For me the chief locomotive type missing from my collection which would have run on the sea wall would be a County 4-6-0.

A new model King would be good too but my two old GF ones will suffice for the time being.

Quote from: tunneroner61 on January 07, 2025, 05:11:28 PMI'd go for:

GWR County 4-6-0
GWR King 4-6-0

Pressed Steel 3-car/Class 117 DMU

To these I would add:

GWR 72XX and 52xx tank locos

Maunsell SR King Arthur, Lord Nelson and  Q class 0-6-0

LNER V1/V3, N2 and EX GC 04

LMS Fowler 2-6-4

None of the locos that I have mentioned have ever been made RTR although some have been kits or scratch aids, and I would buy at least one of any that become RTR

Regards,

Alex

I would add to that: -

LMS Princess Elizabeth class (Lizzies).
GNR/LNER K3
Stanier Mogul
J26/27 0-6-0 (to modern spec now that Union Mills are no more).

Probably my favourite Half Man Half Biscuit song except maybe Trumpton Riots
I believe John Peel was a great exponent of HMHB. I used to hear them pretty regularly on one of his shows.

Since I can't find one anywhere and they are long OOP as far as I can tell, I'd love to see Class 37 EWS Livery produced again with current best-in-show sound.

Ross.

Revolution have done them, and very nice they are too.

John P

They are really nice, but at £40 each, putting a 22-wagon train together gets eye-wateringly expensive, so I'll be making my own. Given today's high prices that's pretty-much the case for all my future wagons and coaches though.

Ross.

I have a similar cost issue with container wagons for GBRf, might just have to get a couple of triple packs one pack at a time and run a short train!

Back on the wishlist, I would like a reissue of Farish 371-087A 25225 in BR blue please....
i would also like to see the 25 re released but also a Class 25/ 3

Very nice! I was wondering about the time of your post, but I see you are in the US. But then EtchedPixels came in soon after, burning the midnight oil!!
