Minimal wish-listing

[Yet_Another]

Well, here goes:

Loco: New body class 25 (low hanging fruit, surely?)

Then it gets a bit more blue-sky...

Coach: RTC Trib train auto-trailer

Wagon: John Summers iron ore hoppers

Given that there have been two versions of the RTC 24, and the somewhat fictional 28, there surely has to be a market for the trib train coaches?

And the John Summers wagons, which are similar to the ICI limestone ones, are a memory from childhood. I have no expectation that I'll ever see them in RTR. But it is a wish-list.

I did a 3D print 48DS for one of the little Japanese chassis plus a little bit of filing. DCC would be interesting to say the least at that size.

(https://github.com/EtchedPixels/3DPrint-NonCommercial/tree/main/48DS has the needed OpenSCAD files to generate the STL to print one)

We've had smallish 0-4-0 chassis even back into the 1970s that ran well (at least on electrofrogs). This probably belongs in the SPAM section but show what was possible with those chassis - and these are DCC converted.

A couple of Danygraig shed locos from Swansea



So they are definitely doable with DCC and modern technology!

Half a century ago Bachmann, Rivarossi and Arnold produced 0-4-0 locos that were often redeployed under British bodyshells from GEM etc.

Ten years ago Hornby added a Peckett 0-4-0 to their OO range, shortly followed by Hattons launching a similar sized Andrew Barclay.

Who wouldn't want at least one of those in N Gauge?

Sorry, Mike, but my hand is up
