steve1023 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 My wish list would include a: 2 EPB Class 117 or a class 105 Mk2a BFK Mk1 RBR My predictions might include the following: Last year we saw a couple of train packs announced that had been done previously as limited editions in OO like the weedkiller train and forthcoming Bullied 3 sets so I wonder if we might get some more of them. 37501 & 37502 double pack? Re-liveries I think will include new 37/4 running numbers in Large logo and DRS liveries, new running numbers on Mk2 TSO's in Blue/grey & NSE amongst others...... Quite liking the Farish buses, particularly the National & VR's so some new liveries on them would be nice. Shrunk down LT liveried class 66s, but they maybe collectors club LE. I don't expect much in the way of new loco's but if there are new loco's announced then maybe AC loco and what chance of a rebuilt merchant navy? Please note I have no knowledge of what Farish will announce so if by some miracle I have correctly predicted something it is nothing more than fluke, but please also note My history of predictions at this time of year is nothing short of dire so trust nothing I have written.....save yourself - walk away.

There is no chance of renumbering existing releases of the 37/4, there was never a further release of the older 37/4 in Large Logo Blue More likely are the liveries not yet covered (ie InterCity Mainline) Whilst it has been confirmed there is plenty of demand for the Mark 2A TSO, the later InterCity version has still not been covered Ironically a ScotRail (both text and livery) version could also be covered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 21, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2016 Quite liking the Farish buses, particularly the National & VR's so some new liveries on them would be nice. Hopefully if they do more buses they will check the livery this time, the pale green boo boo on the Green Line Leyland National released a couple of weeks back stands out as one of the biggest livery howlers for quite some time.

grahame Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 In less than two weeks time the new range list for 2016/17 will be known. Somehow I doubt any wish listing now will make it as an addition or influence the announcement (but maybe for 2017/18). Probably best to hang on patiently with fingers crossed, bums clenched and lucky mascots strapped on . . . . . G. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr chapman Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm surprised at some of the items yet to be shrunk. The 7f for example. Maybe this year. Also where are all the chocolate and cream MK1's? Have these been sidelined to promote sales of the hawksworth coaches? I really would like a shrunk down 4MT 4-6-0. Some of the limited editions in 00 have made it to regular N production, the prototype deltic for example. Outside chance of a USA tank? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold A Murphy Posted February 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I'd like them to shrink the ROD and the J11. Fat chance..... Alastair M Edited February 22, 2016 by A Murphy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No chance of a J11, Union Mills have had one in their N gauge range for several years now. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash39 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Realistically - New 158 Mk2F's nearer to release TPE liveried 350 Pie in the sky - New 87, 90 or 91 Drax biomass hoppers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold A Murphy Posted February 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2016 No chance of a J11, Union Mills have had one in their N gauge range for several years now. Roy Union Mills also had a J39 Roy - the Farish version, I hope you would agree, is a better model. I have 3 UM J11s which I am still detailing - I really like them (and doing business with UM), but it would save a huge amount of work if Farish did it. The O4 is the one I would really like to see in r-t-r n though. I'm good for three or four of those! Cheers Alastair M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2009 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I was amazed to read the list of announced-but-not-yet-launched RTR models in the Jan issue of Grahame Hedges' always excellent N Gauge Journal. Castle 64xx 4MT tank J72 40 Schools BoB / WC Pacer 33 50 59 68 Proto HST J94 Q6 Hudswell Clarke ST GWR Churchward 2-6-0 17 23 Pendolino and that's just the motive power - there's also a bewildering variety of new rolling stock to come. All of the major manufacturers will have their work cut out getting this lot to the market anytime soon. As such, I'm rather inclined to side with those who are predicting relatively slim pickings again this year.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted February 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2016 Something I noticed this morning that made me raise an eyebrow, my pre-order for the 4MT Tank was placed in March 2012, so nearly 4 years ago now. Thats one hell of a development period! I would be much happier if, rather than announcing a load of new stuff thats going to take years to come to the table, Bachmann instead announce they have resolved whatever issues they are having in their supply chain that has been causing these delays and that QC has been sorted, because we still see far too many reports of issues with N Gauge models. That and a Lord Nelson..... Not long to wait now anyway. Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zunnan Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Its been a few years since the Bulleids and Hawksworths were announced, and with the Staniers now on their third(?) batch, as well as the NGS BG being shown recently, I think it'd be worth putting a punt on Thompsons this year. They're a cert for production, the only question is over when they get their announcement. I do find it odd that the 4MT 4-6-0 hasn't had its day, and you could be forgiven for thinking 7F would be closer now that the 4F mechanism has been proven. The glut of LMS prototypes in recent years I think means its the turn of the other regions, as much as I want a Midland 3F that stands up to the wonderful 4F, I think the 'C' should be on the horizon for the next small black 0-6-0...either that or something small and Western. Oh, and following on from the 25/2, the ancient 25/3 is even more overdue its retool! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O4 is the one I would really like to see in r-t-r n though. I'm good for three or four of those! Cheers Alastair M The Farish J39 is fine, except it only covers less than one third of the class, both tenders being 4200 gallon types as found in J39/2. To get the most common J39/1 variety you need a UM with the high flat-sided tender which is nearer to a 3500 gallon type, and to get to a J39/3 you need a UM with a Midlend tender and surgery to the top of the latter to make it look like an NER type. Hence my fleet of 2 Farish and 3 UM J39s... Totally in agreement with the O4 (except maybe only a pair) , though I would have thought that a Stanier 8F would be more likely as most of chassis would be from the WD, with tenders from Black5/Jubilee (less motors) and 4F meaning a lot of the design and tooling are already done. Come to that the Crab also has its tender already tooled.... Les Edited February 23, 2016 by Les1952 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahame Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Since I've started repainting them I'll have to wager NSE mk1 coaches! That would be very nice. I've resisted the repainting temptation for that very possibility. But not long now and the announcement will put an end to all the wish listing. Well, at least for a moment or two. Then once it's digested and many realise they won't be getting what they want, . . . . the whole process will start again but with the prospect that it won't be put out of its misery until a years time.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2016 Given what I am currently working on or have just completed then Mk2z open standard and Mk1 BG in ScotRail livery plus West Highland green/cream Mk1's are a given.
