Welcome back -  I have a Farish 3MT Tank and it is still a really good runner. Did the Class 4 run on the Western?

Oh yes. We numbered mine 75013 and Dr Al also sent me a pic of that loco at Oxford

Quote from: Newportnobby on July 26, 2026, 12:06:30 PMAn open plea for anyone to make a RTR model of this loco.
With Farish having made the Black 5 and the excellent class 5 I'm surprised they haven't gone for this yet. No one has even mentioned it.

Totally agree, this is definitely a missing link in N gauge, hopefully as Farish has the 2-6-0 version they will produce it someday

They were certainly used on the Cambrian route

A class of 80 locos (of which 6 are preserved) its route availability of 4 meant it was seen widely across the regions.
I do have a model made for me by Dr Al which is a Langley model on a Black 5 chassis which is a stunner (mine is the weathered one nearest the camera. Pic by Dr Al). A newer model would make life easier for those who use that DCC electrickery

Anyway, it's great to hear you are back amongst us again even though it must have been a pretty scary time. Just keep looking after yourself.

All the best,

Well, the hardware's fine, but his 'software' is Windows 3.1...

...without the updates.

 

OK. I admit to still using Supercalc 5
