"I imagine that a 14xx would be next on the Agenda for a manufacturer somewhere."

 

Yes, I am sure that is because ... like the Hudswell Clarke, the Fowler diesel and the 57xx, I already have one that I built from a kit/scratch!  David

 

Also does Mr Klein have one? Every Minerva loco produced or announced so far is already in his collection. ;)

It's called 'Sod's law' and happens to me too!

Cheers,

Yes, true.  However, I don't believe that he already had a Fowler 0-4-0DM, which is how I came to be indirectly minimally involved with the Ixion model by helping out with some photographs and a GA that I acquired when I built my Fowler 0-4-0DM, LMS No. 2  (see: www.davidlosmith.co.uk/LMS_Fowler.htm).

How about a nice B.R. standard 8T/12T Cattle Wagon (like Airfix used to make in 00) which were seen all over the country throughout the 50's and 60's?  AFAIK there has never even been a kit for one in any material so I'm sure it would sell well.  I know Skytrex made an RTR one for a short time but it had an incorrect wheelbase, 10' not 12'.

Cheers,

This is a good idea, I would certainly have one or more, but please NOT with a 12ft wheelbase (wasn't that what Bachmann did?) they have a near unique 11ft wheelbase.
