More TR stock, from Andel this time
More TR stock, from Andel this time
A TR standard bogie carriage and a shortened 4-compartment one have appeared on Andel's site.
With both IP and Perfect World producing more TR stock, it's a bumper year for Talyllyn modellers. But can we have one of the bogie vans - 10, 16 or 20, next please? And the remaining question is whether they can agree on dimensions and loading gauge?

When No. 7 was finished in 1991 I remember a photo (I think it was in Railway World - remember it?) of it and a set of Tisdales arriving at Brynglas - all looking very uniform and designed to go together.
Presumably IP were expecting the RH 7 to be stretched. (Presumably, too, redesigning to alter the width of an IP laser-cut kit would be rather cheaper than retooling almost any other type of kit. And a narrower, scale width kit would use less plywood, so could be marginally cheaper...)

The AnDel stuff certainly looks great! And it is really sturdy and easy to build. That GVT carriage looks great, is it more expensive than before though?
I was lead to believe that AnDel was not going to design any more new kits for this year so this is a surprise!
