pwr Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 There is not many diesels left to do. Class 58 an obvious candidate but Class 21/22/29 and 68 already done by them in other scales so might be worth a punt . Baby Deltic was on the to do list from DJ models but that's not going to see the light of day and I would be very surprised if that got developed in O. My bet is that they will announce wagons for the 66 if its not another small tank steam loco. You can't buy anything RTR that would suit and kits for really modern stuff are few and far between. The other logical move would be to expand the Mk1 range - RMB, RB(R) or full brake possibly? Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Moss Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm putting my money on potentionally an Austerity/J94 being announced. It also wouldn't surprise me if it was something along the lines of a LMS/Midland 4F though. Would give them a Fowler tender to put behind a decent number of other smaller locos that could be produced for around the £300 mark. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Scott Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I’m hoping it’s a 142 too, would be ideal for many a small layout, nearly 40 years service, a range of liveries a sure fire winner, make it with prototypical nodding aswell. Go on Dapol you now you want to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mol_PMB Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I thought Dapol’s 142s were better known for their ‘chin’ than their nodding? At least in N gauge. I think a 142 would be a sensible choice, though it’s definitely not something I would buy even if they did manage to get the shape right. An Austerity, well I could much more easily find one of them a home. I can’t help feeling that it will be something with a copper cap though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr chapman Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The B4 must be a contender, upscale that and it would sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Since the announcement is via the O-gauge guild, I anticipate a steam loco and not a mainline diesel, my bet is for the ex- DJM J94 or the LLC Ruston I would like to see the ex- LLC class 22, but accept the perceived wisdom of the model requiring a full redesign for production. Will we ever see the CAD/CAM for the JLtRT range sold or licensed to 3rd parties such as Dapol, it almost happened, when Dapol annouced an exchange of Dapol Cad/Cam class 22 for JLtRT Western Cad/Cam Solidworks files, said to have fallen through when JLtRT deemed the Dapol Cad/Cam design incompatible with JLtRT exacting standards Edited March 4, 2021 by Pandora Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a bit galling for us N gaugers if they did do the 142 and did it all to the correct proportions in a shorter timescale. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdvle Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 While the 142 may be wished for because Dapol already have CAD, would the 153 perhaps be a more suitable modern(ish) DMU for O and for which Dapol also have drawings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
