SRfanJV Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 A new N gauge 45xx with upgraded chassis. And to really push the boat out, an N gauge LSWR 02 and an N gauge Beattie Well tank Only small challenges there. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold AndrueC Posted November 26, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2022 On the plus side I had a chat to one of the guys staffing the stand at Warley and he said that the Super Voyager is waiting for a production slot. I didn't ask for a shipping date and he wisely didn't offer one but sometime next year is my guess. He's also trying to push for an Avanti livery but we have the swirl for Virgin/EMR which will match my HST. Sadly no-one could tell me how to remove the body from my GWR pannier but Steve advised me of the likely cause of her woes which is something.

Dapol and Bachmann have more experience of making quality models in small scales than Hornby. They' ve already have done the research for the sort of models which would sell well. 00 in a sense is stagnating. Hornby and Peco are committed to providing a good track range. If narrow gauge can succeed so can TT. Quite simple. Everybody else is quite happy to see Hornby bet the farm on TT:120 and, maybe four years down the road, assuming Hornby's gamble has paid off, will be able to join the party with little risk to themselves. If it hasn't, they'll all have one less competitor (or a severely weakened one) to deal with in OO. A cynical way to look at it? Definitely. A prudent strategy to adopt? Even more definitely. These are businesses we are talking about, not a scale/gauge enthusiast society. John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 26, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2022 Still think the improvement of the LMS Coach range would be smart. P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I’d be quite happy if Dapol got the tablet catcher fitted Class 21s out. Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if an exploded drawing of the class 21/29 was made available so it would be easier to service.

Madreddog Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Seeing as they're making a number of 00 4-4-0's how about a LMS 2P? This means, as we wait for their next announcement, we can say '2P or not 2P?' I'll see myself out.... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 2, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2023 Diagram N auto trailer in 00. I know I’ve asked for this before, but a panelled trailer consistently comes in high in the Wishlist Poll, and must be considered low-hanging fruit by current standards. An A10 would suit me just as well, but all Dap would have to do for the N would be to put the Lionheart model through a shrink ray… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Smith Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Just my two-penn'orth For O Gauge (as that's my scale), and I already have the Dapol 08, Class 122, and lots of wagons - Another vote for the Class 22 in 7mm, as it would suit my location and period (although I hated them at the time, and I think everybody else hated them as well - funny how distance lends enchantment to the view). And for a small branch line steam locomotive, why not the Ivatt Class 2, 2-6-2 tank? These were a jolly handy little engine which would make a refreshing change from the wonderful but boring GWR 45xx tank. And in the early 1960s they turned up all over the place - I had trips behind them from Wadebridge to Bodmin (North), on the Callington branch from Bere Alston, from Halwill Junction to Torrington, and on the old S&D from Highbridge to Evercreech Junction. They were well liked by their crews and were free-steaming modern little engines with a comfortable cab and a smooth ride. Which you would appreciate if you had ever spent much time on a pannier tank. John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 2, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2023 A Beyer Peacock / LSWR / Col. Stephens "Ilfracombe Goods" in 7mm or 4mm scales (or even both) would do very nicely for me. John 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pteremy Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Driving Trailers for the Class 121/122 would be a good gap filler (whilst a revised chassis for the 121/122 would be welcome and surely straightforward - just needs a single robust driveshaft). The final few mogul 93xx/73xx would be another good gap filler. Someone is going to do the Class 120 in 00 eventually and it would fit well with Dapol's other products. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted January 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Another run of Blue /Grey class 122 would be good in oo. This basic livery has only been done once and had the “tear drop” of yellow paint on the end. class 88 and class 73/9. Dapols been good with smaller tanks… Hudswell Clarke Canal Tank from the MSC would be good. As would an LMS kitson 0-4-0ST… and to think BR Built some of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Kitson_0-4-0ST managed a range between Swansea, Derby, Birkenhead and Preston.

TBH, a lot more sensible than wasting a load of drawing office time and talent designing a handful of new locos to do a job the older ones performed perfectly adequately. Similar wise counsel prevailed "up north" with the BR-built batch of J72s. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if they copied it, they definitely made the 2nd batch “version 2”… they have more than “a few” modifications.

The Class 122 / 121 is a nice model but they need to solve the driveshaft problem, because even the replacements that are available also fail🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernBlue80s Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Rebodied 21t mineral hopper. There are only Parkside kits available at the moment. Transfersea ferry wagons. The ones often used to import onions. Cheers Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977joey Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I meant to add, as well as the N Gauge Class 156 in Provincial Sprinter/Super Sprinter livery (Pretty please 🙏) an N Gauge Mark 3 DVT would be great in Intercity livery too...
