These are model I think should be produced and why, some are single survivor

GWR

4-4-0 Let start with City of Truro - no explanation required, I'd buy one,
suitable for GWR, BR and preserved lines.

I've heard that this MIGHT be the next model commissioned by the NRM.


2-8-0T Quite a few preserved, and never an RTR model.

SR

02 0-4-4

Very popular on the Isle of Wight, also there is a real one and no-one has
ever done and RTR model.

LNER
Moguls
K1 2005 North York Moors and mainline, can do in apple green
K4 3442 Servern Valley and mainline, can do in apple green

SDJR
7F Two preserved, I think they could be quite popular

BR
Class 14 Only one I can think of with no model current or shortlisted,
with preserved examples
Class 28 Could do with a current model - a very odd loco
Electrics Could do with a early decent AC electric 81 or say 85


Multiple units
GRCW 100 Quite common and never a model
123 & 124 Decent models of both of these Mark1 based DMUs could be
popular, near 123 for Western Region, later on mix and match between both.

Suburban DMUs From 115 to 118, 121, 122, 125, and 127 are all suburban DMUs.
I think they could be done with 4 cab fronts (BR, Pressed Steel, BRCW, GRCW)
three I think power car designs, and three trailers.

eg
116, 117, 118 same power cars with different fronts, 117, 118 same trailers,
115 & 116, 127 same trailers I think, 115 and 127 same power car bodies, not
sure how similar to 116/7/8 they are. 125 DMBS is different to 116/7/8
AFAIR. However a good proportion of BR DMUs could be made from a limited
amount of tools.

Yeah, we definitely need a suburban DMU as there are so many possibilities
and some like the 117 had a very long life.
