Good shout, I would love a 21/29. Sadly I think that when RevolutioN proposed it as a crowdfunded initiative back in 2015 it was maybe a bit too early in their existence and the crowdfunding model not well proven.
 
Also probably fair to say that back then it was proposed as an outsourced model produced by Dapol whereas today it would be one where RevolutioN would likely be much more "hands on" with spec, design, choice of factory.

If not made by RevolutioN then sadly I can't personally see anyone else picking it up which is a shame, because if Dapol can make a 22 viable as an N product then the 21/29 would surely be equally so and they have made one in OO (very nice too)

TPO stowage van - makes perfect sense too  .

Are this:

and this:

the same thing?

IIRC Dapol had great difficulty obtaining the information to produce the OO class 21/29 so they are the only viable manufacturer. They will know how the sales of the class 22 in N compared with the OO equivalent and how the sales of the OO 21/29 compared with the sales of the OO 22, so are in a good position to know whether such a model would be viable (or not).

The class 29 was particularly associated with the West Highland line in the period 1968-72. This period (BR blue pre-TOPS) is one which is largely ignored by the manufacturers, except for classes such as Claytons and diesel hydraulics which never received TOPS numbers.

My version of the Oakbank tank; it's in the James Street thread;




It's not quite right; the bogies are a little inboard to allow for coupling throw on corners, and there's one too  many anchor plates (for strength when building it).
