I think a V2 would be the best commercial choice for Farish.

First generation dmu

101, 108, 121 have been released. 117 be cool. Ist generation emu like 304, 310

I would to add my voice for a decent Class 25/3 in N. This is probably one of the largest gaps in the diesel fleet, now that Rapido are doing a Peak.

I agree with many of the above comments.

My personal choice - one which i am always bugging the main players about is the Princess Royal class.

A chap from Farish once told me that it wasn't likely as it was a small class. When i said that Farish had produced the prototype Deltic, he got busy with something else :-\

When you think of it, Farish could conceivably sell 12 Princess Royal locos to each interested party, as opposed to just 1 Deltic.

Sorry,  just my twopeneth worth.

Also - how about some variation to the Coronation class? Continuous footplate, flattened smokebox, the last two?

No response from Farish nor Dapol to my email of July 11 re lack of Southern 4-6-0s, why am I not surprised?

Hi Mike - I shall chase this up. We do have quite long a list of unannounced N Gauge models that are either in early stages of development or in the queue but cannot confirm any more details.

Personally I would like to see a B16 of some description and an N1. A Farish V2 with better pulling powers would also be nice (although mine has got a little better with time).

Farish's tender driven locos are very weak to haul coaches.
Should I attach weight to tender?

Have you fitted the second set of axle/wheels with the traction tyres on them?

All mine have two sets of axles/wheels with tyres, and they can haul 8 coaches or about 25-30 4 wheel wagons.

For all those asking for Southern 4-6-0's does Dapol or Bachmann do them in OO? This is not a bashing of Southern as I do like their locos and would love a King Arthur or a Nelson for my layout. I can only think of the King Arhur, S15 and Nelson available in OO for Southern 4-6-0's and all these are in the Hornby range

What I am thinking is that does either manufacturer have the research they can use for the N gauge version, this helps reduce development time and cost, but I am struggling for one from either.

Not suffered this at all, although I have no gradients on my layout.
I'd be happy to see a retooled V2, too, as the old one doesn't really cut it.
An unrebuilt 'Patriot' would be a nice addition to my steam fleet :drool:
