Minimal wish-listing

[Newportnobby]

Loco - GWR 850 class saddle tank.
Coach - LMS MTU test coach.
Wagon - LNER banana brake van.

What's a banana brake van, please?

Martyn

A 3D print with curved chassis?

Please no cheating with complete trains (except MUs!) or swapping wagons for extra locos!

It's interesting to see the responses so far - possibly more telling than a generic wish-list which I'm sure would run to dozens of models for most of us!

I'm probably going to get a lot of grief for this for being wrong.



But I call it a banana brake van.

Never seen or heard of it, but a wonderful quirky piece of rolling stock!

Sorry for doubting you....

Okay, I'll go for:

Locomotive: Class 87
Wagon: Imerys TEA china clay slurry tank
Carriage: Mk2e chair car and Mk2f lounge to run with Mk3 sleepers (this would obviously be a twin pack, so it only counts as one!)

Over recent years I've been working on making all my trains more prototypical. Modelling the late 1980s I'm quite luck that most of what I'd like to run has been produced (but perhaps not in the liveries I like!).

There are still some gaps - plenty of them, but I've been giving some thought to what's the most important. The result is my minimal wish list of models either never produced, or not produced to current standards - one wagon, one coach and one loco/multiple unit.

Wagon: HEA
Coach: Mk2 BFK (C or D)
Loco/MU: Class 110

What would be on your minimal wish list?

As a "Brucie bonus" you can add one re-livery of an existing model - a rail freight grey class 47 please!


Steven B

Locomotive: class 117 DMU
Carriage: Mark 3 TRFB
Wagon: FEA container flat (modern tooling, not the Poole era Farish type which I have)

[AdeV]

Hmm, tough one...

Loco: LMS Garrett
Coach: Not sure what it's called, the type of coach used in push-pull trains, with a driver's cab. In LMS livery.
Wagon: no idea, haven't researched freight yet
