rembrow Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 2 hours ago, The Stationmaster said: Class 12 is more than Class 11 Interesting thought. I wasn't sure how this would fit with KMRC producing models that worked in their area, but according to the Southern e-mail group, while initially working in London at Norwood and Hither Green, some were later allocated to Ashford and Eastleigh works and in the 60s, some were working at Bournemouth, which would make a link. Of course it could be just a version of an existing model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halvarras Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 1 hour ago, The Stationmaster said: Class 12 is more than Class 11 I thought of that, but it's already coming as part of the Model Rail Classes 11/12 project. AFAIK no EPs of either class has been seen yet, so I'm still pondering a Class with 12 members.......of course this thinking could be too conventional - "a class with more than 11....." of what? Handrail knobs? Spokes in the driving wheels? Lumps of coal in the bunker? Blades on the roof fan? Warship Class 42 with disc headcodes?! "Haha.......don't be silly H, besides they were a sub-set of a Class which is not currently available as an RTR model." Yeah, but if the old tooling is going spare now it could be modified to........ "Stop right there, people will think you've lost the plot!" (Since I'm talking to myself in public they're probably right 😜) "Go and sit quietly in a dark corner until you feel better." Yeah OK 😴 It's all KMRC's fault.....teasers 🤬!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 Hopefully not long to wait, as the 'coming sooner' statement indicates it will be their before the Heljan class 45 exclusive, which was stated as 14 days approx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in August there was 2 decorated samples of the Class 11 so it looks like they past the EP stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted October 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2022 A 118 DMU, as a tooling variant of the Bachmann 117? It's a west country prototype and KMRC did originally say that they would be doing 116, 117 and 118 DMUs as exclusives before Bachmann (forgive me, I forget exactly what happened in the early history of the project), announced their 117. It is also in the Bachmann style announce on delivery, and 118 has, arguably, an 11 in it, but is also more than 11. Plain BR Blue, please, I'll take two sets. Well, I can hope. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are thirteen original Warships, D800 to D812, so you could argue it is a Class with more than 11... 🙂 Route indicator headcode frames and different body side grills. Names like Formidable, Avenger, Champion... Maybe Bachmann is about to release Class 42s? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
