Arthur Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Well, we'll soon see what's coming but you have to say that, with these slow reveals, they're running an effective teaser campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenser Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Complete Speculation - actually just plain old guessing, on my part ... Ixion recently said this on these very forums ... "3. O Scale Locomotive Ixion is also collaborating with another UK company on the production of a ready-to-run 7mm scale standard gauge steam locomotive suitable for both the UK and Australian markets. More information about this model will be available soon." I'm away from my reference books but off the top of my head standard gauge must mean New South Wales - especially as they have announced the C32 class 4-6-0s (very much the NSWGR's mainstay throughout 20th century steam - along with a Standard Goods tender) , and the list of NSWGR classes that also ran in Britain is short. The 18 class 0-6-0Ts, the small class of 2-4-0Ts which were based on an IOW design and the 2-6-0s which were also sold to the MSWJR are about it (Z25 class in NSWGR terms I think - but with 3 very similar 2-6-0 classes from different builders I am never sure of the class number without checking) . I think the M&GNJR had some Beyer Peacock 4-4-0s with strong similarities to some of NSW's Beyer Peacock 4-4-0s On the private side , someone in NSW bought a very familiar looking British 0-6-0T industrial (Manning Wardle? I'd need to check) and there are the big imports on the private coal lines in the Hunter valley - ex Mersey Railways 0-6-4Ts and much more iconic the ROD 2-8-0s bought by J&A Brown , though I would have thought they might be a bit big for Ixion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 11, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2014 If it is R-T-R model railways I wonder if they will come to dominate the market as they do the diecast market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeharvey22 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Any one notice 12v has appeared so we have 00 gauge trains with 12v electrics. Time is moving on fast - launch date advanced by at least a week since the frothing began. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold teaky Posted October 11, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I don't know enough about LSWR locomotives to know and having looked at the first few pictures I could find on the web I can't tell the difference in the front ends when related to the deliberately vague Oxford Rail picture. The radial tank does have a good following but your T3 idea might be a locomotive with a wider range. Since there are preserved examples of each with stovepipe chimneys that doesn't help either. It will be a bit of fun over the next few days to see what appears from the mist. Edited October 11, 2014 by teaky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 One things for sure. It doesnt look North Eastern! Whether its the Radial tank or something else no doubt some people will be happy with the annoucement so good on them.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hippo Posted October 11, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2014 Taken from the Oxford Diecast Collectors Facebook page which anyone can join, posted about 4hrs ago. "So what is Oxford Rail about. Well we have been producing rail related products at the factory for the last few years, as a pre-cursor to introducing our own range of OO scale rail products. We have a list as long as your arm , but we will release products in a controlled way. We already have several in tooling - simple to locos. There a lot of competition out there, but we will try and create our following...." This sounds very interesting to me Owen 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

69843 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 With the amount of smaller companies coming out, and the broader range of products being made that may never have been considered viable before as RTR (both from the big boys and smaller companies), it's certainly a good time to be a modeller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
