RMweb Gold JohnR Posted November 15, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2013 I think a really good GW 14xx is needed - along with a modern standard auto coach. If the tooling were done well, it could also have the other variations including 48xx etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tooling were done well, it could also have the other variations including 48xx etc Problem is that it would be up against what looks as if it could be a good 64XX (and autocoach) which is coming from Bachmann. I know the geographical distribution of the two types leaves room for both - but does the model railway purchasing market? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 How's about a proper looking, well thought out, correctly dimensioned LMS 6 wheel Stove in 4mm.... Oh, and don't bother with the crazy 'steering axles'. If not that then how about some LMS non corridor coaches of the most common types, i.e. non lav. Comp, all 3rd and brake 3rd. I'm sure you can beat hands down what is currently available. Dave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the geographical distribution of the two types leaves room for both - but does the model railway purchasing market? The Lionheart 64xx and autocoach are very good, though I'm sure DJM could come in at a slightly lower price. I imagine that quite a few of those interested in one would also be interested in the other. Oh! Sigh. It seems that you might have been talking of 4mm. Perhaps we all need to state which scale we are talking about and not assume ours is the only one that matters. (7mm) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(7mm) I was talking of 4mm as that was where the previous posts appeared to be targetted - but you are right, with DJModels aiming at a multiplicity of scales it might not be a bad idea for us to say what we mean (e.g. 15XX 4mm scale Mr Jones). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ohh, an official wishlist thread? Well how could I not? DMUs Class 117 Class 123 (I'd have said "Class 40" if Bachmann weren't already planing to shrink-ray theirs) Rolling stock Highfit/Highbar in N (which Bachmann don't seem to want to shrink-ray) SALMON or Borail Some decent plate (E.g. SPV) wagons Warwell and Warflat 00 SPA's and variants are already in hand by another maker - FTG I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I would really like to see a new 00 model, even in kit form, of the Sheerness Steel JXA (and POA) 102t bogie scrap wagons, as built by PROCOR in the early 1980's, and as previously modelled in resin by Appleby Engineering, but no longer available. They were, and still are under new owners, used across the network, so would have wide appeal. There is a very complex scratchbuilding thread elsewhere for these, but the Schlieren bogies and complex body trims are so difficult to reproduce by hand although Colin Craig has the former on his list. I asked Charlie at DC Kits if he would do them, but he said they would be too difficult to make due to the length, but as Appleby managed a fairly decent resin mould, and there are RTR models of the modern high and low sided Network Rail bogie ballast wagons which are just as long, this did not make sense to me. Anyway, here's hoping.... Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike What might be difficult for the likes of Charlie (DC) or Parkside as small artisan producers is not necessarily difficult for the major manufacturers with much more sophisticated kit.

Shedmaster Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Good Evening all, I think we need to inject something 'special' into our hobby in the same way the 'Intercity 125' did for Inter-City rail travel back in the day, a real attention grabber, so, could we please have something modern and sleek looking produced, such as a............................ Class 442 'Wessex Electric' EMU or Class 375/376/377/378/379 'Electrostar' family of EMU's.......... Please Dave ? Many Thanks, Shed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43179 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Great to see lots of interest in the class 442 - and why not , lovely looking unit, very colourful liveries too, and DCC sound would be fun as the Wessex makes a proper 'English Electric' noise aswell.. Hope Mr Jones is taking note Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Mr Jones is taking note Jon I'd have to say this is a very reasonable idea, as opposed to my niche market fantasy idea for a fully working DCC 'Kirow' crane ! Would the 'Chiltern' plug door Mk3's be do-able from a 'Wessie' maybe ? Regards, Shed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43179 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 unfortunately the basic mk3 body profile is the same as a Wessex , but that's about it ...lots of differences. The new Chiltern stock , particularly in the latest Chiltern livery does look lovely though - it even makes the humble Turbostar look very classy!

43179 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) The Wessex unit is a big favourite of mine , although for RTR, in terms of a modern(ish) EMU, the 'no brainer' to me has always been the class 319 purely for sphere of operation. They're not as pretty as a 'Pig' though!. There is something about these sole-less modern units that translates very well in model form. I for example wouldn't look twice at a Desiro in real life , but the Bachmann model always gets my attention.

RMweb Premium Legend Posted November 15, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 15, 2013 Caley Blue 812 0-6-0 please. Thought this was Bachmann territory but they seem to be studiously avoiding it. Failing that anything Scottish of 4-4-0 or 0-6-0 variety. And our close neighbours in the NER are also very neglected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjnewitt Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) No more locomotives, there are enough of them around already. 1st geration long wheelbase DMUs 1950s/60s era wagons that have not previously appeared in model form either as a kit or RTR please! In 4mm for me but I'm sure this equally apples to other scales. Justin Edited for clarity Edited November 16, 2013 by jjnewitt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
