New loco
Re: New loco
Not just Jim! I like the pre-group 0-6-0 as a genre, and this was a very handsome and successful class. Hopefully along with the J36 that's got Scottish design locos on a roll, and few more of the beautiful classes can find manufacturers.
Re: New loco
I think if these two sell well, and 0-6-0s was a good choice, the flood gates may well open. The only slight worry is manufacturers like a prototype to laser scan now, and some great locos no longer exist.
Re: Two new locos even!
And I see that TMC have announced the G5 NER design 0-4-4T, also to be produced by Bachmann. Another outstanding choice that has been much requested.

Note to those administering/moderating: another addition to the list of smaller outfits offering locos!

Re: New loco
Whilst neither are in any way relevant for me, I'm really pleased to see manufacturers focusing increasingly on pre-grouping designs, surely the best period possible to model with such variety. I'm still not holding out much hope on anything NSR any time soon though!
Re: New loco
An NSR new L might be in with an outside chance, but I wouldn't hold your breath!!!

Re: New loco
That would indeed be most likely, although less so since the NRM de-accessioned it I reckon. Also if they take their scanning equipment to Foxfield I don't think folk will be very happy as it's got the wrong boiler plonked on top as I recall! Ah well, I suppose I'd be more annoyed if something was announced just after I finished scratchbuilding one!D605Eagle wrote:An NSR new L might be in with an outside chance, but I wouldn't hold your breath!!!
