LCDR Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Some steam outline 0-4-0s that actually looked like common types of industrial locos rather than re-hashed and out of proportion mainline types would be very nice. The Dowlais locos were a fair attempt but were fairly limited in application. An Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST would be a useful and widely applied type. It would however require a new, shorter wheelbase, chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

133 Squadron Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 One of the retailers has commissioned a USA tankYes, I do know that Rivarossi has produced a USA tank but it is in HO scale. HO locomotives would look out of place next to OO scale locomotives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremiahBunyan Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'd love the Class 66 to be shifted to the RailRoad range and updated. All it needs is accurate bogies and another version for the light clusters. Other than that it's a perfect RailRoad model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slornie Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I can see Ivor the Engine appealing to a niche audience, but unlike Thomas, which is still a widely recognised brand in children's entertainment circles, I don't recall seeing Ivor around very much in recent years. I'm also not sure what "line of products" there would be other than the engine itself? And actually, if we're moving into the realm of children's fiction for inspiration, I can only think of Chuggington (which I believe Bachmann have the model rights to), The Little Engine Who Could, The Polar Express and Casey Junior from Disney's Dumbo. Are there any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

133 Squadron Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm also not sure what "line of products" there would be other than the engine itself?There was a decent helping of rolling stock in the series. If one is looking for another engine, there is always the juggernaut. I believe there can be a focus on buildings such as Llaniog station, the signal box, and Ivor's shed. There could also be a line of figurines of other characters in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouseddie Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 There are 6 ex GWR Manors 4-6-0s active in preservation need to have a new quality model as there are, surprisingly, no plans anyone else producing one of these very popular loco classes. Also would like an upgrade of the ex GWR large prairie 2-6-2T. Other ex GWR steam types would be popular...the 43XX 2-6-0 tender engine and also the 47XX 2-8-0 tender engine.

Graskie Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sorry, Terry, just tested that link and it just threw me back to the beginning of this thread. Could you look into this, please, Admin? Anyway, try the site www.hornbyguide.com by not copying this link but making a fresh browser attempt, typing it in, and search for R.2717.

2e0dtoeric Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I would like to see more rtr coaches in the 'streamlined Duchess' liveries, both the blue (which I have) and the maroon.I managed to get a 'split from set' rake of three more coaches for mine, but of course they are duplicates, until I can change the running numbers. That still leaves me with two brake coaches in a rake of six, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
