O Gauge 071

[thewanderer]

Evening all,

 

At the Wexford show I photographed this O Gauge 071 Class model at the Belfast Model Shop stand. http://smu.gs/IwPebW

 

A Friend of mine is looking for more details on it? Are the BMS selling these now or was it a once off?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

The Wanderer.

Shes a beauty Gareth and a very impressive piece of kit. I remember there was a 201 model in 0 gauge produced years ago by one of the UK 0 gauge kit manufacturers to see if there would be a market for it. There was a pic of it in Railway Modeller with one of the same manufacturers class 59's. I don't think there was enough interest in it so it was never released, and I can't say that I have ever seen a pic of it since.

I would love one of those O gauge 071's if even just to sit above the fire place

I remember an O gauge 071 kit being touted on a website a few years ago... did these models arise out that project?

 

I think Alphagrafix produce a 7mm scale card kit of a 141...

On the old site, we did discuss an 0 Gauge 201 that got as far as a prototype being produced - I'm sure that you will remember who did it before I do...

HK built the 0 gauge kits of the 071s , they were gone before I could move on them. Anyone need more info should talk to Chunk Rail in the Wexford club.

Oh I dunno, £230 for an O gauge kit isn't that bad, throw in around a £100-£120 more for the wheels, motor etc

 

A British Just like the real thing diesel kit would set you back the guts of £450-£500 without motor and wheels.
