Change scale, available in 2mm. :-) The bogie coach kit being the only one with the correct hogged frame; all the other kits I've seen in bigger scales are incorrectly straight. Coaches are a delight to build.

Ah, wrong scale again :-).
Two of the three are available in 2mm scale as very good kits.

Going overseas I'd like a Budd RDC 2 or 3 with a DCC sound ship (DC Versions already exist and I'm no electrician). If it had to be RDC1 then the Santa Fe pair in Warbonnet livery.

I'd love to, particularly as Rail Express have already announced all of the planned new diesel & electric models - not that there are that many, with just a class 153 diesel railcar, a re-tooled HST power car, Rudd & Clam wagons, Shark brake van and a couple of sound-equipped diesels (classes 56 &
60) to come on that side of things.The new plans for modellers of the steam era continue the Southern theme with two new locos (one being another re-tooling of a discontinued old-favourite), along with duplication (yawn) of a recently announced new Bachmann loco. There seems to be nothing totally new on steam era rolling stock front, unless I've missed something.
Can't say any of the plans for 2008 generate much enthusiasm north of the Thames, although I suppose I'll have to have one of the 153 railcars.

The worst part will be reading the endless discussions about which particular Southern loco was fitted with what.
You mean apart from the sound-fitted City of Sheffield which *I think* will be the first ever UK RTR sound-equipped steam engine?

Ian J. was talking about RTR. ;-) Of the classes John Turner mentions, Dave Alexander does all three as 4mm kits, the J26 also comes with parts to build a J27 as the two were pretty much identical externally.
The popular North-Eastern classes are the biggest gap in the RTR market and a lot of people wish that the major manufacturers would do them rather than compete to see who can do the most obscure failed diesels.

With an RRP a tad under GBP200.00 they can keep it!

OMG it's started already:

I'd like to see a model of any one of the various Atlantic classes. I know that someone has suggested an L & Y 'N....r Chief', but there were other
4-4-2s that would be worth modelling. Regards, Bill.
There were other pre-grouping railways besides the L&Y???

Of course, there was the L&NWR as well :-)
Well yes, it became part of the greater LNWR. ;-)

NER V, V/09, 4CC or Z would be nice. Even an LNER C9 would make an interesting model. ;-)
That was going to be my suggestion. I always thought it was a nice looking machine. Completely inappropriate for my layout, but what the heck...

The only time I saw it was on Crewe Diesel depot, so would it really be so inappropriate?
