Hi everyone,

 

Well, it's less than a week away, with Ally Pally approaching us this weekend! We will be there and as part of it announce an all new locomotive in OO/4mm which will be revealed by BRM on Friday at midday.

 

What could it be? 

 

Cheers!

Enough hints on steam with the Manor being ready!

 

An EMU would be bigger!

Hmm..

 

GWR.. Saint ?

LMS.. 8f ?

SR.. Rebuilt MN ?

LNER.. nah, nope, nothing comes to mind.

BR.. nothing jumps here either.

pre1923… I can only hope with an LYR 0-6-0.

industrial… theres a major feast waiting to be tapped thats the elephant being ignored in industrials, but i’m not sure of A/S to be the ones to do it, so beyond something to shunt the Cauldrons ive nothing there either.


so into the modern..

1st choice 73/9… must must must.. but it didnt appear in Scotland, but the south is equal habitat.

2nd choice 08 (Ho hum, hornbys is ok ish, but pricey and somewhat scarce in the funny colours), so it would seem an Accurafit.

3rd choice .. if its a not a shunting loco and modern diesel then its duplication of something made since y2k.


scientifically looking at the range.. the Banana van looks lonely, and at the older BR wagons I could associate a 40 with all of them.

Can we get any hints Fran? Big, small? Steam, diesel, electric? How many axles?

He might give you 1 pixel if you say please.

 

unfortunately even if everyone said please we would still be 48million pixels short of a picture.

Fog on the Tyne.

 

 Froth on the Tyne?

 

Guinness Road tankers on their associated wagons and an Ale van for Park Royal. Got to be!

 

Just left the Guinness warehouse about half a mile away.

A class 08. Guinness had a couple of these in house colours as can be seen at the Cholsey and Wallingford. Again lots of liveries to choose from so a huge market to tap into. 
Just guessing mind.

I do wonder if the class identification will start with a 'J' - very fashionable at the moment!

 

There’s no J in Lady of Legend.

You forgot to mention how lonely all those NER hopper wagons are looking - especially as they are now entering Batch 2 territory,
