Giannis Halkis Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Surely the class 58 is the diesel most in need of bringing up to date? The Hornby one is positively ancient and the Heljan one? I had a couple and they were quite poor, they wouldn’t pull for toffee and the detailing is crude at best. Barely equal to the final Lima models in my opinion.

TP were Mk1 based, AM10 mk2 based with no separate chassis/underframe. Sorry to disappoint you all the Swindon DMUs had more in common with Mk2 stock than Mk1. They had a a GWR style profile and the windows were shallower than a Mk1s. They too had no chassis but were integral construction. Something from the various types of Swindon DMUs would be nice. Or a Gloucester 2 car, a Park Royal or even a Wickhams.........as for a locomotive what about a LMS jackshaft drive Jocko?

wombatofludham Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Ooh, a Park Royal DMU, yes please. Really nice looking units which, like me, started in Walsall and ended up on the Cambrian Coast. My first trip on the Cambrian back in the 1970s was on a 103. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've built a few 'small' 0-4-0 diesels from kits, and they are surprisingly easy to motorise compared to much large steam locos. There's a lot of room in the bonnet for a motor.

creweboy Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Let's hope it's not more duplication most type already done are available to a high standard, making MUs is better choice but the cost of 3 or 4 car units has become so excessive that it has issues as well?

We have become used to several new models from each manufacturer every year. If the numbers of new models was reduced, perhaps the cost of 3 or 4 car units won't be such an issue as they will not have to compete for funds with other new models... 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
