SR Schools class 4-4-0?

Curious: without the Schools class, SR would have had all sorts of problems, and Hornby have several in the 00 line-up, but I can't find any record of a version in .

Anyone know anything I don't?

I'm afraid there is nothing available ready to run (however with a close following of Hornby models in the Dapol range, who knows for the future?). Worsley Works do produce a 'scratch aid' for the Schools if you are interested.

A useful site for all things southern is this one..plenty of pictures and details of slightly more obscure Southern locos and stock...

Ah - those scratch aids do look to be worth closer inspection. Thanks!

Its come top of several polls for locos wanted so I'd expect a schools to appear. In a joined up world it would appear along with Maunsell coaches !

Joined up world? Come off it - too many politicians around for that to happen!

I believe sales of 'Southern' and EMUs in 00 are doing reasonably well at the moment, and Southern modelling in general does seem to be enjoying a rise in popularity - so I wouldn't be surprised to see a Schools or Nelson available at some point in the next couple of years alongside some Maunsell stock.

Fingers crossed

An Arthur would be good - long-lived and plenty of variants and you could probably convert it to an S15 too.

There are kits at least for S15/N15 although the wheel size is a bit of a problem with the suggested chassis. I'm not aware of even a white metal kit for a schools
