With Hejan having a seemingly successful prototype modelled, I've been thinking, (Yes it did hurt) what is the smallest class size and shortest lived class to have been produced RTR and therefore what may be considered in the future?

The smallest RTR diesel I can think of off the top of my head would be Hornbys class 29 with only 20 being built and as far as I know 2 liveries worn. I like these locos and have one on my layout so I think I would go for a "Bells & Whistles" versoin if anyone was to produce a new one.

On the steam front I can't think of a smaller class having been produced than the Princess Royals with only 12 (not counting the Turbomotive) though this class has the benifit of long service, toplink duties and a wealth of liveries.

Hi Britho, speaking of electrics the "Badger" seems to have a bit of a cult following could be done in the same way Falcon has. Though there's only two liveries this time unless you count some of those done by the custodians on Fictitious Liveries.

For those of you that haven't seen it yet this site is great, full of what might have beens.
