D34s were also a 6ft driving wheel variant of the D30 (6ft 6 driving wheels) with boilers being interchangeable between the two classes, as well as same cab designs, tenders, bogie wheels, and even overall wheelbase, etc so there would be common tooling. Since Accurascale have done a “family” of locos before (GWR pannier tanks) so would make sense that if the D34 is ever tackled by them, one could hit two birds with one stone with the tooling suite 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 60027Merlin Posted February 17 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17 (edited) All these points and more have been intimated to various manufacturers over the years especially at the AMRSS Show in Glasgow.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted February 17 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17 I'd say your chances are increasing; steam-outline models still sell well and the low-hanging fruit is getting higher. There are big hitters still not done in RTR, and others done previously that need retooling to current standards, but they are being picked off and once they are in production, the RTR boys will be looking for fruit higher up the tree. This is where your D30/34s and other Scottish prototypes my well find a place in the biodiverstiy; even the most obscure of prototypes will sell to some extent, because of collectors and that some people must have everything on their layouts. They will start appearing in wishlists once the Counties and Austin Sevens have been ticked off, and eventually make their way into production. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Now that you guys have the Andrew Barclay locos how about a train set / pack with a limited edition NCB liveried loco and maybe a couple of the NCB liveried wagons youve got coming? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted February 21 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21 (edited) Is the MRS announcement at the show again?

RMweb Premium E100 Posted February 21 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21 It certainly could be though I suspect they might want to make more of big bang new tooled announcement welcome as those are. The most recent loco has been the pannier (excluding the Hatton's announcements) which would be around 3 months ago. Alternatively a raft of Scottish 37's inc. 37/4's would go down very well.

BVMR21 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Taff Vale Railway O1 could be interesting to see, given it would be the only Welsh pregrouping loco done in 00 gauge ready to run... You've got Swindonised variants as well as the possibility for one in NCB condition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got Swindonised variants as well as the possibility for one in NCB condition. info about the preserved 01 here and it is notable how dreary GW livery is compared to the TVR and Hetton schemes. Alternatively an 02 is also preserved and operational on the Worth Valley. It too worked for the NCB in County Durham as Lambton No. 52. I don't think we've had an rtr Lambton engine yet - a major omission in my opinion.

BVMR21 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Either one would be cool, there is a lack of anything pregrouping from Wales, and comparatively speaking, Scottish pregrouping gets a lot of attention. If I remember correctly the O2 also takes parts from the TVR U or U1... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason As @Flying Pig says, Planet Industrials did, however more my main point on the matter is if compared to the Scottish pregrouping scene there is a lacking of motive power available ready to run when it comes to prototypes from the likes of the Taff Vale. And in regards to the Taff Vale, the TVR A Class could be one of the most interesting, and versatile locos given the number of class members (58 and some lasted till 1957)... Though it might be better to stick to the TVR O1 and O2 classes given both have preserved examples available. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
