I guess there'll be some who'd love to see a loco that isn't steam . . . .

And an equal number who'd love to see a loco built before 1900....

Ain't that the beauty of the hobby though - interests are so diverse, whatever you anounce you will be sure to please some but are guaranteed to upset a sizable proportion of the market!!

One of my favorite locomotive.

Well done, Mick. I like that a lot.

Not sure what is in their latest offering but suggestions that Peter may be Blue after the announcement or perhaps some Scottish Clan may ruin his day?

box spanner ?

Derby Lightweight DMU sets, first in service in volume and lasted through to '69, shouldn't be too difficult to achieve from tooling for 108s.
