peterfgf Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 My vote is the Prestwin twin silo cement wagon: Hornby did it; Airfix had a kit; Bachmann abandoned it. The previous history surely demonstrates a demand and that it worthwhile bringing to market. I would buy a train load. Peterfgf 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted September 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think Accurascale could offer a very good set of modern image multiple units myself, if the Mk5’s are a benchmark to be judged against. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Melrose Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Please remember to carry on making provision in the base product for those who work in the more accurate gauges. The early products definitely did so and I really hope this is adopted as a firm principle for future developments. Stan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only thinking about Hornbys 50 recently. Went on ebay to get one on the cheap for a repaint only to find they are still crazy expensive. If the model was slightly better I'd be happy to pay what was being asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, notwithstanding the huge sums of money involved in development and production, then of course for the purchaser to hand over. I would have thought the "star" series of 37x and 17x units should have enough commonality for slides to cope with some of the differences. Many people would probably say "too modern" but the Accurascale lads and Cavalex have summarily dismissed that concept. More in keeping with my era I wonder if the class 302, 304, 305, 307 and 308 family could be embraced with slides for variants. Not very knowledgeable on the Southern non gangways EMUs but there might be more commonality. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
