My guess is Rapido might take it on solo, fantastic to hear it isn't dead in the water =) 

I will second that.

 

So hopefully before too long it will be possible to produce a good Southern/BR Isle of Wight layout with a comprehensive selection of motive power. Now what we want is for someone to produce ready to run 54ft LB & SCR and SE & CR coaches, then its full steam ahead.

 

All the best

..... 54 ft coaches...a wish list too far probably. .....

Far too many small-number variants to be commercially viable ............ but I'd love to be proved wrong - there were still one or two unmodified ( SECR ) sets on the mainland that I could justify for my 1948 layout.

Model Rail has just landed on my doorstep and confirms that they are withdrawing from the project. However Rapido "is looking to bring this project to fruition" and asking for our views here

Pity they can't spell Billinton. 

 

Neither could I for a long while. They'll learn, as I did.

No livery option for LBSCR black?

 

Would look smart. Was it widely applied to this class?

So Marsh umber is inauthentic?

Marsh umber was only generally applied after the great war,most likely to use up existing paint stocks .Some C2X and C3 goods engines also received it,amongst other classes,but after the livery changes of 1905,the general goods livery was lined glossy black

Going back to the first posting, the Marsh umber version originally proposed was:

 

MR-403  B96 - Marsh umber but with 'B' prefix as applied by SR

 

Which fits; presumably this is what Rapido have in mind. In other words, no 1905 livery option was offered.

 

The full list was:

 

MR-401  97 - LBSCR Stroudley Improved Engine Green

MR-402  127 - LBSCR Stroudley Goods Green

MR-403  B96 - Marsh umber but with 'B' prefix as applied by SR

MR-404  2142 - SR black (pre-War) 

MR-405  2606 - SR black, 'sunshine' lettering

MR-406  32151 - BR lined black, no emblem

MR-407  32113 - BR plain black, early emblem

MR-408  32689 - BR plain black, early emblem (weathered) 

MR-409  W2 - SR (IoW) lined green

MR-410  W4 - BR (IoW) black, early emblem

 

Rapido's quiz offers:

There is an option to vote for the livery. However to make a specially tooled version might be a step too far...

 

 

Thanks, I hadn't spotted that livery option in the list but I see it now!

 

all the best,

 

Keith
