Hornby have had one for a while, I've got it, though hopefully they will remake one thats not a body on a generic chassis

New tooling, so accurate. It took quite a while for Hornby to take this on board, the J50 was the first accurate 0-6-0T they tooled, and this must be only the third, with the Terrier the second.

Release imminent it would appear. I am in for a couple, it's a very useful loco on two counts:
A GNR/LNER/BR(ER) staple;
And (I'll stand to be corrected if I am wrong)
The first time that an 0-6-0 mechanism with the LNWR Ramsbottom wheelbase has been produced for RTR OO NOT under a GWR loco body. There may yet be the miracle of an LNWR 0-6-0 or 0-6-0T...
