There were a lot of them built, they were all round the country. I guess they are not glamorous enough for the manufacturers.

By using the chassis from the class 128, Revolution have a few to go at hence the proposed class 120

I have only just stumbled across this thread... A Minimal Wish List does much to concentrate one's mind! I'd go for:-
 
1) LOCOMOTIVE - BR Standard Class 4MT 4-6-0 (single and double chimney): a very useful model with a wide regional appeal.
2) COACH - Bulleid BCK Diagram 2405 - one can then pair it with the existing Bachmann/Graham Farish r-t-r BSK(semi-open) Diagram 2123  and make a useful two-car Set (Set Nos.63 to 75).
3) WAGON - any twin-tank 6-wheel Milk tank, for variety...

...and I am a Western Region (Eras 4/5) modeller, with a an interest in the Southern Region, but it seems to me that a GWR/BR(WR) modeller is very well served at present, and, yes, a "King" and a "County" (Hawksworth) would be nice, but the SR/BR(SR) is, as usual, very much the poor relation in comparison to the GWR/BR(WR) and is missing so much in r-t-r!

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

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

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.

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

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.
