Not interested in coaches and I've produced most of my wagon wishlist as 3D prints (See my shop below if you want one I've designed!).

The huge void for me is industrial steam locos smaller than the Austerity/J94.

Half a century ago Bachmann, Rivarossi and Arnold produced 0-4-0 locos that were often redeployed under British bodyshells from GEM etc.

Ten years ago Hornby added a Peckett 0-4-0 to their OO range, shortly followed by Hattons launching a similar sized Andrew Barclay.

Who wouldn't want at least one of those in N Gauge?

Space for a DCC chip is limited and a short wheelbase will challenge pickup, but the loco could be sold paired with a shunters'/coaling truck, (like Hornby's OO Ruston 48DS), to tackle such issues.

Crikey, not looked in here for a bit and Section 25 have been up. Still going, and still as good as I remember them when I was 15 and they played a backstreet dive here in Plymouth, with James and The Three Johns on the same bill.

Chillin' with Bonnie Raitt's greatest hits.
What a talented woman

Just three for me, all have been produced in OO, so most of the research has been done.

Class 165 or 166 in two or three car version, many liveries to choose from. (Bachmann)
P&D JHA hoppers in ARC and Hanson livery to go with the Class 59. (Dapol)
MRA side tipping wagons rake of five. (Dapol)

Coach in most later photos is a 4 compartment Thompson non corridor brake by the look of it. Did exist as an Ultima kit

Is available RTR in orribly oversized.

Quote from: Suffolk Rob on February 23, 2026, 04:04:24 PMCoach: At the time I would have said a non-corridor coach that would pass muster for a representation of the Killin Branch train.

@Suffolk Rob
Is that the same Killin where I stayed at The Falls of Dochart Inn last year?

Yes it would be. Used to be a short branch off the Calandar and Oban line. Not the most interesting line but typically a 1 coach train with a 4mt tank in it's final years. Buildings available from Pop up designs and always thought it would make a decent micro layout

Yes!

A one carriage train shuttled from Killin Junction on the C&O (Callendar & Oban, not Chesapeake & Ohio!) to Killin. The line continued to the closed station at Loch Tay where the locomotive shed was located at the end of the line. Worked by ex Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T locomotives for years and, latterly, by superpower in the form of BR '4MT' 2-6-4Ts.

The engine had to run round its train at Killin station, which didn't have a loop. The solution would have made Grantham's most famous resident* proud.

There's lots 'N' lots of photographs of the line in its final years and it has featured in the model railway magazines.

* No, not Lady Thatcher - the other one.

All the very best.
