Feedback for MR243’S Present Your Case – the BR Class 11.

-

Thanks to all those who contribute­d – to join the fun, go to www.facebook.com/modelrail Having BR 12099 doing its duties on the SVR, I wouldn’t mind a ‘OO’ gauge version for my layout. Gareth Wagons Price We are already well catered for in the shunter dept with 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 and 08, so do we really need another variant of the 08? I don’t think so. I’d rather have an 02. Stuart Moore I fully support Richard’s case. I have two renumbered Bachmann Class 08s masqueradi­ng as 11s on my layout, but would far prefer accurate models. Also, it would allow pre-nationalis­ation fans a chance to run a diesel legitimate­ly. Mark Dearman Can’t think what I’d rather have, but it just seems a duplicatio­n… I know it’s not, but that’s how it would seem to the majority, not the smaller groups who know these machines intimately. Andy Sollis Actually, I’m surprised nobody has done this even as a kit, which is probably more where it belongs, rather than a RTR. There I think it would do well, especially in ‘O’ and ‘OO’. Their greatest disadvanta­ge, of course, was they weren’t fitted with train brakes until after they were sold by BR (to my knowledge, at least). LMS, WD (in various liveries) BR black, green and blue, industrial liveries to go at and, of course, several survive. Oh, and they were quite widespread in use too. Martin Wood
