For Carlisle, c. 1914 say, you'll need at least one of: Claughton Prince of Wales George the Fifth Precursor Experiment Jumbo McIntosh 4-6-0 Dunalastair I/II/III/IV Compound 999 Belpaire H-boiler 4-4-0 1400 Class 2-4-0 for piloting 381 Class 4-6-0 Any Manson 4-4-0 Reid Atlantic Scott or other Reid 4-4-0 Whatever was coming over from Newcastle - M1 or maybe F? M&C 0-4-2 or 2-4-0 and that's just the passenger side. Those fellows building Carlisle in France - what's their period? 1950s? They've got it easy.

For those seeking a period LNWR bogie carriage, without having to paint/line it, there is a 57' D133 PC kit with the pre-printed sides on Ebay. This is one of the later kits with etched bogie,s etc.The seller must be aware of the rush of enthusiasm on here as the starting price is £65. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274575239406?ul_noapp=true 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Butler Henderson 1,743 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Occurred to me what else Locomotion could do re Hardwicke in its active preserved days is commission a short run of MR 1000s with Hardwicke as a twin pack although quite what the asking price would be is another matter.

Jol Wilkinson 6,909 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 A further tranche of PC Models pre-printed LNWR coaches on Ebay, built ones this time. Has the announcement of the Locomotion LNWR Improved Precedent woken up those traders/modellers with stock on their hands? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MrTea 752 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I’ve finally managed to get round to watching the announcement video from Locomotion Models. It’s nicely done with lots of information. My favourite part was the segment featuring Ant Coulls from the museum talking about the history of the class and the infamous ‘Races to the North’ in the late 1800s: The models look absolutely exquisite. It makes you want to recreate the WCML in the 1890s or the Shildon cavalcade nearly 90 years later!

The "iconics" (GNR No1, Hardwick) have appeared, the Spinner belongs with them, Rapido have mastered a single, John from Rails in a recent interview with Jenny Kirk said they have lots in the pipeline including something he hopes to announce soon in the new year; so with absolutely no knowledge or proof whatsoever I am sure we will see one sooner rather than later.
