As consistent as the negative response from some OO modellers that it would be nice to provide the same models in the two most popular scale/gauges. Its not as though it requires a new tooling in N. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually look forward to the near identical post every quarter from the same user, its amusing as much as it must be frustrating... if a new n gauge model were to pop up each 1/4 we’d lose a consistent ironic post ! (Maybe replace it with a blue plaque to mark the thread’s place in history) ;-) Edited June 18, 2020 by adb968008 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Problem is , N isn’t popular enough to sell out Limited editions, thus you might as well just burn money . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to be the first person to say... There IS something in it for me.... its just in the wrong scale. could it pass as a OO gauge model of a 7” gauge model ?

Steamport Southport Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Not considering the track would be 2 foot 3 inches wide. You might get away with some kind of seaside train. How big are those Princesses at the MRC which came from Butlins? 21 inches gauge apparently.

Opelsi Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 With the latest announcement of imminent releases including both another RTC Class 24/0 'Experiment' and the Class 46, I wonder if we might see the Class 46 return as RTC 'IXION' again for the next Collector's Club Model? I have already renewed my membership (excellent value) and could see this as a big carrot for others to renew/join the Bachmann Collector's Club!

steve1 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Instead of so many big ticket items, my preference would be for some more 3 wagon packs, preferably BR types. It was the BR Engineers set that made me join originally I have maintained my membership since then, and I agree it is still good value. The magazine alone makes it worthwhile; member’s exclusive models are just a bonus for me, not my raison d’etre for staying. steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I aren't in the right era for plank wagons, but they'll do on the preserved side of my layout even though I'd probably not buy them myself. I do in general like the choices of locos for the CC, either oddments from the past or present (such as the SNCB 90 and Cable Thieves 57, both of which if in era I'd definitely have) or preserved stuff. I have Joem, I keep flirting with Central Star/Leicester City but given it is more expensive than I can buy an NRM Evening star or the same price as Hornby's retooled ES I have declined so far. They don't seem to do much with modern wagons, but I expect that other than vehicles suitable for 1 off in a train (DRS blue FNA for example) that one offs wouldn't really work well.
