Three out of the four we've had so far use the same body and the third was essentially a rebrand from Dapol to Hornby, so if one does materialise from Rapido, it'll only really be a third. 😉 John Edited October 29, 2022 by Dunsignalling 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted November 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2022 Just now, Covkid said: Are we talking RTR here because there have probably been kits - certainly K's ? Yes, RTR starting with Airfix. The K's kit is going back a bit even for me, and I'm 70! I bought a built up one donkeys years ago but could never get it to run even half decently. There might have been etched kits, too but I'm not aware of any specific examples. Perseverance once did a chassis kit, originally to turn the K's one into something usable IIRC, and I think Comet do one currently. Most 4mm 14xx one sees these days are based around Airfix/Dapol/Hornby bodies sometimes with etched underpinnings or K's, usually with etched underpinnings! I currently have a modified and detailed Dapol example, and one of the Hatton's/DJM jobs. Mine runs fine, but I gather others have had issues with them.

Brian-1c Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 May I please suggest an N gauge ex LMS 68' restaurant car ? I did listen to all the reasons why a range of British coaches were not yet under consideration. However, this example may be compared to other individual coaches out of the mainstream models and can stand alone as a desirable extra to add. In the same vein as the newly announced dynamometer car. Or the individual cars in the Titfield Thunderbolt series in OO, unfortunately not (yet) in N. The ex LMS 68' 12 wheeled restaurant car was seen in LMS Maroon, BR carmine and cream, BR Maroon at least and I wouldn't be surprised if it appeared in blue and grey either, although I have never seen evidence of that. Perhaps it could be an extra ( maybe if ) colour, like the RTC versions of other stock elsewhere. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to see one in engineers' colours at some point in their lives. Another suggestion for a model in N gauge is the ex LMS 57' non-corridor driving brake (autocoach). Seen over large parts of the countryside on short suburban duties, main and branch, up until the 1950s and, of course ended up in BR Maroon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingscotsmanfan Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 As you are doing the class 28 in N gauge perhaps you could do it in OO too as it’s near enough impossible to find a helijan example these days and it doesn’t look like they’ll be doing a re run anytime soon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium E100 Posted December 6, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2022 I would love to see the mid 60's to 1980's timber wagons done for the WHL modelers. I suspect this won't due to the niche area and timespan but they wood be interesting and I would get a full rake! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted December 6, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2022 We’re the Timber P wagons used during that period not converted from the Conflat P that Rapido are doing in N? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I honestly don't know. I've seen sources differ on this (I've not yet researched in depth) - one stating that they were converted from an LNER based wagon and another based on Conflat P's http://igg.org.uk/rail/9-loads/9-timber.htm. So yes in theory it should be relatively easy to add stanchions to them but would much prefer RTR. Just need the wagons in 4mm. https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/60/749/ - best picture I have seen yet.
