lowmac WN (Loriot N).A small Industrial 0-4-0ST or 0-4-2ST. Hawthorn Leslie or Andrew Barclay for preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choralc Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I would really love to see a set of GWR Railcar twins (35-38) and pre-nationalisation livery shunting diesels (I have heard a couple of the latter are in kit form but I have tremors and don't do enough 'real' modelling to justify a spray kit as well - pity).

Bulleidboy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I totally agree with WTD, but as I'm here I'll add my bit - a Merchant Navy Pacific in air-smoothed condition. I can now forget this thread forthe next twelve months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 I really can't believe you're discussing this before Christmas 2014. I wanted to be first!Note I got in to the year after next as well, cool or what!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I just wonder what Hornby will be expected to produce for 2045. I'll be 101 then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Most you other oldies would be well gone by that year, so just take it that you are automatically invited if you're still about then. I might just end up in my gilded box before then as well, so the missus would have to entertain you. She would only be about 97 by that date, but she's a very determind woman.

Fishmanoz Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Graskie, I would think she would be determined not to have a 101st birthday party in your absence and with all of your train mates along. I have a friend who is also determined, determined to outlive her husband by at least 6 months: 3 months to get rid of all of his junk, and 3 months to enjoy her house without it.

Tony57 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 HiMy wishes for 2016 would be for the reintroduction of the R400 signal control set and the reintroduction of the R603 point motor together with the fixing base for the single home and distant semaphore signals so they can be made operable.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_russell Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I would certainly second the CIWL "Night Ferry" stock to go with the forthcoming Class 71.But what about some new liveries for the containers used with the "RailRoad" Container Flat? I would suggest Pandoro (P&O), ECS, Mearsk, Geest Line, Hapag-Lloyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_abramczyk Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 You know one thing I actually would like to see? A new and more accurate E2 class tank engine (Yes, I know, an LNER man wanting to see something from the Southern). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31550 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 What would suit me would be a Wainwright H class 0-4-4Tpreferably numbered 31550 as I used to see this daily on carriage shunting duties at Victoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_abramczyk Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Another thing I definately want to see? More Private Ownership Closed Vans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 What would suit me would be a Wainwright H class 0-4-4Tpreferably numbered 31550 as I used to see this daily on carriage shunting duties at Victoria.Having built two 'H's this year I hope I have tweaked the tail of the manufacturer's dragon enough to make this happen as I seem to have a knack at doing this. No sooner do I build a model from scratch or from a kit one of the manufacturers get round to issuing it RTR.Examples include -by Hornby - Schools class with Lemaitre chimney (Dapol body / Hornby chassis), Maunsell R4 carriages (Ian Kirk), 2Hal EMU (Phoenix and Branchlines), SR Van 'B' (Ratio), SR Van 'C' (Parkside),by Bachmann - BR LM Fairburn 2-6-4T (Hornby chassis / Scratch built), SECR 'C' 0-6-0 (SE Finecast), BR 2EPB EMU (DC kits), SR 'Pillbox' guards van (Cambrian), SR PMV (Parkside),So in the words of a famous TV show "Here is one I prepared earlier!" /media/tinymce_upload/Hs_and_2Hal_002.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi LC&DR It looks nice. Perhaps you should try it on a Merchant Navy or, just for a change of scene, a LNER G5 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would still like a plug in surface mounted DCC fitted point motor as requested at least 2 years ago if not longer, preferably using piezo legs technology Now that it's getting cheaper.

LCDR Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi LC&DR It looks nice. Perhaps you should try it on a Merchant Navy or, just for a change of scene, a LNER G5 !!Already built a Air Smoothed MN on a modified Hornby chassis, that one did not have the same effect - yet ...........

cooped Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 My vote would be the ex GER LNER B12 and the LNER D49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 My vote would be the ex GER LNER B12 and the LNER D49.I presume you are asking for new tooling, because both of these have been available from Hornby for quite a long time. The B12/3 actually dates back to Tri-ang days and has been in production on and off since the 1960s!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B12/3 actually dates back to Tri-ang days and has been in production on and off since the 1960s!. Yes, new tooling. I have an old Hornby Dublo B12 and an older O guage D49 which were my Grandad's. Would love the two in OO brought up to today's standards, although the eastern region had done well recently (or will do when they arrive) so I'm not going to hold my breath.
