luke_stevens Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I think the curious thing is why are they suddenly announcing something 2 days before Warley? I wonder if they are going to announce something that someone else was already going to announce? Adams Radial and Class 71's again? Luke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Maybe, as has been suggested, we are going to get a stonker of a 1930's auto Trailer. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I hate to disappoint but I’m reliably informed it’s the mega Garrett that The Southern proposed for the west of England line in 1934, in malachite green What? The Southern actually attempted to consider something that actually might MOVE a freight train? That cant be right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2017 What? The Southern actually attempted to consider something that actually might MOVE a freight train? To be fair, the Urie mixed traffic 4-6-0s were very good fast freight movers, as good as anything else in the country when they were introduced and better than most. But i know what you mean... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Hattons don't have stand at Warley so if they do suspect a Radial situation again, they want you to pre-order before Warley. Whatever it is, I would wait till Saturday to make sure no ones going to announce a possibly better one at Warley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iltman Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 What? The Southern actually attempted to consider something that actually might MOVE a freight train? That cant be right. I was reading it in Bradley, apparabtly the cme proposed a 4-6-2 2-6-4 for the west of English line from Basingstoke to Exeter and they would have been the biggest engines ever to run in the UK. The order was approved by the board and Beyer Peacock was asked to enter a quote and then the whole thing just faded. I like to imagine one pounding through Honiton on the ACE! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted November 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2017 It's a lineside group of a set of young scallywags stealing the cable. A South African GMAM garret. That would really fire up my imagination. Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadmill Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Another industrial loco would be nice like a Thomas Hill Steelman (Army or Defence Logistics) or an 0-8-0 Sentinel. However my guess will be a wagon. I'd love some LMR Birdcage/van wides personally. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 To be honest I would think that Longmoor Military Railway stock would be more up Invicta's street. They already have the LMR Brake Van and Suburban Coach in their range of limited editions. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted November 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Another industrial loco would be nice....... Yes it would, though Ruston and Hornsby would be my choice, well actually a choice of two. The 88DS would be the choice of the head with a range of BR departmental liveries available as well as the usual industrial variants, the 48DS the choice of the heart as it's just so appealing and gives a choice of cab styles. I could see either of these two (perhaps the 48DS more so) getting modellers to put in industrial connections/sidings to justify their appearnce in much the same way as the Hornby Pecket opened the nations wallets.

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted November 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm going to hazard a guess that it won't be a competitor with their current models in production. So it would be very unlike the Barclay or P Class. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted November 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) What? The Southern actually attempted to consider something that actually might MOVE a freight train? That cant be right. It would have been some beast, but wasn't intended solely for freight traffic. The Southern had different commercial priorities to the northern lines and their freight trains had to be light enough to pick up their heels so as not to hold up their more important passenger traffic. Moving wasn't usually the issue, who else had an 0-6-0 with a class 5F power rating*? Unfortunately, the Q1s weren't as good at stopping. The opposite applied, I gather, to the Lancashire & Yorkshire, which is said to have regarded passenger traffic as an infernal nuisance that took up paths they could have used more profitably for additional coal trains.

Steamport Southport Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Nah. The L&YR was predominently a suburban railway with one of the densest networks outside the South East. Most of it was eventually going to be electrified. What it lacked was long distance passenger traffic so didn't need big express passenger locos.

John when it came to going north from manchester to the Pennines there was no shortage of routes.. To get to Rochdale there was three routes via Bury (Bradley fold, Clifton or Heaton Park), plus Oldham and Castleton. It certainly believed in a redundant network.. at least two ways to get everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
