The GCR Barnum coaches would be nice they were still running into the 1960's, also a proper set of Coronation coaches including the beaver tail, the coaches were in articulated pairs and these pairs continued in various liveries into the 1960's. With all the liveries that Hornby have produced the A4 in they have missed the apple green where the smokbox black came down in a straight line instead of regular cureved shape. They have also missed the oportunity to produce the original A1 Great Northern in Great Northern livery that would make a great limited addition. The only Pacific that survived to BR not produced by any manufacturer is the Thompson rebuild of the P2 class, the A2/2 with the cylinders between the front bogie and the driving wheels they looked very different.  One of the  C class atlantic tanks would fill a gap as would as would the Scottish 4-4-0 Glens. With many gaps being filled by Hornby and other manufacturers it is becoming more difficult for a manufacturer to model a type that would sell in large enough numbers. When specific type totally un-represented is the hump shunter only the LNER and the SR really produced specific classes such as the T1 and the S1 and on the SR Z & G16 to see one of these produced would be nice.

As a complimentary loco to the original as built A1 Great Northern, a North Eastern class 4-6-2 [LNER A2] Pacific. They survived until the mid thirties, by which time there were 100 plus assorted Gresley Pacicics in service. Of the small LNER types an LNER K4 would be nice as they were they class that the Thompson/Perrercorn K1s were based on.

Just had an Email talking about the LNER new "Azuma" - "brand new fleet of Azuma trains, with greater comfort, more seats and faster Wi-Fi, started making their way to Edinburgh, Newcastle and York on 1 August 2019. And they’ve been travelling between London and Leeds since May 2019."

 

I'm not really a LNER enthusiast though - just like the company for its history!!! WinkSmile
