I would have thought that with Hornby's Sentinel being well received, enough to justify a rod coupled version, that a four coupled industrial steam loco was the logical next step. ...

kingfisher9147 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I would like to see a model of Peckett W6 which shares the same chassis as a W4, but also some of the special that peckett done like Merlin peckett w6-s. and many others. mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanchester Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Couple of thoughts. How about the Kerr Stuart 'Victory' 0-6-0T of 1917? I know there were only eight, but it 'ought' to have been the WW1 equivalent of the 'Austerity'/J94 0-6-0ST from the later conflict, and then everyone would have had one! As it is, three ended up with BR (2 via the GWR and one from the East Kent), one was with the Lambton and Hetton (my dad's favourite engine when he was a kid) and the other four with various industrial users. On another theme, and since I mentioned Lambton, someone earlier suggested 0-6-2T no 29. Apart from the cab this was a standard Kitson design I think (at least that's how it was offered when my great grandfather, Lambton's Chief Engineer, bought it!). Kitson also supplied 0-6-2Ts to the 'main lines' - Hull & Barnsley, and LCDJR spring to mind. Not having access to my references, how close were these to No 29, and would an RTR be produceable in several variants to cover these, or am I right with my nasty feeling that there may have been significant differences such as wheel diameter? A bit niche but I'd love to see a Consett Iron Co 'long boiler' 0-6-0PT, especially for those who strive after authentically ropey 'industrial' trackwork. Could be hours of innocent enjoyment for spectators (when permitted). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Moxy Posted February 16, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 16, 2021 The Kerr Stuart Victory is on its way. I'm sure somebody has recently done a 3D print or a resin cab for a Lambton tank, but I can't find a link to it at the momentt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted February 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) We're doing Lambton 29/30/31 as a kit, to be released later this year (hopefully!). The top of the cab is a separate component so in theory could be changed by the user. Edited February 17, 2021 by Corbs 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
