Title: If you could only buy 1 what would it be ??
Post by: sparky on June 12, 2014, 04:20:51 PM
If you had your last bit of available cash and were limited to just one more N gauge purchase what would it be ???... I think mine would be a Dapol Blue/Grey HST "set"... sort of 1 anyway

I'd buy Graham Farish from Bachmann!

It would be a single purchase, honest...

Best regards
Michael

BachFarish Ivatt BR Black.

Superb model in every respect and a versatile prototype. if you wanted to run a branch line and could use only one loco that would fit the bill perfectly.

Dapol 156. Multiple unit of choice for me. would enable all manner of little layouts to be built

Blue Pullman.

Would I be allowed extra cash for a layout to run it on? :)

It would be the same as my first N gauge purchase - a Kato Eurostar. Athough I'd like it to be chipped for DCC and have coach alights

If availabiliy wasn't an issue, it's a very hard choice! I think regardless, the model would be from CJM and weathered to their beautiful standards. The Blue/Grey HST is a very good shout, or perhaps a BR Blue Western, a Blue or a Railfreight Grey 56, Green Deltic with small yellow panels, a Fairburn Tank, a Railfreight grey 58, a weathered blue 20, a class 411, the list goes on (and on).
I'm also excited about all the stuff which has been announced from Daol and GF (and not yet released!) Blue 33, a class 50, a Schools, a new tooling blue 25, a Merchant Navy. I honestly can't choose  :D
I'm guessing we're not allowed to commission one off builds - if that were the case, I'd be wanting an APT-E...

Seeing as 'ow the modern lot are ordering complete trains (Blue Pullman etc) can I have the Dapol Schools with a rake of at least 6 Maunsells - if/when they ever get released!

For me it would be a Green 9F from Minitrix.

Much as I like the Ivatt 2MT, the NE Region got rid of theirs as too small and weak quite early-  so I can't really justify a third one.....

I'll go for a Q6, though I might have to wait a lot of years for someone to get round to doing one.

Am I allowed to buy other things while I'm waiting?

Well that's 2 of us Mike! Dapol have told Hattons that the Maunsells will be due August/September and the Schools in December, make a nice Xmas pressie especially if Osborns are doing the correct livery! Here's hoping  :thumbsup:

A class 89.. RTR of course.. Can't justify CJM money!
Or an APT-P full set...
I just hope Dapol/DJM/Farish are listening!!!

Oh yes please! A Union Mills 'City of Truro' would be a real treat!

Otherwise, a ready-to-run Class 76 would be nice.

A Dapol blue/yellow class 33 Crompton - latest news is that I only have to wait until November ! The southern may have been good with passenger emu's and some dmu's; they weren't as good with loco hauled stock so a 33 with nothing behind it was not that unusual. Mind you, what a waste of nem sockets just waiting for easy couplers and a train to run around.

A 3-car Hampshire DEMU in blue/grey if one should ever become available in RTR.

I would love a class 303 or 311 blue train but unlikely to ever happen in n gauge. Only emu that I regularly travelled on and It lasted over 40 years

Well, the question was asked:' If you had your last bit of available cash and were limited to just one more N gauge purchase what would it be'

The best 'all singing, all dancing' custom-built N-scale layout that could be purchased...

But then, it did say 'available cash', so I guess a Peco KNR-9 wagon kit would just about take it all....  :( :(

Oh well, Dreams are free, c'est la vie' . . .

Thanks for asking
