rapidobill Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well, we're at it again. I'll be travelling over for the York show shortly, then will be down to NRM Shildon for our next 3-D scan event to be held on April 8 from 10:00-17:00. Full details can be found on our web site at http://www.rapidotrains.com/ukscan2.html or on locomotionmodels.com. Hope to see many of you there! For those who can't make the event, full details will be made public on April 8. Oh.... what is it? I would think that would be obvious....

Luke There are two rapido models in the offing, this is the locomotion one and yet to be scanned, not the 'done in plastc rtr before etc' one which has already been scanned but not revealed and is a pure Rapido offering I think. I'm guessing HST prototype for the locomotion scanning party. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

micklner Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Locomotion stock 8 pages of steam ,2 pages of Diesel, 1 page of Electric and 2 of powered Units. Unless something is brought in Steam seems favourite . I would have Aerolite please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My money is on HST prototype or Stirling Single. The only thing is the HST prototype is not at Shildon while Rapido have not done a kettle yet! Other option is the LEV1 prototype rail bus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm sure he meant to say Hardwicke please My money is on ... Stirling Single. A 120th anniversary "race to the North" set of a GNR Stirling Single and the LNWR Precedent Hardwicke. (Sell like the proverbial griddle cooked batter to the silent majority of secret plinthers. Just the thing for the NRM.) I like these ideas, but would Jason? It is Bill who started this thread though. Let's see: Something GWR, with interesting undercarriage detail. I know, a GWR "SMU" including a rail motor and trailer set? (Lots of undercarriage details there.) No, Kernow's got the railmotor project and it's not in the NRM collection. Does it have to be a locomotive I wonder? How about a motorized GWR toplight slip coach, diagram F16? (If only there were one at Shildon they could crawl around underneath.) Jason loves detailed interiors. How about a Castle with working GWR ATC? Castles? How about a kerosene Castle? No, that's not in the collection either. How about North Star in a 0028* scale/gauge - at least it's at Shildon? They'd have to sell 28mm "Bendy Baulk" to go with it. (What a market there!) * Perhaps in the best British model railway tradition that should be 24.6mm (H0IKB). No? Well I'm stumped. It's back to matchy, matchy, streamlined multiple units again then.

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted March 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm still pushing for scale chaired track. But a bit solider than the flexy-track that won't even support a Geep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Vistisen Posted March 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2015 I know it's not british, but Jason what about one of these monsters, Built in Denmark as a multiple unit for intercity work in the 60's, It will fit nicely along side my apt-e on the 50 GWR branchline using rule 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bigbee Line Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It could be a decent Terrier in 4mm. Has that been suggested before? It could even come with spare wheelsets for P4. The chassis could be designed from the outset to incorporate a speaker and large stay alive capacitor. Another option would be an ex SECR P class.

tamperman36 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Unless I'm mistaken 1 of the 5 LEVs is still over the water on the American continant, however there are differences between each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karhedron Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Oh.... what is it? I would think that would be obvious.... It's pretty easy to work out. It needs to be something iconic, something that will appeal to collectors and Rule#1 modellers alike. Something that has never been produced RTR before. It can only be the Velocipede!

Not likely, unfortunately, if only because there are no Terriers at Shildon to my knowledge (Boxhill's in the NRM at York), but I doubt Jason would do a steam loco, especially such a small one, at this moment in Rapido's UK outline approach.
