RMweb Gold NoggintheNog Posted August 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2023 I have no idea what is next, as I wait for Hattons to send out my Manor, but I am surprised there is no modern version of a Royal Scot from anyone yet. 70 engines, original and rebuild possible from a well-designed chassis, running on high profile trains for much of their lives. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a Precursor Tank as a precursor to a Precursor Whale. But that gets me thinking about tank engines, P what P goes with tank engines, of course Percy! So the good captain is after some better 1361 Saddle Tanks or maybe an 813 or 850 class which were of course the precursor to the almighty........P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 A D40 class Gordon Highlander is a beaut with several livery variations and a long history. There is one preserved so data,drawings ,scans etc no problems. Being Scottish will be a draw for many of us too, me included. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outcast Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I'd like a Collett Goods or a 14xx, but I doubt we'll see either of those. Shame, because I think both could use a refresh - especially the latter, where the old ex-Airfix Hornby version is really the only one on the market, the DJM one is pretty rare. A new 14xx, and one which doesn't have running problems, is definitely something that some manufacturer needs to tackle sooner or later. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted August 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2023 You watch how many DJ/Hattons hit the market as soon as a respected manufacturer takes up the 14xx challenge properly, before the prices of second hand 14xx drops like a stone. Options anyone... Kevin 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you could same the same about a certain P that could go through a shrink ray too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinM Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 How about a Southern U/U1/N/N1 class 2-6-0 with the possible option of a 2-6-4 River to? . Plenty of different variants and different liveries. The Bachmann N is very old tooling now. If it was designed correctly it could to all variants? 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad started on the Railways in 1958, and I remember him telling me that before it shut, Burton on Trent shed had multiples of these as general use power from 61/62 onwards, so they could be justified on layouts of almost any size.

MattR Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 With Bachmann recently announcing the Bahamas Mk.2A support coach, wasn't it suggested that Bachmann may be preparing a new Jubilee, ostensibly Bahamas in preserved condition? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Probably with recent-format stratospheric pricing as well ... sorry, shouldn't mention prices! A/S have good habit of a fresh face, fresh ideas and observations, excellent models and fair market pricing ... I recently modified a Bachmann 'Hong Kong' into a Bahamas, fitting an aftermarket chimney modified to try and resemble the double rings at the top, and glossed as Bahamas is quite probably the most impeccably turned out locomotive on the rails in half of the photos.
