The West Highland Line ones were. However there were also Timber P wagons used in Bristol which were of different ancestry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? No French Blue? Obviously no Brighton Corporation Atlantean AN68s with East Lancs bodywork in the offing. Are there any plans to create a motorising kit to allow road vehicles to follow a steel wire a la Faller? That'd be really impressive.

Fredo Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi rapidoandy , A few product suggestions. 1) SR E1/R’s which were rebuilt from 10 E1’s. 2) SCER 01’s which were tender engine locos based on the now preserved 65 at the Bluebell Railway. 3) CR 294’s. Thanks and best wishes Fred 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinM Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 A SECR 01 and 0 would be nice but very similar to the Bachman Class. How about a modern take on the SE&CR R/R1 class 0-6-0T as per the old Wren/ Hornby Dublo one....Lots of options and liveries too.. Martin 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelpara Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Probably far too late but with the Coronation this year would have been an ideal time for considering a Royal Train collection although I suspect there may not be a big market for it but if you don't suggest you don't get! I am not just thinking about the modern MK3 based one but older versions through the years. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Bus Driver Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) How about some mk2a coaches in blue and grey? Especially TSOs. Bachmann seem not to have done any recently and I can imagine how great the quality would be. As to buses I'd definitely go for a Leyland Atlantean AN68 East Lamcs bodywork, especially Brighton spec, or a Bristol VR series 3 as they were my childhood.

I would like to think that Ribble maroon and cream is there too, for the Leyland/Burlingham PD3/4 which I bring into correspondence with Jason Shron from time to time!

Stefen1988 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 How about Mk1 Coaches in N, since this topic is neglected by Bachman/Farish... Those GWR Wagons for 00 which whre announced in December would be also nice for N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, after the pleas to buy the latest round of Fleetlines has produced enough orders to sustain the interest in rail replacement vehicles, a decent 1970s coach such as a Plaxton Elite III or Duple Dominant would be welcomed I'm sure. Both had sizeable production runs, the Plaxton in particular, and with Rapido's ingenuity in design, the different versions (coach and "grant" door, lower destination or dome etc) could be accommodated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward! Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Given the success of the NER Dynamometer car, how about the GWR equivalent? Legitimately run it behind everything from a Saint to 9F, and 'foreign' locomotives during the exchanged too. Just like the LNER carriage I can imagine people buying one to just put on the display cabinet behind their favourite top link GWR engine. And the best thing is it still exists for Rapido to fire measuring lasers at! Edited February 6, 2023 by Forward! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not just thinking about the modern MK3 based one but older versions through the years. I would agree that these would appeal to both model rail enthusiasts and the royal memorabilia crowds. Hornby seem to think the market definitely exists and the resell prices are decent as well. Something 1950's-1960's based would be ideal for most modellers of that era. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
