i`d really like it if they did.......in n gauge

[PostModN66]

R2 (10.5" radius) points - maybe with built in motors for fiddle yards

Fleischmann and Kato and a lot of other track systems are fairly close to this. it's one reason a chunk of my fiddleyard points are recycled Fleischmann I acquired

A 323 EMU

Been there done that

Different tunnel mouths (i.e not just the same old Peco one)

Take a look at the German ones. The loading gauge is a bit larger which actually means that for 1:148 they look pretty much bang on, whereas US ones tend to look un-British and oversize.

Business park buildings

If you can find them then there is a very old Metcalfe set (from the days before they were pre-cut) of rather nice buildings in keeping for an older business park. The modern ones are generally enormous though, so you'd stick a Homebase on your layout and have no room for trains

People dressed for summer (not in big thick coats with trilby hats)

No demand  More seriously some of the Presier and Tomix range does cover this quite well. While a lot of Tomix figures are quite Japanese there are some very useful ranges of swimmers and the like, a lovely set of chefs who would fit the Pullman rakes nicely, and a set that looks like it escaped from reservoir dogs (mine are going to be bouncers I think)

Thanks for all the above Alan,

I have got one of your 323 kits - just summoning up the courage to hack into my 170 donor vehicle!

I have also got some continental tunnel mouths from the second hand stall at the AGM (last year's) a bit of research has revealed they are from the Gotthard tunnel - I wonder how many people would spot that on a Pennine layout!

I will have a look for Fleischmann points. I know all about the Kato number 4s, having modified 17 of them for Lofthole to get Dapol 66s to run through them!

Cheers  Jon

Surprised no mention of City of Truro, I would love to have one!! Would go for a Rocket if it appeared, even a 3D printed static one.

best wishes
Simon

I'm with you n that one Simon but the one thing I would really like is a little Sentinel shunter. Given the number of 00 models that are available I would have thought someone would have brought one out by now.

The Noch range covers this too they even have one set (N36843 ) with figures which you can dress yourself!

Hi,

Might bore you all as continental but want one of these for my north west french port layout...

SNCF Turbotrain. Presume HO and you need to scroll down a bit.

Did see one in N quickly (I think) at a meeting of the SNCF society about 3 years ago which I presumed scratch built, as never seen it advertised, but had to go due to work problems so never got to ask.

Cheers weave.

PS. Message to Pengi. We are owned by the supporters now and therefore you will need permission to make N figures of the mighty blues from me 

Hope you're enjoying the dizzy heights......DON'T do a Portsmouth! 

I prefer the DMU in Nikola's signature pic

chinahand if you mean the Sentinal Steam Shunter as at Quainton then P D Marsh do a kit it uses the old Farish power bogie  it comes with a cover for the motor but you can file the motor down and then pile coal on top.

Apart from the fact that those old GF chassis are as rare as hen's teeth the whole model is quite a bit out of scale. It's definitely time somebody brought out an N Gauge RTR one.

I'm easy, a few assorted 0-4-0 Steam locos wouldn't go astray the big blokes are well taken care of.

[FRED LEWIS]

  Hi all Fred here .
         What i would like are some mk1 and mk4 bogies, Bachmann do these as spares in oo wish thy done them in n gauge so we can up grade old coaches when fitting etched sides.
                                                                                Fred

[Cutter]

I second the N2, and how about an Atlantic, say an LNER C1? And a Stirling single would be fun.

I'd like locomotives that work, and that appear in the stores on schedule. I'd be willing to trade a little Dapol/Farish detail for some Union Mills robustness.

Need to get back to it sometime, but I kind of lost the will to live after doing the bodyside rivets

Out of curiosity, what was the issue with the Kato #4s? I checked your layout thread which says "and all the points needed modding, as documented elsewhere", but haven't found the "elsewhere". My Dapol 58 has mastered them without any evident problems.

Please let me know when you do get back to it Alan.
