Hi there,

I think you mentioned a business trip to Scotland.

Will there be any further information about this ?

Thanks.

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.

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."

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.

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.
