Tiptonian Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Also, could we have Drivers, firemen and shunters in 0 gauge painted and unpainted, please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Maybe Dapol could go down the vehicle route in N-gauge, quite a lot to choose from, cars, vans, lorrys etc. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37255 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well seeing as we've been invited to 'wishlist' (interesting verb!), I'd like to put in another vote for OO scale industrials! How about B2994/6 Victor/Vulcan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G. My and Richard's turns with the invisible ink pens... N Gauge road vehicles would be better particularly 1980's on wards. Yes.. How about a British N-gauge Bristol VR and Leyland National to start with... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapolDave Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 OK, here i fly my flag. I'd love to do N gauge busses and vehicles to 1:148 scale. Indeed we had a tasty scale routemaster cad/cam done a few years back and were very close to pressing the button for a terrific plastic model, including seats flush glazing (not recessed etc), then one came out in die cast, so we decided against it. Again we also looked at Transit vans and modern cars, but licencing was an issue was getting permission was quite easy, but the cost of the licence to use the logo and name was out of ours, and i suspect most model railway companies bodgets. This is probably why older vehicles where the cmpany is no longer in existance are made instead of younger ones, as there is no licence to pay, although this may change as existing car and van companies (even bus companies) realise what they still own by way of older names of cars and companies, and envoke this ownership. This is already being seen in model railway locomotives and rolling stock, Trainload Coal, RES etc have been noticed by a certain company as being part of their protfolio and they have made overtures as to royalty payments.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 23, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2012 How about modern vans in plain white, red, blue etc. then leave any branding up to the individual? This would mean just one license being obtained. How are Network Rail about getting licenses at reasonable prices, as modern N scale ones can be seen in all over the UK and often in multiple at one location?

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted January 23, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2012 This is probably why older vehicles where the cmpany is no longer in existance are made instead of younger ones, as there is no licence to pay, although this may change as existing car and van companies (even bus companies) realise what they still own by way of older names of cars and companies, and envoke this ownership. If you have a look at the back page of an Oxford Diecast catalogue you'll find lots of words explaining where all the trademarks and designs have been licenced from. These include Bedford vehicle body TK, HA and CA as Vauxhall trademarks whilst Austin and Morris belong to Nanjing Automobile Group. I'm guessing like TOCs, some are less concerned about their vehicles and logos being reproduced - or are happy to let their old deisngs be licensed for pennys compared to newer designs. Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave I Don't know about railway operators, but for bus operators, there is a lot of variation in how they allow their image to be used for models. Regarding current (post privatisation) liveries, one of the big national operating groups was at one time alegedly demanding £1 per bus sold from the diecast manufacturers, while another had an exclusive deal with one manufacturer rumoured to be a 5 figure sum over the period of the deal... Contrast that with one of the larger independents who see it as free publicity and the only conditions are that the MD aproves the liveries before production and gets one to go in the cabinet in his office! For older liveries (NBC and earlier) there is an odd situation where due to the way NBC reconfigured its operating companies over the years, a present day company of the same name may not own the rights to previous liveries/logos - the NBC double arrow for example is a trademark of National Express Coaches, regardless of what fleetname you put next to it (even though they haven't used it themselves for over a decade) Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROADTRAIN1979 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Back on topic good chaps, the more n' gauge variation the the better as in loco emus dmus and road vehicles i have said what i would like to see in road vehicles what about other ideas like working products.

You could always get around that problem by releasing the model as a Forde Transet or a similar name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could produce packets of corporate lawyers, cheaply moulded in a frangible material, for us to lash to the track in front of our trains. Unbranded of course.

RMweb Premium Kris Posted January 24, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well you've made lots of coaches but where are the passengers? How about bulk packs of unpainted seated passengers. Not just singles but pairs. If these were done for n gauge then there would only need to be a limited number of designs as the view within is limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll second that, it frustrates me a little to see so many layouts (of all scales) where the coaches are brightly lit and otherwise empty.

valeofyork Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 HSTs in East Coast and East Midlands liveries. 67 and stock in Arriva Trains Wales livery (they've not got round to sticking any vinyls on the real ones yet, but as they've been painted it's on,y a matter of time!) 67 and stock in Chiltern livery (when the completed version appears) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted January 26, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2012 Having marvelled at the recent Dapol B-B (had my vote in diesel model of the year 2011) and looking forward to the class 21/29 how about a definitive class 24/25? Having spent the last few nights detailing an old Hornby bodyshell into a 24/1 one is bound to come along now....surely? Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROADTRAIN1979 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thinking of the 31 in 'n' if it was to be included .... it would actually be much better than the farish, for a start it would be dcc ready a better chassis for sound fitting without having to hack it like the farish and of course better cab styling Still it is a wish list and dave said to go for it as everyone else has on their wants and wishes.
