RMweb Premium Nova Scotian Posted May 12 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12 Have mentioned this on the Stuart Kerr thread, and also to Rapido. First manufacturer to make a Hudswell Clarke long tank Manchester Ship Canal tank gets my money! https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/hudswell-clarke-works-no-1464-msc-no-70-0-6-0t/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is "Colin McAndrew" the prototype loco is tiny, IMHO smaller than the Hattons Barclay. Might be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin McAndrew is cerainly small, as can be seen in relation to the size of the driver in one of these shots! Would certainly be a nice loco to have a model of............. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Nova Scotian Posted May 15 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15 If we're going to ask PI for a diesel, it has to be the Ruston Hornsby 165 Half the hard work has already been done in the thread below :) Had some BR use, some industrials, some flame-proof variants with RAF. Some entered preservation. Lots of lovely detail changes. Narrow planet did a kit but it seems always to be sold out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schooner Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Powlesland and Mason, Brush-built 0-4-0 in her post-1926 Swindon pannier configuration. One of pair, built 1903 (795) and 1906 (921) as saddletanks. Both taken on by the GWR in 1924, after which they both underwent significant work. Both sold to industry by 1930... ...and worked for another c.30 years (IIUC). 795 then went for scrap, but 921 has been preserved: Now on static display at Mountsorrel and Rothley Heritage Centre, Leicestershire. With a dash of modeller's licence, PI could perhaps reasonably reproduce these fascinating locos, part absolutely typical part absolutely unique. Would metal chassis, running plate, and boiler give enough weight for tanks and cabs to be serparate plastic parts? The former could then be universal, with only the latter changing to give an excellently useful industrial/dock locos accurate for anywhere in a 60-70 year working life. Not a request, just a conversation starter :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
