Warbonnet Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi everyone, So, we have been a bit quiet recently, right? Well, that's all about to change throughout 2022, with several new announcements coming your way this year. It kicks off tomorrow, with an all new announcement. This is new tooling, not a bus, and is not powered. That's all the clues you're getting! So, make sure you keep an eye out for this new announcement tomorrow at 1pm! In the meantime, feel free to place your guesses below! Cheers! Fran 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connollystn Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 My guess is the Crossley engined C class - they were effectively non-powered for the first 15 years of their existence. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorPan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I'm going to guess its a coach of some kind, maybe a Park Royal or Laiminate. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meathdane Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I've a few on the wish list, A RTR beet/double beet wagon definitely top of the list, running from steam until 121/071/141 operations, huge lifespans on them! Next are the 20' flats, modularity and loads, relatively modern, and a great base for kit bashing up prototypes and one off wagons 'H' vans are up there too, again, well traveled and scope for different liveries. Cattle wagons, not particularly an Irish railway without them, they were the reasons some lines stayed open as long as they did! Tankers because, well, tankers! Lots of use for Irish depots and an easy goal because of the existing 'A' and 'B' tank wagons on the market! Lots more, but Irish Freight is more interesting to me than coaching stock! (outside of 6 wheelers!) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) I don't think you need a PhD to work this one out. Now I can get with building my own model railway! Edited February 2 by leslie10646 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 My money is on Ammonia wagons and Mk4, perhaps even a 22k yoyo. Personally I've now got enough Park Royals and Laminates, made enough of my own over the past 4 years from kits and kit bashing. Will check with interest tomorrow evening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
