    Here's hoping they've built in sufficient design features to enable an LBSCR variant (different cab, dome, chimney etc) at a later date!

    Any news on the E4?

    A new model company called DJ Models has announced some new models. The models are of:
    LNER J94 in O, OO & N gauges.
    BR Class 17 in N gauge.
    BR Class 23 in N & O gauges.

    Expressions of interest in any of the models can be placed here.

    A statement from the Kernow Model Rail Centre newsletter about their exclusive models from Dapol.

    Edit: Dapol's Statement http://dapol.co.uk/index.php?route=information/news&news_id=62#.Un1D_-Lw_2q

    Can't blame Kernow for cutting out the middle man.

    It would seem the relationship hasn't been best for some time, model rail's USA tank was moved from Dapol (mre's models being kernow in another guise).

    Looking on Bachmann web site I see the pre production models of unrebuilt merchant navy locos in N gauge have arrived at Bachmann HQ. With any luck Bachmann will bring out a oo gauge unrebuilt merchant navy in the near future.

    Would prefer Hornby to do the unrebuilt MN to be honest, as the rebuilt WC really is the dogs and they have both the rebuilt MN and the original WC.

    Either way, i'd put my house on seeing one in the next ten years from either Hornby or Bachmann...

    Surely there must be a bigger market in oo gauge than in n gauge. Why only make an n gauge version for? It's only a matter of up scaling the n gauge model in to oo gauge.

    No it isn't.
    Something's don't scale...
    Like metal thickness, plastic density, motor fittings (and the motor itself), gearing ratios, couplings, print process and resolution even screw size and strength of the styrene foam lining the box it comes with will need to be determined..

    Case in point, try weighing comparable n and oo gauge models of the same class... It ain't half of the other !

    The only thing in common is the cad drawing generated from the original source to begin with...before it's scaled to respective size to begin the design process.

    I certainly wouldn't start by doubling up my n gauge model...

    Don't forget Bachmanns start point for the unrebuilt MN will be the farish model toolings they inherited, supplemented by pictures and/or any drawings are available... You may get away with quite a bit in 'n' gauge put might not pass muster in oo...they don't have anything as a reference in oo, so it would be a start from scratch

    Which is probably why Hornby haven't yet taken up the gauntlet in OO. There are also probably too many detail differences within the class; remember about ten of the class had a horizontal strengthening rib when they were given 'limpet board' casing to save on steel sheeting. There were also subtle differences around the smoke deflectors, the buffer beams, tenders, cabs, safety valves... And that is before going down the road of intitial batch 'widow's peak' or the later cowling. The only series that can really be viewed as 'standard' is the last batch of ten.
