?? A typo surely (or you misread)
They are readily available from any number of suppliers including Bachman themselves for around £8.50...

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

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.

Expecting a quiet quarter for us, maybe an additional club 37 from the new tooling.

New tooling possibly being held back for a pre NEC launch but wouldn't expect it to be N.

But with EFE in the announcements too, there's always hope, although I've personally done quite well with what's been announced from Farish and others this year containing a lot that I'd like

They'll follow the Baby Deltic with a shrink ray version of the SR Booster. How do I know? I'm getting close to finishing two from @JimSan so that's a great guide for me.......!

Ideally anything ex-SR or BR (SR) and in use pre-1964.

Again all I'd ask for is a new loco-driven 4-4-0 with outside cylinders, don't care for which of the big four it belongs to as I just want the chassis to make the 4-4-0s I do want (along with some non-4-4-0s)

So I want a new model LMS 4P in short.

Quote from: Ensign Elliott on November 03, 2026, 11:39:18 AMI'll continue to wish for a King and a 10xx County, though a 94xx would be lovely too, and possibly more realistic considering it was one of the first locos made by Farish back in the day and due for a modern upgrade.

I'd love to see any steam loco that ISN'T GWR.....

Well, we've had GWR (Hall), LMS (8F) and LNER (V2) from Farish, but they don't like doing much SR, so I went WR. Of course I'd like a brand new SR 4-6-0 or a rebuilt BoB/WC or MN... but they don't have much in the shrink ray potential that is SR.

EFE could also do a trick with eg the Class 15 diesel.

But diesel wise I'd really love a Class 25/3.

Perhaps if we keep waving the idea of a 94xx under their noses... here are mine, weathered and tweaked by @Ensign Elliott
