Revolution Trains new models and reruns.

I'm like a kid at Christmas.

TEAs seems a cert to me.

325? A 90 maybe? Painted samples of new things. I may explode. It's a very real risk.

Now that would just cause me to build another layout I won't finish and a world of cost

I'm hanging my coat on a peg marked Class 28. (I'd like it to be Falcon, but I don't see it.)

Either would do me, although the class 28 really needs a twin weathered pack - 1 powered, 1 dummy

My money's on a Fell Diesel. No layout is complete without one.

bluedepot · September 07, 2018, 12:08:40 PM

probably an 87 or a 90 i would think as they like wcml?

Hi

I wish but highly unlikely.

Cheers

I must admit I forgot about multiple units.

If its a diesel, then the 175 and 185 come to mind, plus loads of units from the 60's until privatisation.

I'd say the 90 would be a great choice, but with Bachmann doing a OO gauge one you may expect a shrink ray to be applied in due course.

That said... Revolution already have painted samples of some things, and given Farish haven't even announced one and are beyond slow at releasing anything these days I'd bet my hat that Ben and Mike could steal a march on them and get theirs out far quicker. It'd be a gamble, but I'd give it very good odds.

87 could be interesting, would be an earlier period than a lot of their models, but would complement the 86 certainly, and just about the 92 and Pendolino.

Dunno what else... I'd love to see some car carriers - I know Ben thought the IPA was too much of a risk, and too expensive in a 4-car variant, but maybe the STVA covered single deck carriers used for vans and larger cars. Would go with the 92, WCML (and far wider), interesting model.

A 325 would be great and an interesting choice, but possibly a bit niche/limited appeal. Electrostars? Lots of potential derivatives, but could be a risk given their proliferation south of the river with few other RTR options.

Other container flats? Ecofrets? FSA/FTA? FLA?

Hi

Maybe some sort of Ferry Van especially as I am just about to start building some more Belgian ones.

Cheers

Didn't stop the production of a Pendolino.

Perhaps a bit of On Track Plant might be on the cards. How many could find space for a Plasser or a rail grinder?

Nooooooooooooooo! I'm all containered out and haven't finished the last purchase of kits from C=Rail.

With you on that.

One day someone must really get around to the Transfesa and smooth sided Interfrigo vans.

Perhaps you'd better put your modelling knife down until 09.01 tomorrow?

njee20 · September 07, 2018, 03:15:36 PM

The 325 seems more niche than a Pendolino, given the 320/321 struggled to gain sufficient interest it feels that a more esoteric prototype which has essentially only operated in one livery, in a fairly small time period and geographical window may be a stretch too far. That said, I've started scratch building one, which probably makes it far more likely!

There's always room for more boxes! The FSA/FTA could be good. I would say FFA/FGA, but Bachmann have that covered in OO (eventually and at vast expense, so perhaps not).

red_death · September 07, 2018, 03:18:26 PM

There's loads of really good ideas in this thread and I'm enjoying seeing some of the guesses!

jpendle · September 07, 2018, 03:26:31 PM

I'd definately be in for a modern car carrier,espacially a covered one, so you don't need any cars!

I fail to see why a 4 car unit would be too expensive. Let's face it, most modern freights have at least 12 wagons or more. So instead of buying 12 TEA's I would just be buying 3 four unit car carriers.

Regards,

njee20 · September 07, 2018, 03:30:42 PM

The 4-car units are the double deck ones like this, I agree that I'd not be put off by a 4-car unit at all at (say) £100 for a set, rather than £25 each, I get that you limit the market to people wanting several though.

It's these I think would be more likely, but the canvas sides could be hard to do. We shall see tomorrow! I'm not convinced I'll sleep.
