Hi, I thought I would share a couple of pics of my kit built B17 streamliner as Hornby have announced they will be producing it. It will be better than this but they may not do the late version with missing side valencing. Also pictured are B2 (modified RTR), J69, E4 and F5 from very old kits plus a resin kit Hunslet on a Flieschmann chassis and the RTR J70 and B12.

Would either Bachmann or Hornby be able to use an existing Chassis block for the K2? Not sure of the wheelbase compared to K3 or K1.

Useful info, thanks. Gives me food for thought for future conversions or kitbashes.
Talking of which, Hornby should do this version of Claud....

Heh Heh, 'rain dance' ;o) I know what you mean, my list of superceded kits/kitbashes goes something like: DP1, DP2, 10202, Falcon, Lion, TOPS cl 21, 23, 26, 27, 30 for diesels not including early shunters, and J15, J50, J70, B17s various, B12, Y7, D16. A lot of similarities in our stock...
Now when I think I might model something really obscure like D2999 or one of the two experimental EE shunters D0226/7 I have it in the back of my mind 'do I bother, someone will bring it out if I do it'.
I would not be surprised if the N2 gets a modern update, maybe even the J52, after all Hornby re-did the Terrier.
