Minimal wish-listing

[Foxhound]

Wagon: IIA-D DRAX biomass hoppers.

Ross.

Revolution have done them, and very nice they are too.

They are really nice, but at £40 each, putting a 22-wagon train together gets eye-wateringly expensive, so I'll be making my own. Given today's high prices that's pretty-much the case for all my future wagons and coaches though.

Ross.

I have a similar cost issue with container wagons for GBRf, might just have to get a couple of triple packs one pack at a time and run a short train!

Back on the wishlist, I would like a reissue of Farish 371-087A 25225 in BR blue please....

Re-livery - Porterbrook Deltic (just kidding)

  I know you're not well but I thought for one moment you'd lost your sanity there

Oh, come on, you know you want one too.... 

  

[Foxhound]

I wouldn't want a Deltic anywhere near my layout to be fair. The only EE stuff on my layout is an 08, a 20 and 37207. I would stretch to 40192 if I could find it.
Currently having a crisis of conscience about whether to sell my Farish Peaks and invest in Rapido offerings, and selling my Farish 33s to buy Dapol ones.

Good choice.  Farish 371178
Class 40 192. Pretty rare

[port perran]

I'd go for:

GWR County 4-6-0
GWR King 4-6-0

Pressed Steel 3-car/Class 117 DMU

I'd definitely go for the County and King.

As we have a Sonic A5 incoming, I would love another GC icon to be added, namely the Robinson ROD 2-8-0 or 04 as it became known in LNER days.

My other equally slightly GC biased "wish" (albeit found running there in BR days) would be a new state of the art 9F with proper loco-drive and DCC sound. I know Dapol have very recently been releasing their model, "upgraded" with traction tyres, but having originally been introduced way back in 2008 it really is very dated now and seems ripe for someone to step in. After all, this is a huge class of loco (251 produced), widely spread geographically 9 preserved of which a number restored to running condition and some oddities like the "Tyne Dockers" and "Crostis"..

There was one on the Footplate website a couple of months ago. I spotted it as I was leaving work. 20 minutes drive to get home, it was gone.....

[Greygreaser]

RTR semaphore signals - upper quadrant in both bracket and junction versions TO SUIT LNER & BR layouts "north of Watford"

DMU - Class 117 (BachFar) or complete 3 car Thumper (Kernow/EFE??? please?)

Definitely in favour of both.

Thumpers ran regularly as far as Bristol as late as the early 90s and certainly worked down to Exeter in the 70s and 80s.

[bluedepot]

ah yeh good idea on the thumper!

also kernow could do a 4tc

they produced of commissioned these before I recall in oo.

A 4TC is a much desired thing....

[pinball]

The 4TC also operated into Bristol and Exeter, so again of interest to West Country modellers too.

The CAD wasn't too bad, it was the artwork that nearly killed me on mine!  I found 3 of the 4 "Renewable Pioneers" images before Revolution announced theirs. Must have another look for the last one!

SR EMUs feel like such a gap still. I said the 442 as my 'want', and I note it topped the OO gauge poll in the EMU category last week. The CIG, TC, BEP, REP, BIG, refurbished CEP etc all feel like candidates! My nervousness with a TC is how expensive it would be. There's a perception it's 'just' 4 coaches, but we know from the manufacturers that dummies don't make economical sense, as omitting the running gear doesn't save all that much.

[F2Andy]

Any first-generation, high-density DMU.

There were a lot of them built, they were all round the country. I guess they are not glamorous enough for the manufacturers.
