Your 'Toy Fair' wish list...

In message , Jerry writes

I'd like the stuff promised by Bachmann to be delivered. Soon.

Mmm. A RTR Quad-Art set would save an awful lot of work (all those fiddly windows to glaze), and would look fine behind your L1, an N2 or Brush Type 2!

Cheers, Francis K.

Are we talking wishful thinking', or likely possibility...?

For me, in the 'wishful thinking' category, I'd have a LSWR 700 class black motor, or an Adams Radial...

In the likely possibility category I'd have a LSWR T9, or an LSWR O2

Methinks there is an LSWR leaning in my choices... ;)

Having waited an absolute age for the Fairburn, which, if I recall was supposed to be released about this time last year, I would say that patience is a virtue, and models from bachmann may well be worth waiting for. But, realistic due dates would be really nice!

A selection of low power freight & mixed traffic locos of types that survived until at least the 1950's,

e.g.LMSR ex- L&YR Aspinall 0-6-0, ex-MR Class 2F or 3F 0-6-0 ex-LNWR 0-6-0 or 0-6-2T

LNER Classes J10, J11 or J6. 0-6-0 Class N5 0-6-2T Class C13 or C14 4-4-2T Class A5 4-6-2T

Being 'O' gauge I am slightly divorced from proceedings but any pregrouping loco will have to survive well into BR days to match with the available coaches and wagons.

For example:

ex LNWR - Super D 0-8-0 (as preserved by Pete Waterman); perhaps a reboilered Claughton now that LMS coaches are available (I think there was just an overlap)

ex GCR - ROD 2-8-0 suitable also for a certain other railway

ex LSWR - superheated T9. Everybody will buy this loco because it is so, so pretty with the con rods just peeping out from beneath the splashers. (You can tell my favourite loco, I've three of them in 'O' gauge).

I'm sure there was a poll a few years back in one of the mags when the top two locos were the ROD then the T9.

Any one of those would be more than welcome there. Well, actually ALL of them would be welcome here :)

Tenders sold seperatetly for LNWR ?

Yes, I'll buy a Super D, but I won't touch a Claughton with a barge-pole.

I'll have one as long as the model is thoroughly Swindonized

Except me

I could be wrong, but I thought the Fairburn was newly announced at the beginning of 2006? Whenever, it was certainly worth waiting for!

I'd love a BR(NER) G5 0-4-4T from Hornby to the same standard as their M7.

I'd be more willing to stock the ex-Joueff SNCF is there was sufficient demand from my customers.

Erm, In actual fact, The NRM preserved it many years ago and failed to look after it by farming it out in the open to the Iron Bridge Museum. Pete Waterman just funded the restoration of it at his own workshops in Crewe (LNWR).

None the less, it is still a fantastic loco to see and hear and I had a great time working on it at the CVR - Sadly, it's first passenger train was infact a funeral service for one of our much loved volunteers !

You could sell me pre-SNCF stock from Jouef!

Thanks Greg, but I don't think one enquiry would justify stocking the Joueff range. ;-)

John.

Don't panic, Jouef only ever (to the best of my knowledge) made a few of their coaches in pre SNCF liveries, in spite of having numerous models which could have been produced in their original liveries - a bit like Tri-ang-Hornby until they (slowly) opened the floodgates with their "Lord of Isles" model. If Hornby ever spots the market opportunity with their French range I'll come asking! Any chance of finding me one of the Electrotren DRG 2 axle post wagons?

or, if you narrowed the time-scale a little, a Baby Deltic, NBL, BRCW and Sulzer Type 2s and possibly even a BTH Type 1.

Doesn't DJH do one?
