RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2017 Ooh exciting. Maybe (hopefully) they have decided to go ahead with their OO Gauge Benchmark King Class from DJM. Wishful thinking I know. I wonder what it will be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted September 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2017 Also mentioned in Andy's BRM thread, as the digital edition is delayed to Monday as it contains details. It is good to have something modelling wise to look forward to , I think it's been a bit flat recently. Hopefully it's OO and something Scottish for a change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted September 8, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Based on absolutely no science, fact or even trackside rumour, not even conjecture, gossip or scriptures.. I am 100% convinced it won't be either a class 124 trans-penine or an L&Y dreadnought 4-6-0. Edited September 8, 2017 by adb968008 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Nothing to get excited about. It's probably just announcing when my small order placed yesterday will arrive . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 We will also have full details of the announcements on here at noon on Monday including images and video content. Now if there is video content, that means they already reached a fair stage that some prototype samples exist at least. Video could equally hint that it is a moving item, so self propelled. Now - there were hints in the past from Hatton's on Fell loco drawings. And the fact that I have obtained all parts to scratch build one increases this probability of it being that. GT3 is also next on the list. More remotely, a class 89 (wishful thinking on my part). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally they may been inspired by this Ratio kit http://www.hattons.co.uk/152040/Ratio_5778Ratio_LMS_Johnson_2_4_0_Locomotive_Tender_Kit/StockDetail.aspx Assuming Andy has not modified the cover image, then - if it is this - the question remains as to which scale.... Such a loco would look nice in both OO and O gauge. Edited September 8, 2017 by JSpencer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I live in hope that it's an ex-GER E4. An utterly delightful 2-4-0 that would beautifully complement Hornby's recent splurge on LNER subjects. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the answer adds up to 12 and it might have hint from an ad which talks about things being 'utterly' ...
