They say Envy is a sin---well I am a sinner. What models. With Simon Kholer of Hornby taslking about smart modelling could the T9 chassis be uses as the basis of a Caley 4-4-0. I am hopeless at construction not helpednow by arthritis and alwsays wondered about the Hornby M7 being converted into a Caley 0-4-4T. Indeed decades ago I wrote to W S Stevens Stratton of Model Railway Constructor asking if I could convert the new Triang M7 to a Caley Tank for a then projected C&O layout. He indicated it was possible with some compromises. Is this another possibility for smart modelling from Hornby?
I had always hoped that Harburn would commision one a la Kernow and indceed suggested this to them, sadly without a reply.
