On a personal basis no interest at all, although it's an attractive prototype - I'd buy - 0
I'd carry in in the shop, but in *very* limited numbers.

I wonder how well it would convert into a L&Y Barton-Wright ... it looks about right no pun intended.
Wasn't this the one with the firebox glow? I fancied one at the time it came out but was put off after hearing it tended to fall off the track 'just like the prototype' (not my comment)
Assuming its been updated... I'd buy 4 or 5. When you model BR(S) in Devon you need as many as you can get ;)
Yes John it would have to be updated to todays standard we have to go forward not back!!!
All the best Steve
No, many of the Triang steam loco's had that (certainly the A3 had it), what the M7 had that IIRC was unique was an opening smoke box door.
I'd have two. Could just about get away with that.

But would it still have an opening smokebox door and a glowing (Flickering?) firebox? I seem to remember that when the door was opened, you could see the blast pipe and various bits of plumbing. Those were the features which persuaded me to have one on a London Midland region layout, but then I always was a sucker for an entertaining gimmick. Dave W.
Sorry - none for me.
Express passenger when new, as well.
