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!

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.

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

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.
Spend as little as possible on what you need so you can spend as much as possible on what you want.

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).




port perran

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.

Pretty much everything I'm likely to want is already out there in some shape or form. My wish-list contains one item - a bit more money to spend on such things...  :(

Sigh...

Cheers,

Getting away a bit from Steven B's original post, aren't we?   :)

Just what I was about to say!

As a reminder:
Quoteminimal wish list of models either never produced, or not produced to current standards - one wagon, one coach and one loco/multiple unit. Plus one re-livery of an existing model

After two years, my wish list remains the same:
HEA
Mk2 BFK
Class 110

My choice of relivery would probably be a 37 in Intercity.

Guilty as charged but I don't require wagons or coaches. My loco list is my minimum :)
