Modelling the Isle of Wight in the 80s

[Adam1701D]

I am planning a small plank layout based on the IOW in the late 80s  early 90s an am looking for a few recommendations, if possible.

Revolutions Class 483 in NSE is on pre-order and I have Kernow's NSE 03179. Are there any 3D printed / resin kits out there for the 1927 LT Standard Stock and Hunslet Class 05 shunter that anyone knows of? I have had a good check on the forums and the web but not found anything.

There was also an intriguing selection of departmental stock that is begging to be modelled, so any good literature showing these would also be of interest.

Anyone else inspired by Rev's 483 to have a go?

I'm sure I saw a picture of a 485/486 print on the PT Models Facebook page but I'm not sure where he is up to with it.

Give Tom a shout at ptmodels1@gmail.com and he should be able to help.  I have one of his EMUs on order.

BH Enterprises do (or did - it's currently out of stock according to the catalogue) an etched kit of an 05. Designed to fit in a Minitrix dock tank chassis, probably not the best choice. A Farish 03 chassis is a better bet.

Many thanks - I'll have a word.

That might be too much of a challenge for my sausage fingers
