Hi,
I liked the "wish list" article. I suppose a "cut off" point for the "prototype fleet list" was neccessary, but this in itself causes problems.
The GWR 0-6-0 list excluded the Dean Goods, which is available RTR. (I suppose the last one was withdrawn before 1958?)
The LNER section mentioned the "old" Lima J50 0-6-0t, but no other "deleted" older models got a mention. Funnily enough, following this article was the piece on the Tri-ang 3MT, which was on the BR Standard Wish List, but wasn't mentioned...
As Hornby Magazine is mainly a 1948-19?? BR period magazine, how about a list of all the RTR models that have been made, to make it a little smaller, perhaps stick to 2-rail OO British stock, which most people could perhaps find second hand?
That would add things like the Tri-ang 3f 0-6-0 Tender Loco, as well as a few Hornby Dublo 2-rail items, such as the R1 0-6-0t?
OK, I admit an interest in 1950s and 1960s Tri-ang Railways!
