R3462 42xx with early br crest. Got it last Saturday from the great Hornby shop in Swindon for £85 (RRP £140)

I most definitely agree with that. 😆 The large prairies frequently operated five coach suburban trains out of Paddington. Hornby could do a train pack with 3 suburban coaches and a 61xx, with a two coach extension pack.

As far as I know the king has now become a dj models general release instead of being on hattons only, due to hornby's king. Anyway, although there were only the same number of manors they would be much more popular with modellers.

The old Airfix b set would make a great railroad model

Here's a short list of wants I've compiled: LOCOS: 1. Manor 2. 43xx 3. Large prairie (41/51xx, 61xx) COACHES 1. B set 2. Suburban coaches (could also put in train pack with 61xx) 3. Collett 60ft coaches (or other mainline stock) REISSUES 1. Hawksworth coaches 2. Mk1 suburbans in western region livery (were any allocated to wr?) 3. Pannier tank

One good idea might be a slip coach. They were quite common in the early 1900s, and would suit anyone with a medium-sized mainline station.

In response to lcdr. The manor and 43xx from Bachmann are long overdue modernisation, but they would still be less detailed than a modern loco (although hopefully slightly cheaper). If there is room in the market for two new tool Kings, I'm sure hornby would get away with a manor, as they are a very useful size for modellers.

I am trying to develop some carriage formations, but I'm rather flexible about locos (as long as they are reasonable).
