RMweb Premium Crepello Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think it's time we started frothing to liven things up! Sorry Andy! I hope Mr Bachmann will take note! How about a Crab and an 8F for the steamers (you've already got the tenders on the way). How about a re-tooled 40 for the diesel from the OO design? I shall expect to see these announced in July. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Cocks Junction Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Why not? BR Ex-GWR NON-CORRIDOR STOCK BR Standard 4MT 4-6-0 BR Ex-GWR NON-CORRIDOR STOCK BR Standard 2MT 2-6-0 BR Ex-GWR NON-CORRIDOR STOCK Dukedog BR Ex-GWR NON-CORRIDOR STOCK Dean Goods BR Ex-GWR NON-CORRIDOR STOCK 43xx 2-6-0 Just to amplify on the BR Ex-GWR NON-CORRIDOR STOCK, it's the stock most seen in photos of GWR branch line trains, and it's also frequently seen on pics of secondary route trains. It's the coaching stock most conspicuously missing from any RTR-stocked GWR branch or secondary line based layout. It'd probably go down quite well in 00 too. Some of the earlier Collett corridors (as formerly done (sort of) by Hornby) would be nice as well. And so would some ready-to plant Cambrian or GWR-style buildings. Thanks in advance.

RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 My predictions for Farish 2014/15 (apart from the already announced train sets and packs) : New tooling: 8F with coreless motor Standard 4MT 4-6-0 GWR 56XX LNER K3 158 DMU and Thompson corridor stock Re-liveries: 101 in Strathclyde orange/black 150/1 in Silverlink Mk2s in Network SouthEast Mk1s in InterCity swallow charter livery with white roofs Scenecraft: A selection of Settle & Carlisle-related structures to tie in with the 25th anniversary of the line's reprieve.

ThaneofFife Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Quite nice to see some of the kyle-inverness clan mk2s and WHL mk1s in cream and green livs. Upspeccing of the class 87 and 90 to current blue riband spec. Dcc light bar ready coaching stock. Mk1s in executive livery Mk1 SLC composite sleeper inter-city Class 40 retool starting in haymarket spec Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Budgie Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'd like to see Farish do an Electrostar and a Networker EMU. There have been plenty of liveries for them to issue those in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomag Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Dcc light bar ready coaching stock. Mk1 SLC composite sleeper inter-city Unless Farish intend to do a light bar they are unlikely to have provision for them. The last Mk1 SLC (on the Inverness service to 1984) was withdrawn in blue/grey and never received intercity livery. Otherwise great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TomE Posted February 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2014 I would imagine the Class 40 is a dead cert to be upgraded in N now the new OO version is out. In fact my gast would be flabbered if it wasn't in this years announcements. Re-tooled Class 158 is also a good bet considering they are doing it in OO and the 2P was in the old Poole range so given the recent OO version that is another likely one I would imagine. 8F is an outside chance, after all they have the chassis from the WD, assuming the same core chassis components could be used as the basis. Re-built Merchant Navy perhaps? Again in the original Poole range and now they have the boxpox wheels it'd be a shame not to use them! (Plus this is top of my 'want' list!) And finally, wandering off into the wilds that is wish list territory, part of me would like to see the 9F resurrected. It doesn't look like we are getting any more from Dapol any time soon. Tom.

RMweb Premium Grafarman Posted February 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2014 I personally hope they give us a retooled class 40 before I buy any more older versions - I never realised the North Wales Coast had so many visiting during their operational life... And as I model various eras I'd like a 2- and 3-car 175 Coradia - can't be that big a leap from the 170's they do now can it...? David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucazone Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Could be that a retooled 105 of Derby Lightweight is inbound. Success with the EPB gives rise to a baby brother. Possibly more 20s, 47. Im with others though. A down size of the 40. If branch out is a possibility, we could see a South West Trains 450, or more liveries for the 4CEP?

The last Mk1 SLC (on the Inverness service to 1984) was withdrawn in blue/grey and never received intercity livery. Otherwise great. I wrote "inter-city" (so ergo Blue and Grey) Spot the hyphen Even if the Mk1 Sleepers did come in InterCity or INTERCITY liveries, a call for just an SLC kind of defeats the whole point of having a complete set. Then we would need SLF and SLSTP to match. And of course a light bar ready coach aint much use to anybody without aaaaaa.......light bar! I thought the implication was erm..... implied and an easy spot to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin1985 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Didn't Bachmann announce versions of the Mk 2 air cons with built in lighting - or was that only in OO rather than N? I would imagine the trend now would be for factory additions justifying a higher price, rather than accessories - value added! Many of the suggestions above sound sensible: Class 40 - dead cert copy of OO Class 158 - similar dead cert given that the OO model is being upgraded. Will be some way off though. Updated commemorative versions of the original Mainline releases seem inevitable, but would they be in N as well? On this logic - how about a new 94xx or J69 to commemorate Farish's first models? On reliveries I suspect Bach/Far will be as conservative as usual - no NSE, maybe a limited range of Intercity Exec Mk1s, and some of the missing sector liveries on diesels. Otherwise endless new numbers on existing green diesels, wagons etc. I suspect exciting liveries will be deliberately confined to train packs.

RMweb Premium Crepello Posted February 5, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks to all my fellow frothers--the 40 seems a clear winner so far. Here's another to conjure with--an update for the Peaks, including nearer scale-width bogies. You know it makes sense! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted February 5, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2014 And another! An updated V2 please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted February 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2014 I can't see the Peak or V2 being updated yet - in comparison to some models in the range they are "relatively" (!) modern. I'd be amazed if the 40 wasn't shrunk down. I'm surprised the EPB or 105 hasn't been shrunk. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted February 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't normally do frothing but it is fun. I reckon a good outsider is an S&D 7F, a very good seller in OO despite only eleven being built and having a comparatively tiny geographical range.

ThaneofFife Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 might be too soon given that the early ones havent rolled off the production line yet but scotrail liveried versions of the Mk2f's. However it could be that they only used e or d coaches on those Aberdeen - Glasgows - cant remember. Might not make much difference to users who want to run a DBSO with their 47/7 away from the Glas-Edin Mk3 runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 As well as the aforementioned EPB, 105 & 40, I'd also like to see the 85 shrunk down, but I'd be very surprised if that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (As I've been told) Graham Farish haven't produced a Class 47 with a cut-away buffer beam. So if that is true then I'd like to see one. It would also be nice it the add wire handrails to their Class 47s. And Graham Farish really need to issue Class 47's in more liveries:-Railfreight Distribution (blue roof)RESWest Coast RailwaysColas RailEWSFreightliner GreyAdvenza FreightDRS (compass livery)FragonsetCotswold RailAngliaONE AngliaJeff B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't any more liveries that Farish can apply to the 4CEP in its current guise (apart from all-blue with small yellow panel as applied to a handful of units before blue/grey became standard - that is a very small market indeed). The 'Jaffa Cake', NSE and subsequent liveries were all applied to the rebuilt versions with guard's compartment in the CK and seating replacing the guard's compartments in the DMBSOs.

Karhedron Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'd like to see Farish do an Electrostar and a Networker EMU. There have been plenty of liveries for them to issue those in. Sadly unlikely. The original batch of 4-CEPs and Desiros are still in the shops and they don't seem to think it worth shrinking the 2-EPBs. Sadly I suspect that they will not be doing any more EMUs in the near future. Farish have always claimed that electrics do not sell well and the sales figures from these 2 models (as nice as the models are) seems to support them.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted February 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2014 I wonder if the Hampshire unit might pass through the shrink ray also this year? They do seem to like their DMUs! Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite this oft made claim about electrics not selling well, I wonder why Farish keep producing more if they don't sell! It isn't a new claim and yet we have had the CEP and Desiro produced plus various re-liveries of 87s and 90s.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a new claim and yet we have had the CEP and Desiro produced plus various re-liveries of 87s and 90s.... Yup, I think I made that point on another thread. If you go to Hattons for instance, there's not stock from years past hanging around, BUT the current stuff is priced to move (basically applying more than there normal discount so suddenly they are marked as BARGAINs...) so perhaps giving the appearance of stock that isn't selling.
