alexl102 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm hoping Rapido don't go in hard on GWR stuff... already got the 15xx, all 3 types of small prairie, auto coach, TOAD etc. The rest of their range is beautifully varied. Did I hear a rumour of some more projects being announced at Warley? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted October 5, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm really looking forward to their Jones Goods . And if that is successful there are lots of other iconic Scottish locos , a Glen , for instance. But I would also like to see a 303 or Glasgow Blue Train . yes its a three car unit but really the driving trailers are the same so its just two coaches really . Also iconic , lots of liveries . In days when a class of 2 electric locos in the North East can be made - surely there's a chance 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a pretty class, and unusual as a mixed trafic 4-4-0, 'fits' alongside the very neat J36 from Hornby. One of the many neglected aspects of the UK railway network, and here's some more. GNR/LNER/BR J6 0-6-0. Despite a positive army of Doncaster wide firebox power there's never been a GNR freight tender design smaller than 6MT! This neat little 0-6-0 would be very welcome. NER/LNER/BR B16 4-6-0. Seen all over the LNER and ER main line network up to the end of steam, and plenty more where that came from. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westie7 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hopefully if they're on schedule I'm looking forward to 1. Getting my hands on OAA wagons but also 2. Seeing if this chassis might, might just lead to an AB flat, FPA or FBB🤪 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2023 Would a class 502 EMU interest anyone? Introduced in the late thirties in full LMS coach deep red livery. Then with nationalisation both MU green and malachite with various types of yellow panels (or none at all). Then rail blue followed by blue/grey in their final years. They were two car units with only a driving motor car and driving trailer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Stylish three-car units - like their 'class 503' sisters - but very limited geographically ....... the PEP-derived 507/508 family could be produced to suit much more of BR. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Sulzer Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Not seen in model form since this version by 'Mainline Railways' in 1979.

Ah, got it, it's the livery you want.... Actually, I still have a couple of Mainline ones in the mix, and from 30-or so inches away, The differences between the grey version and my new Rapido one are surprisingly unobtrusive at that distance, including the moulded handrails on the 1970s model!

John In this day & age ,manufactures have a suit of tooling to suit the variants . In this case possibly the chassis . We dont want to detract away from my request.

It's bound to happen, and Rapido will undoubtedly have further versions of their Toad "in the programme", but I think they are currently still at the stage of broadening their range rather than deepening it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 20, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2023 I think nowadays if a model is in production almost any livery variation will become available in time as the company (not only Rapido) will want to get the most out of the tooling costs.

Rich Uncle Skeleton Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) If I had to choose it would be a pre grouping 0-6-0 goods engine, like the DX goods and 17in coal engines of the LNWR, and the Iffracombe goods of the Stephenson empire (which would go with the manning wardles). There’s been releases for the Caledonian and Highland railways, how about the NBR 224 and 420? And the H class, which is a nice looking machine and would give us another Atlantic in 00.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted October 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Following on from the previous post, another vote for the Beyer-Peacock Ilfracombe Goods beloved of the Colonel and used on several of his light railways. IIRC, the LSWR wasn't the only railway that bought them new, though tenders may well have differed. Continuing the theme, and having seen a kit-built set (albeit in 7mm scale) at Taunton Railex earlier today, a pair of those quirky railcars made out of Model T Fords, would make a brilliant partner to it.

alexl102 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I am hoping in a couple of years (my wallet can't handle any sooner) Rapido complete the 'Leeds' set with a Hudswell Clarke (either a Wissington-style saddle tank, a PLA-type side tank or even a nice little 0-4-0) and a Kitson S&L 0-6-0ST as per Conway/Caernavon/Colwyn et al Fingers crossed! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
