Yes, 67's sadly getting disposed. Seems nothing lasts long these days.

The Royal Train being rather long in the tooth was a candidate for disposal and cost of replacement and ongoing costs would be crazy.

As has already been pointed out, the only options available are at the top of the thread.

In the perhaps unlikely event this is possible, I'm actually looking out for a couple I can use in an era 5-6 contex  t

What about a Siphon G or H ?
I know they used to be available unpainted from Dapol.
They could be realistically liveried to appeal to modellers of non passenger rollingstock as well as goods vehicles.
I'm sure someone could come up with an authentic and believable scheme ...

67s are being scrapped as they have no revenue earning work. Whilst anything with a Royal insignia will always be popular there's a good chance these won't see any more front line action and will quite likely rot at Toton before being chopped up!

The most obvious candidate would be Shawplan - they do a set for the existing loco(s). The frustration is how hard it is to get hold of Brian to actually order anything, let alone make an enquiry about whether he'll be updating his etches!

Saw them at the De Montfort Hall, Leicester in the 70s and was blown away

Quote from: njee20 on Yesterday at 10:36:40 PMNot sure you'll get many people falling over themselves to do new etches!

I am not sure why you suggest that.

Locomotive nameplates etc. for steam and diesel locos abound and most of them have been scrapped. As the last example of a Royal Train surely that would make it an outstanding candidate for replication of the insignia and nameplates.

Just my thoughts.

Ain't we all, Tim

I like that, especially the '10ft - feels longer'

Back Street Luv was one of my favourite singles from the early 70s from a really good LP - Curved Air 11
I saw Curved Air just the once when BSL was in the charts.

And although I'm not a huge fan of Guns n Roses I do like November Rain.
I saw them, dragged along kicking and shouting by my daughter, with The Cure at Milton Keynes Bowl in the late 90s.
