multivac Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) NIR 80 Class please. All the liveries including the "Doctor Yellow" Sandite engineering train. Unless I've missed the announcement. 😁 Edited April 9, 2023 by multivac 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking it would be good to see some more Teak stock from the GER or some different GWR stock to go with the Manors. An upgraded version of the GWR coaches branded Bachmann but possibly from Replica originally. They would fit very well with the manors.

And with the range expanded beyond the TO TK and BCK....Their origins actually go all the way back to Mainline, though I'm not sure if any so branded were actually released before Palitoy gave up on model trains. A proper full range of Centenaries would also be nice, but possibly too many different in a rake to be commercially attractive. I already have plenty of Hornby Collett and Hawksworth coaches waiting to keep my Manor busy. John Edited April 10, 2023 by Dunsignalling 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I would certainly be quite happy to buy Colletts in a si,ilar vain to the previous Bachmann/Replica models, obviously just as more accurate models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a teeny tiny engine to go with the chaldrons, it has to be this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure of the designer or vehicle types but I have one of each in maroon. They really need the Lazerglaze treatment to look special, so I look at them, then put them back in the box hoping that a manufacturer might see their chance in the marketplace. Hitherto it was Bachmann or Hornby, but these days Accurascale Rapido or Dapol could easily come up with the goods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do want a manufacturer to do coaches that have a similar livery to that used on the Hattons GWR Genesis coaches in terms of the milky chocolate colour which looks so good.

Damo666 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) How about some Irish CIE Craven coaches, especially covering the 1970s - 1980s, please? The 2nd-hand MM models which come up on a certain retailler seem to go for eye-watering prices, a few quid short of a £100! A few years ago I got a few from the same retailler for £32, but £95 is..... well, way outside my budget. An Accurrascale model would be most welcome (but not at £95 😁 ) Edited April 11, 2023 by Damo666 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Would be interesting if Accurascale did some early GWR Clerestory coaches maybe? Though there are many models that are yet to be done so maybe best to see if we end up with some different stock to that already having been produced.

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted April 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2023 I may be working off incomplete intelligence, but there is a possibility that Hattons own the PHV hopper tooling outright, so I’m going to plant the suggestion here. They are extremely in demand! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 If Accurascale have acquired a large portion of former Hattons Originals toolings, including the Barclay and a few other things then it would be good to see them return with improvements. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they ? I don't think we will be privy to that information unless either company releases it. I imagine further runs of Andrew Barclay 0-4-0s would be quite saleable in all manner of liveries. Alongside that building Britain range there should also be some Andrew Barclay diesels too. Edited April 12, 2023 by Covkid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's been confirmed, just rumours that go around I guess. But would be good to see Andrew Barclays with dumb buffers for the Chaldrons, wouldn't require too much modification to the tooling either I don't think. Diesel wise I still want to see the Ebbw Vale 0-8-0s in 00 gauge RTR but they're rather niche so don't expect it to happen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Tell you what would be good, a new tooled 5700/8750 class Pannier Tank, as they haven't had a new tooling in what, 40 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my belief that the 5700/8750/9700 classes could be done better than the current models available, and with over 800 locomotives it’s a large class which hasn’t really been done to 21st Century standards. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, to be fair, my Bachmann ones have sprung centre axles so are arguably superior to the same maker's newer 64xx and 94xx models.... Neither can I really envisage a new one looking significantly better from a couple of feet away when running on a layout, however much improvement goes into it...
