Karl Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 5 hours ago, Downer said: Fran’s statement does not suggest a new tooling to me. I agree. So my second guess in addition to the note being about taking on the distribution of hattons models is the second batch of Manors. I seem to recall the second batch of class 37s being teased in a similar "little announcement" way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny151 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 There was a tease a while back now of something dumb buffered to match the Chaldrons. That would more than likely fit the bill for 'interesting' and 'little', plus timeline wise could certainly be at the EP stage, which I understand is the Accurascale threshold for announcement going forward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outcast Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Obviously it'll be a 14xx, that's a little locomotive. It's never a 14xx. 😢 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

87023Velocity Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I think class 08 given age, liveries etc. I did think Bachmann would have possibly redone at some point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, an all new Class 08 has to be in the works by someone. Hornby are just following form by trickling out niche liveries and Bachmann haven't done a decent run in ages. A new version with stay alive, lights, sound and maybe even an automatic coupler would sell well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An automatic coupler is only worthwhile if all you are doing is uncoupling the loco from the stock, it doesn't help if you are shuffling wagons around in a yard 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbb Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 A very nice addition to the Accurascale nascent O gauge range would be a class 22 Diesel loco , as it is short and suitable for micro layouts ( and roundy roundies) and complements a lot of the existing hydraulic fleet available on O scale ...classes 14,35, 42,52. They worked across the south midlands and Thames valley, and of course the Bristol area and the wonderful Forest of Dean, and not just Devon and Cornwall. Come on chaps, you know it makes (commercial) sense! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted February 7 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7 Assuming that you've also taken on the 'Genesis' coach project, how far off would the generic chassis be for RTR replacement of the Ratio Dean 4-wheelers? I'm angling for a 3-compartment brake 3rd to make up a Glyncorrwg-type miners' workmans; the Hornby and existing Hatton's BTs with balloon ends are not suitable!

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted February 7 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7 The Oxford connection may prevent this, but I'd like to see a rerun of the PHV ICI hoppers. They were the first "goods trains" that I remember and I'd accumulate a full rake in advance of extending the layout so I can run full trains when I do.
