i`d really like it if they did.......in n gauge

what do people want, that isnt already out there

It would take a radical bit of engineering (actually, just a tender drive), but I'd love a Dean Single, or any of the earlier outside frame engines. Then someone would have to start making 4 and 6 wheel coaches again of course.

I'd love a Milwakee Road EP-2 'Bipolar'. Really, really ugly, but I like it. :-)

EMU's....any of 'em!

matt-b · January 04, 2011, 07:04:26 PM

do you have anymore room for emu`s thou. how many you got now

Tank · January 04, 2011, 07:55:53 PM

There is always room.

And if there isn't, I'll add more track!

So far I have a 4CIG (old style Electra Graphics), a 442 Wessex that will need a complete repaint, another 442 which is perfect, a 4CIG on the way from eBay......and a 4CIG and Class 455/8 that are being made and painted for me.

being made? ahhh they a kit?

jonclox · January 04, 2011, 08:23:19 PM

Very,very early steam locos including the 'Rocket' etc etc

Both are being made from scratch. Well, the 455 is being adapted from 3 Class 150's.

Totally agree there! That would be superb. I wonder if anyone has made one?

porkie · January 04, 2011, 09:39:46 PM

I would love a RTR EMU's like class 325 and 321's

departmental rolling stock would also be cool

And finally Inspection saloon cars

zwilnik · January 04, 2011, 09:40:21 PM

feasibly any of the older engines like the Rocket etc. are viable in N if you use a motorised coach. I noticed a Kato 'chibi' train on e-bay the other day where they did just that. Might be a fun scratch build project

matt-b · January 04, 2011, 09:48:29 PM

does anyone know the process farish/dapol etc go through choosing models?

I just want Farish to drop that dreadful excuse for a power unit they've adopted for steam locomotives.

There's a lot of way better motors out there nowadays too. Some of the stuff they're using in the micro RC helicopters for instance (with tiny batteries that would fit inside a PO wagon too!). There are some good linear motors too. What about using one in a piston and do 'proper' piston driven steam engines?

(ok that last one is more of a case of doing it because it can be done rather than it being actually the best way

)

I'd dearly love to see 60163 Tornado in N.

I'd welcome the 4CEP as mentioned above - but have to ask why Bachmann went for the CEP, which was mostly restricted to the SE lines, rather than VEPs which were seen all over the SR (and interfaced with the WR too), so have much wider appeal and livery opportunities.
