No. there weren't many Southern 0-6-0Ts to start with ! ( relative to the other groups ) G6 &E2 are probably the only other BR survivors missing in 4mm scale. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody made a R Class RTR. More of them than the P Class and people have hoovered them up for some bizarre reason. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big James Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 We’ve also got the LBSCR E1 on the horizon to. Which is more long lived then the R1 or P. Big James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
autocoach Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Any rumor of long range plans to do additional streamlined Merchant Navy's. I bough the 1941 21C1 Channel Packet more as a display shelf model, but am looking for a slightly modified higher numbered MN that would have been hauling the Atlantic Coast Express in 1946-47 Waterloo to Salisbury. Still Southern Malachite of course. I can't abide nationalization paint schemes and the subsdquent utter disfiguration of the class. When the new MN's were announced it was pointed out that the tooling design allowed almost all variations up to the full rebuild. Now we have the Bullleid coaches and a fairly wide range of Maunsells with a proper 1945-47 MN we could have a fairly good RTR recreation of the finest last flowering of the Southern.

BritishRail60062 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I think I am going to be on a shopping binge for the Coca-Cola as that Christmas tanker train behind a Hornby Class 60 for my Christmas video this year (well that's the plan) is going to be epic! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we can keep discussion of him to the appropriate thread? Yes, but our modelling colleague was disappointed at the news. Only trying to cheer him up, by looking at the positive of something that didn't inspire him. How does the song go......"Things could be bad, things could be better, things could be bad and they could be much worse!" (No wonder its raining round thee parts LOL!) Regards, C.
