RMweb Premium Legend Posted October 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2022 Just received YouTube notification of a “brand new OO gauge” locomotive announcement tomorrow from Hornby Magazine . The announcement has the logos of Heljan, locomotion Models and Rails of Sheffield . Should we infer from this the loco is in the national collection ? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted October 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Imo, Theres not much NRM stuff left to do that may be worth while. J69 has to be a good potential, but Heljan hasnt done many steam locos. 26500 might be an interesting contender for non-steam it has a certain thing about it. 41001 prototype HST might be an odd ball other than that its more outsiders like a class 84, Aerolite or a Tilbury tank and a few ever uninteresting LNER black goods locos… the heavy hitting stuff is all done. mind boggles… Edited October 27, 2022 by adb968008 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted October 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2022 Personally, I'm hoping for a re-tooled 26020 - ie some EM1s. Kev. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamingWales Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Steam: maybe GNR J13/LNER J52? but like already said, Heljan haven't done much steam The prototype HST would be interesting, but would people just buy a power car? No idea for electrics. The NER battery locos would be interesting Perhaps after the TT snub Heljan have been working on a broad gauge Iron Duke and are launching their new gauge tomorrow? 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tractionman Posted October 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) yep NER Class ES1? -- something NER (LNER) flavoured, considering Rails' previous form in this area (ie the NER petrol-electric railcar thing), and Heljan's previous form on electric bo-bo locos (eg the Met locos)? and of course something quirky in the NRM collection-- https://www.lner.info/locos/Electric/es1.php Edited October 27, 2022 by tractionman 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieGuyRob Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 NBL class 84? That's owned by the NRM, although it is in custodianship of the ACLG at Barrow Hill. They have just done the 86, Bachmann have done the 85. So hopefully they are working through the AL's backwards. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 No idea where the idea that Heljan don't do steam comes from? Heljan must be well into double figures on the steam front. 1361, 1366, 47XX, Beyer-Garratt, GNR/LNER O2/1, O2/2. O2/3, O2/4 L&B Manning Wardle, L&B Baldwin Then all the O gauge stuff and not counting the Danish models. Unfortunately the NRM don't have an 8F. NER Q7 would be a good shout I have a nasty feeling it's the E4. If so I'll stick with the Nucast version seeing as some of us badgered them about reissuing it.

Delta_Who Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Right, might aswell throw my chips in. Possibly : Class 71 & 84 Plausible but unlikely : Class 77 Unlikely : Class 40 & Class 50 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly : Class 71 I think a new OO class 71 will be as popular as a new range of TT tbh i’d like to think a class 84, as if that works an 82 and 83 surely will. But I think 26500 is more up Heljans street… (plus its got the added rub that ive got a kit of one done already and thats what usually happens !)… Edited October 27, 2022 by adb968008 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I would say that there are sharks in the water for that 50, I just wouldn't really expect it to come from Heljan... but they did do an O gauge version so who knows. The class 40 from Bachmann, I have no idea how old it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means Locomotion can do the preserved example, plenty of others for Rails, named engines always popular. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
