RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 19, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2018 I am just finishing a repaint of a modern tooling 2 car Class 101 into refurbished white with blue stripe livery so that has got to be a dead cert to be announced. Would prefer Strathclyde red/black though but I dread to think how much... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsontour Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Something like a T9 would be lovely, or an ivatt tank up to the standards of the recent 4mt tank. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy stroud Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Any two of 25/3, Peaks, Crab and V2 are my guess. If they were to do a 25/3, it would be good if they put some effort into getting the underframe area right. This is quite a distinctive feature of these locos. Their current 25 has what must be the most inaccurate underframe of any curent N gauge mainline diesel. A real shame as the bogies are actually quite nice.

Would prefer Strathclyde red/black though but I dread to think how much... I thought it was bizarre that Bachmann chose the 108 over the 101 when it came to having a DMU in the refurb livery as I'm sure that the latter were more numerous in this livery.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted December 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'd hoped we might see a Lord Nelson, but with Hornby nicking the OO version I guess the chances of that are now significantly reduced. A rebuilt Merchant Navy would be nice. Plenty of them still around in preservation to widen the appeal. At Warley it was suggested that they are looking at revisiting some of the early tender drive models for redesign with loco drive. The Black 5 must be an early contender for that treatment. Class 90 has to be a pretty strong possibility. New model in OO so the research is all there, and one of the few remaining original Farish models yet to be redone.

RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted December 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 23, 2018 New tooling: Class 25/3 GWR Large Prairie LMS Crab Reliveries: 150/1 in Silverlink 150/2 in FGW plain blue (based on Kernow Model Rail Centre's limited edition) Scalecraft: GER March station 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted December 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2018 With Sonic Models having picked off the 56xx, I wouldn't be totally surprised if Farish announced a "Coal Tank" or a 94xx. However, I think it's more likely that there may be no new subjects at all tackled—just some limited new tooling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMcKenzie Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I know it has already been said, but even just a realistic update on a release date for some of the exciting previous announcements like the class 319, intercity mk2s and class 31 would be great. looking to the future………re-tool the class 90 and 87 please (it's nice to dream isn't it). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough though I can't tell whether the current 25 class underframe is accurate or inaccurate. There are more important things in life. Maybe true, however progress IS regularly made, and as a result of which, we are thankfully not stuck with the likes of Hornby three rail any more.

Les1952 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It would be nice just to have the J72 in tooling with a firm (or as near as they ever get) delivery date.... Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It would be nice just to have the J72 in tooling with a firm (or as near as they ever get) delivery date.... Doubtful. AFAIR the J72 was most recently last reported as still at the 'research' stage. After that it needs to go to the 'design' stage for CADs to be produced before getting to the 'tooling' stage.

grahame Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 In terms of what I would like to see/hear announced is an N gauge class 416 EPB emu (shrunk down from their OO/4mm version). It's a little doubtful as I understand a DEMU Thumper in N is more likely. They seem to have hammered various ranges of coaches over recent years (although not all variants have been produced) with some still coming through to production, so perhaps some new wagons are more likely on the cards. With the recent release of the OO/4mm version of the Freightliner flats (FFA/FFG) I suggest they would make a good offering with their longevity from the early 60s and now that it been a while since the old, rather inaccurate, Poole Farish version was produced. Some of the original 5 wagon rakes were later reduced providing options for shorter trains and some were converted to FJA infrastructure wagons and others to FDA track panel carriers so would also provide an option for wagon bashers/modellers.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 26, 2018 I still think a long overdue retool of the old OAA and VBA would be a good idea. The OBA and OCA are excellent which makes these old Poole toolings look even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted December 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 26, 2018 N gauge DEMU would be great....as long as they do a three car. As I’ve built a class 25/3 from the current Farish class 25/1 this year the6 are bound to announce a class 25/3 for delivery in 2025! A 4 Wheel Ferry van would be good, but I expect the Freightliner flats will get the shrink ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr chapman Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I would guess... Shrink ray... E4, desperately need a Southern tank engine! They've done a GWR, LNER, LMS and BR model. H1/2. It's very pretty... And would be a good seller in N. Collett goods. Amazed it hasn't been done yet! S&D 7F. Popular theme and plenty of suitable coaching stock available. S&DJR collectors club variant possible to. 2EPB? or MLV? Please Bachmann??? Totally new I would like to see some k type Pullman's... Would go nicely with the merchant navy and other Pacific's. Given the price of the old Farish ones on eBay and the way they are still used you'd think it was a no brainer! EDIT: To be clear... I would only imagine one maybe two tops.

ThaneofFife Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 i predict very few new releases in N. maybe an AC electric with the Class 85 making the logical guess but they could revisit the Class 87 following the announcement a few years that a BR Blue 87002 and an Executive Inter-City liveried 87005 would be released but then they were quietly pulled.........granted now you expect lighting front and rear and perhaps cab lights too. Those Mk2fs are not in for another year? I find this quite amazing. that will 6 years and I thought the 00 gauge ones took ages. The prices between the N gauge version and the N gauge version is minimal now. Mk1 Inter-City Sleeper Blue & Grey SLC to complete the range. Have Mk1 POTs been announced yet in N?
