O gauge Class 56

[richierich]

While browsing the lovely thread about the Heljan O gauge class 60, it got me inspired and wondering about the class 56. However from a web search, seems RJH did a kit some years ago which is no longer available. There is also a proposed kit from David Parkin's o gauge range. I'm sure many years ago I saw an article about o gauge 56 in model rail mag. But has there been another o gauge class 56 models?

 

Thanks in advance,

PRMRP the current owner of the RJH range still list the class 56 in their range, hope that helps you.

Hi Rich,

 

Nothing other than what you and Lord Flashheart mention. It's quite a popular type and I'd think something is likely to emerge soon given the offerings that have appear on the O gauge diesel market over the last few years. Here's to hoping.

 

Cheers

As you say a popular class, so maybe Heljan will produce an RTR?
