No brainer really...
The current Roundhouse price list has the BT1 boiler kit priced at ~GBP282.
Remembering that the kit includes a burner at ~GBP37 and a gas tank with gas valve at ~GBP83, the RH offering looks quite competitive.
Assuming of course that one of the available RH boilers has the dome bush where you actually need it..........

Only if you want a 7/8" model of Diana and even then it would be less work to start with a Ragleth power unit, or the cheaper Bertie boiler/chassis.-steves-:114713 wrote:If you had one of these spare it woulndn't take much to modify it a bit
Diana is a Kerr Stuart Sirdar class loco. Tiny things that scale out to about the size of a Mamod SL1 in SM32.

I had no idea it was that small, it would be awesome to have something in that size from Roundhouse looking like thatGTB:114717 wrote:Only if you want a 7/8" model of Diana and even then it would be less work to start with a Ragleth power unit, or the cheaper Bertie boiler/chassis.-steves-:114713 wrote:If you had one of these spare it woulndn't take much to modify it a bit

Roundhouse don't really do small and scale detail rather robust and reliable so I doubt they will do anything small. I sure they could if they wanted to as Regner do for their 45mm only G gauge models.-steves-:114719 wrote:I had no idea it was that small, it would be awesome to have something in that size from Roundhouse looking like that :DGTB:114717 wrote:Only if you want a 7/8" model of Diana and even then it would be less work to start with a Ragleth power unit, or the cheaper Bertie boiler/chassis.-steves-:114713 wrote:If you had one of these spare it woulndn't take much to modify it a bit

I personally have never seen (or at least paid any attention to) any of the Regner stuff in "real life" so to speak, only online. Wouldn't mind seeing them.

Tom Rolt was really toward the small end of what Roundhouse can produce using standard components like burner size and flue size, cylinders, valve gear, etc.
I would expect to see something fairly chunky, outside framed, and likely a tank loco. Snailbeach Railway's Dennis comes to mind as a possibility. Or perhaps something South African such as a Lawley 4-4-0 or NG4 4-6-2T. Maybe its time for another American prototype, perhaps in the shape of one of the the outside framed Forneys of Sandy River and Bridgton and Saco River design. All will be revealed in the fullness of time...

We've just received the dealers press release and no-one is terribly close I'm afraid, but for those of you not at Peterborough I'll be posting pictures at 10am tomorrow morning, as I'm not there either!
I'm afraid we're under strict instructions not to release anything else until then, sorry!

Oh no! You've guessed it in one - but you forgot about the directional lights! Oh wait I think I have read the email wrong...
