I'd like the Auto Tank and an Auto Coach in Great Western livery.

My wish is for a 4-4-0 DUKEDOG of course! (What else!)
shouldn't be too difficult after the Midland 2F they did a few years back.
Then there is 9017 preserved on the Bluebell line for reference.
Regards

I've voted here for the Blue Pullman. Never saw one in real life but I dreamt about it as a small boy in the local toy shop window. Now I've got 2 sets and would really like another! To be honest, although I'd pay the £300 or so Hornby would have to charge for a super detail set (2 "locos" £150, 5 coaches @£30 each) I'd be quite happy for a gently revamped 60's toy! 5 pole ring field, flush glazing (which the original Tri-ang ones had anyway), handrails, buffers, lights ... all in a box with that wonderful illustration!! Even as a small boy I could tell the illustrated trains had much more detail than the models ... those were the days!

Hornby's programme in recent years has involved nothing more scientific than going through 30-40 years old catalogues and thinking "we'll do that one"! M7, Brit, A3, King Arthur, class 31, 08 ... well Hornby go back again and settle on the B12!

Must admit I'm intrigued by both Hornby and Bachmann's strategies. Whereas Bachmann seem to concentrate on the widespread late Company/post war types (BR Standards and such), Hornby, (when they're not doing Pacifics) do seem more adventurous, but only with classes that (presumably) have worked for them previously. But a B12, to current standards and with boiler variations, would be worth seeing
