Currently speaking to DLR Dan on Skype and he asked "I wonder how long it'll be before the Roundhouse 2015 topic appears on the Forum"

The answer is approx 5 minutes...

So! With it being a big Talyllyn year next year I think it'll be something along those lines...

either talyllyn, or dolgoch, or both

Question is: Whether 16mm or 7/8" :-=?

Unlikely to be Talyllyn, they've done the most suitable for them, but unfortunately not the most popular loco in Tom Rolt. A look at the RH museum shows it was in production for a very short time relatively speaking. Talyllyn and Dolgoch quite small - not really Roundhouse territory. I hope they don't do them for the same reason I hope they don't do an England Loco. Its unlikely it would be to scale.

Just because I asked it was not a hint to start one.......

An England in 16mm would be like a Mamod in a way and full of charm. Why not try hard for something. Or a Double Fairlie would be something. I know Taliesin was close but the engineering design would be quite an achievement. Go for gold I say.

I think they should do a traction engine.

I think the double fairlie has been looked at but vetoed.
Anything rye and camber or Southwold would give me serious pains in the wallet.

Another basic loco please, preferably regaugable! :D

I'd like to see Dylan revived, that was one lovely looking loco in its own right and would also be an ideal candidate for a 7/8ths conversion

.................. and chassis and mechanicals-wise it could be built on a Lady Anne / Silver Lady chassis, as was the original.

Personally, even though it is still a small loco, I reckon they could do a Sir Haydn on a bertie chassis. Many have been done using such a chassis.

Please please please lets have a sharpie so that someone can buy it and then sell it second hand so I can buy it! (or camber sands tramway)

I can never understand the logic Roundhouse use to pick locos so I won't even bother guessing this year.
What I don't understand is why they have siad no more Stanleys or Jacks when these are locos that also seemed to be wanted by people yet they still keep making Lady Anne.
I would like to see them bring back the Figi Flowler or another colonial loco.

There´s a coincidence- I was just thinking about "why don´t they rerun Linda?". I´ve been kicking myself for not buying one ever since she went out of production.

seems everybody is after one !

How about a WD Hunslet folks? Aside from the Baldwin 2-6-2's, it basically gives you all the bigger WD loco's!!
