The railcars were tiny to start with, mixing H0 with 4mm might be pushing the tininess a bit far. A type 22 was also trialled a few years later. It's the 22 that appeals more to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they haven't done so yet as we are running beyond 'maximum permitted load' in the LNER Locos category and the class has seldom been requested. Maybe one day. Brian (on behalf of The 00 Poll Team) Perhaps they can be subbed in when someone produces an E4... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 That will be next year then? After many years, I acquired an E4 kit at Warley, to complete my shed roster for the Cambridge area (and it is a large roster). After all the previous last-but-one was an N7, which I also got from Warley a little while back......still not quite finished, and Oxford beat me to it.....

Jason Pape Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I love the Paget engine, I’m biased towards everything Midland Railway though. Some people think the real engine was possibly sabotaged by Richard Deeley because Paget wasn’t from an engineering background (he worked in the carriage and wagon department at Derby under Johnson) Paget designed other engines too which were based on Kirtley and Johnson designs but combined together. Only the Paget engine was built in the end but his other designs were interesting too. The only way anyone will know if the rumours about the Paget engine being sabotaged Are true or not would have to build a replica but built to 21st century standards, it could also be improved upon in service like Tornado too. Thank you for an interesting poll and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for an interesting poll and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Cecil Paget was in the Locomotive Department, being Works Manager in Deeley's time. He'd trained under S.W. Johnson. Possibly his greatest handicap in relations with his colleagues in that department was that his father, Sir Ernest, was the company chairman. I suspect that Johnson had been very happy to pack him off to Schenectady for several months to oversee construction of their batch of moguls. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2019 The Emmet locos can be had in Gn15 as kits from Smallbrook, though wonderful I can’t see them being given a tv update Slightly disappointed that the Camberwick Green‘s Bessie and the Magic Roundabout train didn’t make the list 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covkid Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I think one of the candidates for this poll should have been the little boxy Peebles / Ganz electric locos for the PB&SSR narrow gauge railway. Sadly the project was stillborne and they never ran, but I believe one was exhibited at the Crystal Palace exhibition. Imagine a 009 version amongst all the other 009 products in the scale's "rennaisance" !! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobjUK Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I was going to vote for the Sentinel gyro electric loco - it's in the poll list but it's not in the voting page! Turbine electric as second choice. For next years "quirky", how about a Fairmont speeder - they were probably some of the oddest real-world "locomotives" actually mass produced! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Colin Posted December 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2019 What about Fowler’s Ghost? Possibly the most obscure loco to run in the London area. Also the USA built diesels that worked at Dagenham Ford works - although I think I may have seen one in 0 gauge. The Blenkinsop rack loco could also be a contender for next year! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Dagenham locos were British-built, albeit to an American design (they were essentially the same as those used in Ford's US factories).

RMweb Gold Firecracker Posted December 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) On the hit list of ‘things I’m keeping an eye out for’ is a cheap Hornby peckett (I understand that’s what’s underneath the tin work), so I can do this (not my photo) That and I’d buy a Sirapite tomorrow if it was available in OO.

The Black Hat Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Quite surprised that Lion or/aka Titfield Thunderbolt did not make the list - as the votes for that would probably put it straight into contention as a model to be made.

I don't know why anyone should be sad, disappointed or whatever when it's a quirky, fun poll that the team put some time into.
