davefrk Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Well Dave, after the Hornby announcement it's wide open for you to do the LMS non corridor coaches now. The more common types i.e. non lav. would be the best. Dave Franks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back near the start of this thread I proposed a GP38-2 in O Scale; not "just cos I want one", but there really is no decent 2-rail model available of this key type; it's a massive gap in a market that extends beyond the insular UK market.Never mind the Alcos - smokey, dirty things anyway - I'm going to repeat my wish... GP38-2 in 2-rail 1:48 scale..... Edited December 17, 2013 by F-UnitMad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Melrose Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well Dave, after the Hornby announcement it's wide open for you to do the LMS non corridor coaches now. The more common types i.e. non lav. would be the best. Dave Franks I have to agree with Dave on this - it would be a shame if no manufacturer delivered a range of these widely seen coaches. Go for it! Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so stupid, American outline locos have a huge market worldwide (compared to the UK, that is). I suspect OMI would want to handle it over here....(just have to remember that American "O" is 1/48...................) Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
retbsignalman Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hi! Dave, I Wish for 4mm Scale versions of ( and all in 1/4 2014 of course !!! ) ...... Class 71/74 .. Please. SR Bullied design 2/4EPB ... Pretty Please. "HALL"/"RMC" Aggregates Bogie PGA's .. Luverly Bright Orange and White .. and still in use today ... Pretty, Pretty Please BR Design Mountfield-Nortfleet Gypsum PGA's ( Baby HAA bodies on HAA U/F - MMMmmmMMM ) ... Pretty, Pretty Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaase. That'll do for Starters .... . Mike A good call Mike and definitely the Bulleid 2/4 EPB which would hopefully lend itself to a 4Sub without too much faff in the moulding dept.... The PGAs would be nice too (memories of Cromptons flogging their way through Lee station with 16 on)! I'm sure a lot of Southern region modellers could use DACE PWay wagons too In anticipation !

Adams442T Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hi Dave, Please consider doing private owner wagons for the Big 4 era. And/or earlier. I'm sure an accurate, well detailed, plain coal wagon or two, 00 and 'O', to take advantage of the POW Sides transfer range would be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornbyandbf3fan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) You can take the J15 off of your list now, don't think you got off easy though; a J27, J36, J72 or J50 would be well received by me and I'm sure lots of others!

RMweb Premium OnTheBranchline Posted December 19, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2013 Dave, The only thing I ask (other than PO Wagons) is when you pick a loco to do, you try to be as historically accurate with it as possible (not in a haphazard fashion like the red box company).

Tractor37516 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 First of all can i thank Dave for opening this option to us. Id agree with the calls for 009 British Outline, maybe a Quarry Hunslet or a WD Baldwin. Would also agree to PEP series EMU's, preferably 313's. Decent tooling affordable HAA's Maybe 'Stingray' style YGA. Steel Mesh Bodied OBA's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 My main interest is N gauge ex-GWR lines, which are fairly well served for RTR models but there are a few things I'd like to see: A GWR Mogul, I don't think any 2-6-0s have been made in RTR N which is odd given that the Class 43xx seemed to get everywhere. There are probably enough GWR 4-6-0s available although I'd be unable to resist a King made to modern standards. A 2-6-2 Large Prairie to modern standards would be great too, and I'm sure it would be popular. As an aside, I wonder if it would be possible to add electrical pickups to the leading and/or trailing trucks on a 2-6-2? I also think the GWR 2-8-2 tank engines look great but I'm not sure how commercially viable they would be. The GWR steam railmotor is a nice idea, as is a streamlined GWR diesel railcar. Finally, some GWR coaches with flush glazing and close coupling with NEM pockets. Something that lasted long enough to be painted BR maroon would be perfect. Maybe some non-gangwayed suburban coaches? That's assuming Dave wants to get into rolling stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold A Murphy Posted December 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2013 Dave, I've already asked for an n gauge 04/ROD (seen all over the UK, tons of liveries, world wide variants, Syria, China, Australia, France, Belgium and WW1 model tie in possibilities). As others seem to be doing lists, could I suggest that a GCR tender unit would then enable: D9, D10, D11 (Union Mills make one I know), J11, (UM do it, but it is hard work to detail and/or update) and particularly, the J10 Any of the GC 4-6-0s . It would have to be a GC tender, with perhaps another version for the ROD. Just think of some of the liveries you could do.... Mr Pixels of this parish is busy producing GCR N gauge stock including matchboard mainline and suburban coaches. A final request would be a C13 - an n gauge r-t-r 4-4-2, wonderful. My first J94 is on order...... it could be commitment if any of the above were forthcoming! :-) Best wishes Alastair M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 But, on topic, the one loco I should have a very serious talk to my wife about, would be an O gauge Duke-Dog (in BR Black) - by next Christmas, if you'd be so kind, Dave! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
69843 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Dave, I know you are doing the dummy option with the N gauge 17, but I would suggest that a dummy loco in OO gauge (and even maybe O) might not be a bad option, as you could use it in a few ways, such as a locomotive being towed for repairs, dead locomotive on the back of a train etc. without having to worry about DCC or even if used on DCC no need to consist.
