rapidoandy Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Or an L&Y engine, or the ship canal tank, or the Old Gents Saloon, maybe a dreadnought, or an N2, or a 57xx, or the Manning Wardle that appeared in the TV version, but what about the new film? So many possibilities.... Or maybe its just none of them and is just three kids waving at a train? Happy Friday. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 60027Merlin Posted October 29, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2023 Another suggestion for new locomotive models. North British Scott (D30) and Glen (D34) Both ran in Pre-Grouping, Grouping and B.R. days plus the Glen is preserved. They therefore cover a wide time scale plus were also spread over a large geographic area. Main difference is in the driving wheel size (Scott, 6 foot 6 inches and Glen, 6 foot). Other differences are internal and not seen therefore two models for the cost of one and a small fraction. They are well requested to manufacturers and with attractive names are sure to be commercially viable with the advantage of repeat sales with such a variety of names available. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MSC tanks would a) fit with Andy's link to Middleton b) fit with the Railway Children hint (if it is such...) c) offer two different body styles and multiple liveries for one chassis d) add a Hudswell Clarke to the Hunslet and Manning Wardle e) force me to decide between an MSC tank and a MW L-Class, or hope my wife isn't looking at the Credit Card bill. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested something from Railway Children a few months (years) ago, based on your relationship with Studio Canal and the fact that many of those have not been done. Was it you, or someone else, who had an affection for the MSC engine? Learned to fire on it or something? Rooting for the L&Y Class 25 or the MSC industrial tank. Bloody excited. Take my money now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there were several 'improved' versions over the years the basics such as the frame and wheels were common to most versions with only the cab and side tanks changed. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexl102 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Given the recent hint on Rapido's SM accounts about an engine to shunt the SECR stock I think we've been had - maybe the Railway Children reference is actually not anything to do with the 1970 Railway Children and everything to do with the 2000 version, filmed on the Bluebell Railway? In which case the SECR C-Class would be a very strong candidate being the only SECR loco involved in that film. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, desperate for an L&YR Class 25 and the MSC tank. Second, Bachmann did a great job of the SECR C-Class, I don't see the need to duplicate? Hopefully (for me) they have a few projects in the hopper and this is not connected to the apparent railway children teaser. Wonder if it's an O1 (also at Bluebell)? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of livery variation; LSWR, SR, BR(S) and BR, so plenty of opportunity to make some wedge from anyone modelling the 20th Century. There's also the pull-push rebuilds and of course departmental (I've seen more images of these than any other), some even made it on to the S&D.

Wickham Green too Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) But an awful lot of physical variants for a relatively small number of vehicles : three types of bogie and two chassis types ( including departmental rebuilds ) before considering passenger accommodation with / without pantries !

SRyan Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) If my decoding is correct (and it has been fun to try and decode even if I’m wrong) today may be the day we see the materialisation of the Hawksworth County the Rapido crew have previously hinted at! They did post a link to Soul Limbo on their Facebook page earlier this week, so that I’m guessing that brings us to Test Match Special, to Cricket, to County Cricket to, Counties! The O1 seems a fairly safe bet given the previous newsletter hints and aforementioned facebook post too. Looking forward to 12 noon and the announcement either way!

Nova Scotian Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Ooooof, this will be a hard one. No L&YR Class 25 or MSC tank as hoped, so should have been an easy day on the credit card. But I love the J52s - have a treasured Hornby example in GNR green (pure rule 1). These look fantastic. May have to sleep on it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
