But will it be the petrol-based version or the gas conversion, perhaps the tooling will provide for both varieties? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium RichardT Posted June 6 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 6 My assumption is that Rapido UK will have a sense of taste and decorum in associating a model announcement with the D-Day commemorations, and so it must be something to do with the S160? That they’re doing it in N would be my hope. (Hope, not expectation…) Richard 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hope, not expectation…) Richard As always very cryptic, but I absolutely agree it should be tasteful and respectful of the the loss of life on D-Day and the days that followed in the liberation of Europe and give us the freedoms we enjoy today. Personally I am not 100% sure about the S160 even as a OO model given it's limited period of UK/European operation, but then I don't have the market research and it isn't my cash being used so what does my opinion matter? What I would see as much more viable in N is the Robinson ROD (LNER 04) 2-8-0 given it's long life, pretty extensive use in the UK and overseas and one in UK preservation (more in OZ). However, I think Rapido have very much managed the N Gauge modeller's expectation recently by saying that N models will have a slower lead-time so I expect a OO model of some kind and the "Don't Panic" reference rather suggests a "Dad's Army" themed model so not necessarily even a loco or item of rolling stock - I agree with what has been said elsewhere - possibly CPL Jones's van or similar.
