You could lose your shirt with those odds Grahame.... Although reading between the lines, it doesn't actually say locos. Could be rolling stock pulled by steam or diesel loco's in the transition period. IN THE WORKS We will be announcing two new models at our exhibition in September. Steam and Diesel modellers will welcome them, but no more hints for now. We may drop the odd hint in our newsletter from time to time between now and September. No prizes if you spot the hint, just bragging rights on offer! The electric model has been held back and will be announced at a future date Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieb Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Just picked up on this thread after spending a week in South Wales.Came home with the usual ideas of building a model of the valleys,but one important loco type is missing to do this. The GWR 42xx 2-8-0T. However this has made its way near the top of the wishlists recently and some were allocated to St Blazey for china clay trains, so maybe this is in Kernows mind?If not, then how about it?

RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted August 15, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2010 Well I hope the shunting horse will be DCC ready I'm a little concerned as to where the decoder plug might be.... Isn't it time we had an RTR Leader? Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulliver Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Well I hope the shunting horse will be DCC ready and able to be re-legged to finescale standards! I just hope they get the shape of the nostrils right! The shoes had better be in line with the hooves as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

orcadian Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Dagworth pondered about an R-T-R Leader, but if it had a sound chip, the expletives from crews, fitters and shed foremen would mean it could only be sold to over-16's! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.A.C Martin Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 RTR Leader? We've been here before The shop in question expected to supply said model in four liveries (two fictitious), and had hired Dapol to produce said model, with pre-orders being taken for the model. As of 2010 - nearly two years later - no news and a website in which the Leader threads are left strangely unanswered... --- On topic - I predict a Blue Pullman, Original style Merchant Navy (for kicks!) and an ex-LNER K4 (just seen someone finish one on another forum! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thanks for link 2ManySpams. It seems strange to me (speaking as a steam fan) they are doing a short run of 'Westerns' when this model is already available. No one seems to think of duplicating steam locos on the same scale that diesels are duped. I wish they would though.....A decent 4F wouldn't go amiss.

Blue Max Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Voice lurid complaints about the market being saturated and nobody able to afford all this stuff so why ever did they make it instead of doing a Stephenson long-boiler 0-6-0? I predict a big demand for locos suitable for modelling the Rosedale line once all the diesels are done and gathering dust on various retailers' shelves and everybody has a layout of a cornish china clay branch. Stationmaster Locos for the Rosedale Branch would be fantastic, especially as Bill Bedford is bringing out a model of the S1 Ironstone Hopper used on this line = NE equivalent of the China Clay trains. Suitable loco from Kernow definitely wont happen though with their attention on SW stock and good luck to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Well now after realising the Kernow connection, and having posted something similar elsewhere, for the steam lot (despite my well known North Eastern preference) Id hope it would be a Western Region King class locomotive. I know its a big machine to model by such a shop, but with the GWR 175 it would be a great addition to the western region lot, who, like other regions lately, seem to have a wealth of engines coming their way. Ive just gone and bought a Western region castle class owing to the bigger King not being available, as I have a soft spot for the Western region and so, if there was one available, Id love to see it done to modern high modelling standards.

Dan Griffin Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 could they be doing the port of par 0-4-0 saddle tanks, ie bill and ben from thomas the tank. as Bachmann has the tooling from the thomas characters forthcoming in its american range?? they are linked to china clay traffic also. makes sense!

Ed-farms Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I doubt it will be a King as they would sell as a standard model to not need to be commisioned. Most likely a rarity so Alfred and Judy (the Port of Par pair) fit in nicely - I'd certainly buy them - go with my kit built 13XX and forthcoming Well Tank.

I think Hornby hold the exclusive 'Thomas' rights in the UK, which is why the Baccy ones can't be imported and sold within the UK. However, Hornby do have an 0-4-0 dock saddle tank in their history, don't they? What about a Z-class to get things up the hill between the Exeters?
