Porthole coaches as they were my favourite.

They do look nice, but are they sufficiently different to Series 3 Staniers to justify the tooling cost and could they sell enough?

The main difference that Porthole stock offers is that they lasted around 5 years longer and there were a fair number of them carried BR Blue & Grey livery (mostly 62ft brake 3rds and 60ft Composites)
However... given that Farish have previously said they couldn't justify tooling for alternative frame lengths to expand the existing Period 3 range (almost every train should include a 60ft Corridor Composite!) sadly, I don't think Porthole stock would come from that direction...

Electric
Class 74
EM1/2*
AM10 EMU*

Diesel
Any of DP2/Lion/Falcon/Kestrel (horribly niche, I know)
Class 15

*Would involve new layouts I'd also never finish

Seem to have all of these from kits except the AM10

A proper 15 would be nice as the Parkwood one while trivial to build (clean, paint, and insert buffers) is stretched a bit for the old Farish 20 chassis.

There are good chassis matches for the other one off locos so whilst the Britannia Pacific ones seem to have vanished alas it's certainly a good candidate for 3D printing and probably less so for mass produced plastic.

An AM10 would be nice (as someone who grew up near Birmingham) but the EMU world seems to be surprisingly badly covered in RTR until you get to modern image where we've got a huge selection (but still need a FLIRT)

With my former Ultima hat on - that puts you (at least from kit sales) deep in the minority.

Always up for a flirt.
When someone discovers how to do curved windscreens I reckon we'll get an AM10 and maybe a Trans Pennine class 124 but, by then, I'll probably be dust in the wind

Had thought I'd given my 3 some time back but apparantly not. What I would have said if I had is.

Loco: 21/29

Coach: At the time I would have said a non-corridor coach that would pass muster for a representation of the Killin Branch train. Dapol LMS suburban will do the job (assuming they find the last 10% of interest) even if not the exact type used

Wagon: OTA

@Suffolk Rob
Is that the same Killin where I stayed at The Falls of Dochart Inn last year?

Yes!

A one carriage train shuttled from Killin Junction on the C&O (Callendar & Oban, not Chesapeake & Ohio!) to Killin. The line continued to the closed station at Loch Tay where the locomotive shed was located at the end of the line. Worked by ex Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T locomotives for years and, latterly, by superpower in the form of BR '4MT' 2-6-4Ts.

The engine had to run round its train at Killin station, which didn't have a loop. The solution would have made Grantham's most famous resident* proud.

There's lots 'N' lots of photographs of the line in its final years and it has featured in the model railway magazines.

* No, not Lady Thatcher - the other one.

All the very best.

Yes it would be. Used to be a short branch off the Calandar and Oban line. Not the most interesting line but typically a 1 coach train with a 4mt tank in it's final years. Buildings available from Pop up designs and always thought it would make a decent micro layout

Coach in most later photos is a 4 compartment Thompson non corridor brake by the look of it. Did exist as an Ultima kit

Is available RTR in orribly oversized.
