RBR hopefully not RB, so that it can run with the MK2Fs and Dapol MK3s. No BlueGrey version in 00 is on offer.

I think that an RBR is just a refurbished RB and I believe Bachmann are doing that version at a later date.

It's also worth keeping an eye on their second channel, That's TV 2 (Fv65). This week it looks like they are showing films on Irish railways at 5am.

I've tried to record two of them and in both cases my PVR has said that the episodes were not actually broadcast, so I'm wondering if it's a mistake on the EPG or something else.

It's not that big either. I would say the 25 is on the 'through' line to Astley Bridge and the 08 is on the siding leading in front of the goods shed. With a bit of selective compression that would make a nice model.

I used to live not far from there, just the other side of north-south line on the right of the map (long after the Astley Bridge branch had closed, sadly).

Right, it was only after I posted the picture that I found out that it was on the Astley Bridge line. It's also near the sidings for the Back O' Th Bank power station which I'm only aware of because I saw the famous battery loco at the Great Railway Exposition 1980 at Liverpool Road station.

I know that this goods yard probably isn't that small, but it's a nice picture.

Yeah, I was going to start a new thread about those as well.

I watched the LMS episode and it has some nice footage of the Cromford & High Peak line in it's last few years and ironically even the "modern" footage in the episode is now historical as it looks like it was taken in the late 90s.

Who knows; the summer announcement is on Wednesday. Only three months ago nobody knew about the LMS twins and yet some people now have them running on their layouts. If anyone’s listening, a 25/3 or a skinhead 31 would also be welcome 😉

I'm still waiting for them to announce some more blue/grey MK2s so I'm not holding out for any new tooling being announced to be honest.

Possibly more chance of the RB than a P.O.S stowage van (oh you didn't mean that P.O.S 🤣). It might be a POT.

Would hope that any OO item being done right now would have a corresponding N gauge version designed even if not immediately tooled. And more use for an RB, and FO and a BSO than a POT.

Yeah, I suspect that 00 gauge Stowage van hasn't sold too well and that's one reason why they've never bothered to shrink it.

Now that Bachmann have announced an OO scale RB, we should see an N Gauge version as some point in the future. Having said that I wouldn't hold your breath as I'm still waiting for them to downscale their MK1 POS Stowage van.
