Where can I get a 00 gauge 323 kit or RTR model

Cant find where to get a class 323 for my new layout,

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks,

As a Leeds-based company, I think Charlie Petty at DC Kits was thinking of doing a kit. But I don't know if it ever happened.

Checked Charlie's site and, as I suspected, it didn't happen. Can't blame Charlie for being a bit disillusioned about creating new kits. Most of what he has done has since been brought out in r-t-r by Bachmann.

 

But a 323 would seem like a good choice for a manufacturer now that OHLE is becoming more popular on models.

 

Another obvious candidate is Hastings units. Short, so good for layouts. And for a while, the preserved set got to all parts of the country (England).

 

And why no Transpennine? Limited range of operation but very popular with enthusiasts.

 

Sorry - this has become another wishlist!

Thanks for looking, it's for the station on my northern based DRS depot that I am building, I travel on the units a fair bit and have admired them, I suppose I'll have to get letter writing as my scratch build skills or rubbish!
