. Hi there, I think you mentioned a business trip to Scotland. Will there be any further information about this ? Thanks. Pete M.

Dave said : "OO wagons. . . possibility of producing these as . . . 6-pack sets with 6 alternative numbers as weathered sets." Does this mean there will be six different weathering masters made - i.e. will there be six weathering variations? Thanks. Pete M.

Dave said : "Once the N gauge loco's are out attention will then go to tooling the O gauge 23 and J94 models." Excellent news - that the O gauge models are definitely "in the queue." Pete M.

Well, I know this thread is about Class 37s but . . . . . is there anybody else, apart from me, who'd like to see Heljan do the Class 27 in O gauge? I'd have thought that it would sell better than the Class 26. I'd take four of them, with and without tablet catcher recess. Anybody else ? Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. Pete M.

How about a 24½ Ton mineral wagon ? Diagram 1/115 I think.

Hi, I just came across this thread and have thoroughly enjoyed reading through the posts. Yes, all 35 pages. That was yesterday. It's now tomorrow, about 3:30 in the morning. In the understanding that this is a wish-list I'd like to offer a few thoughts. That is, here are some things I wish were available, though I do realise that I'm only dreaming. OO Gauge. There's only one OO model that would tempt me. I'm going to quote Dave's statement from Message #362 where he says :". . . there's a market for anything that is better than a model of the same that's already out there." Well, if any manufacturer were to produce an accurate and guaranteed free-running Class 37/4 then they can put me down for ten of them. O Gauge. Kudos to Dave for his planned O Gauge locos. My own suggestions would be for a GWR 45xx or an SR Adam's Radial - because they are relatively small and have outside cylinders with the appealing visible motion. Other Scales. I love the suggestions for American O Gauge (GP38-2) and more so the pleas for TT Scale, British HO and Swiss NG, but the one that appeals to me most is the "perfect" scale - S Scale 1:64. In the USA there is a crying need for an r-t-r ALCO RS-1 in S Scale but that's just my choice.. In terms of British outline I personally would support just about any proposed model. If I were to win big-style on the National Lottery I would instantly seek a manufacturer to quote me for any of the prototypes I've already mentioned above plus the following : B1 - Baby Deltic - EM1 Class 76. In the meantime I will keep on dreaming. Anyway, let me wish DJM every success. I hope Dave succeeds in his endeavour to produce quality British outline models. Compared to European and American outline it seems to me that current British models are sadly lacking. Yes, I know about the price difference, but that's something I for one would willingly pay - for accurate models that look "right" and are guaranteed to run smoothly and quietly. So, maybe my "wishes" are non-starters for now but - never say never. All the best to DJM. Pete M.
