RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2014 Nielsen Pug - see posts 275/276. Bellerophon - see post 267. Getting some momentum now!!! Not as many mentions as the Ivatt tank...oh hang on, those are all suggestions by me... I can tell Chris is seriously considering it though;-p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
81A Oldoak Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 The next pure Ixion loco is the New South Wales Government Railways 32 Class 4-6-0 in HO, which has been announced and is at the advanced 3D CAD stage. Ixion is working with a new enterprise that is producing a RTR 0 gauge loco. The first iteration of 3D CAD drawings is due to be delivered in the next few days. An announcement about the loco and the new enterprise will be made at the GOG event at Kettering on 7 March 2015. Returning to the general thread, the 03 and 04 diesels have also been across the desk. The main question is how many Bachmann and DJH versions have been sold. I have a Bachmann 03 so what happens to that and all the others in cirrculation? The 2021 GWR pannier is an interesting suggestion with open and enclosed cabs and a very long life. Hmmm. We can, of course, supply any almost any locomotive for £100,000 to £120,000 each and will even throw in 999 free locos to go with it. CK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2014 has the beattie well tank been mentioned yet Yesss. But, I suspect the whole Dapol/Kernow failure has put an end to any further thoughts of that nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2014 PS, please don't let the new Ixion model be a GWR 1366 Dock Tank. It would mean all my new grey hair and burnt fingers were for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CK Are you trying to tempt me Chris :nono: I did wonder about the Jinty but as a GW man I am not too sure about how widespread they were. But the 2021 is interestin... oh! bu99er I already have an Underhill one with a saddletank and a scorpio kit for a a 16xxST. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
switcher 1 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Returning to the general thread, the 03 and 04 diesels have also been across the desk. The main question is how many Bachmann and DJH versions have been sold. I have a Bachmann 03 so what happens to that and all the others in circulation? Their owners will be happy to keep them, as they wouldn't have bought/constructed them if they didn't want them. however, for those that couldn't afford brass R.T.R. or are unable to build kits, a lovely Ixion model would be the ideal solution. Also, a 'modern' diesel shunter might just be what draws in those modellers that were brought up in the diesel era of British Rail to finally turn to 0 gauge.

south_tyne Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've always been partial to a Ruston 48ds... widespread, successful, canny little shunters with the advantage that they are so small you could sneak one back in the house with raising the suspicions of the 'significant other'!

hartleymartin Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 If they are made to the right price, most modellers would probably buy two or three! If the Manning Wardle H class was about the same price as the Hudswell Clarke, most people would have bought two of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

0_gauge_novice Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Since everybody is asking what they want, I thought I can also do that. I would like and S-160 RTR in case Steve Fay will ran into difficulties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USATC_S160_Class International prototype, ran in so many countries on almost all continents..........

JLTRT - Very expensive, needs building & painting. Agenora(?) - possible innaccuracies, brass, needs building & painting MMP - needs building & painting, probably best model & value for money but frightening amount of detail might put some off? All the above just my opinion, but all reasons why I don't have a Class 08.. yet... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - if ixion were to announce an 08 then I would cancel my advance order for a Dapol one immediately, I have little faith in Dapol and am sure Ixion would do a better/quicker job of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Another tactic Ixion could make is to wait for the Dapol Terrier, which is tipped to be the original A1 type and release the A1X... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'M SURE AS NICE AS SOME OF OUR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE TO HAVE, THAT IXION WONT WANT TO MIX IT WITH OTHER PRODUCERS IN WHAT AFTER ALL IS A hobby MARKET. They are also in collaboration with one of them on other matters and that would make it awkward if they were to go into direct competition with them. But..................... I too would take an Ixion 08 anytime based on their previous models' quality. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CME and Bottlewasher Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks for that reply Chris, you insight is interesting. Given the current 08 situation would a class 03 be a viable option? DJH already do a nice kit or RTR, the kit is reasonably priced. One of the STD Gauge Rustons would be nice though.

F-UnitMad Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 DJH already do a nice kit or RTR, the kit is reasonably priced. Key word being "kit", of course.... as much of an anathema to 'old school' O-scalers as it may be, & for various reasons - not always to do with lack of skill to build a kit - some of us really rather prefer, & want, R-T-R.

I know what you are saying, my thinking was that Ixion would be better served by producing a RTR model that didnt duplicate existing models (either RTR or Kit). The DJH RTR 03 is pricey but very nice indeed, gaining many words of praise from MRJ a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DJH RTR 03 is pricey but very nice indeed, gaining many words of praise from MRJ a few years back. There is a myriad of locos that have not been produced in either RTR or kit format for 0 Gauge. The challenge is to identify the very, very small number that have the potential to generate sufficient sales (1,000-1,500) to make mass production commercially viable.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2014 Perhaps a smallish tank engine that, post nationalisation, could be seen on branch lines around the country would fit the bill. Maybe something of the 2-6-2 variety... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
