N Gauge News Diesel & Electric Poll

[Browning 9mm]

placed my votes, but the question is even if they become a project, how long would it take, and how much will prices have gone up ?

still it was nice to think that my votes might make a difference.

Neal,
Did you look in the "Which AC Electric locomotive class would you like to see produced RTR in N Gauge" section for the class 87? It's currently in 5th place, just ahead of the class 89 (but behind the class 88).

Along with the class 91 and GWR railcar it's one of the few GraFar D&M locos yet to to be re-done to current standards. Otherwise there's just the VAA, PCA and FFA/FGA left to do of the post steam era models.

Steve,

I did, but it's also an existing tooling that needs upgrading, desperately! and I voted for it along with all the other Roarers 

But heyho, Tom's done a fantastic job on this poll, wonder why it's not on RMWeb 

Cheers

Neal.

...wonder why it's not on RMWeb 

I think treason is still a capital offence in certain jurisdictions including RMWebland 

[Browning 9mm]

including RMWebland

been there, wasn't impressed, never went back again.

too tempted to get my mates to visit them 

certainly would not consider it treason to comment on them in the real world, though the jury is still out on whether they are in the real world

I think that the "See All Results" button is very misleading as I at first thought that we had just 4 of each type to choose from, "See More" would be a better title.

I'm also surprised that the APT comes out well above every other AC High Speed EMU, while all the entries have a somewhat limited area/era of operation, none are as limited as the APT.

That was fun - one can dream.

There's a lot of good evidence right here of why a poll hasn't been done recently...

- why is it not on RMWeb?
- why have you structured it like that?
- where's x model?

Must be near a full house!

Umm...

I don't think that's anything to do with this.

[njee20]

Well I guess it sort of is insofar as it's about the poll. But I'm not sure the link adds anything . Surprised RG didn't suggest merging the threads.

Sadly the poll software used has very limited settings and showing more than the first four options without expanding the list is not one of them. For any future polls I'll find something more suitable to the task.

I thought the poll was easy to use and the grumbles about it are just because people jumped straight in and didn't think "where are the other items on the list?".
Typical men who don't read the instructions.

Boring. Polls are ineffective in any context. There's lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Oh, one exception.....

The poll for the NGF 10th Anniversary wagon! 

[GrahamB]

Completed.

I can dream..........

I had no issues with following the way the poll worked but if people didn't understand that there were more hidden choices then it is likely to have had some impact on the results I would have said.

However, I doubt that woulkd have any impact on the top positions in most cases as they are well in the lead. The 117 is absolutely no surprise and I wonder whether this might spur RevolutioN to have a look at the Class 76, I know it contradicts perceived logic due to limited geography, but it has been "up there" in the popularity stakes for years and if any loco is a potential "Rule 1" model then the 76 would be.
