I think William's going to like this one, the latest Roundhouse engine, due for release in August is a model of the Ffestniog single Fairlie Taliesin

. Having developed the power bogie, I'm seriously hoping that next years ofering is a double Fairlie!!!

It would be really good if they did an Earl of Merioneth version

A very nice looking loco, at least in CAD.

But a price tag of £1523.40 is too much for me to justify at present.

Hope you can get the money quickly, SB. Any ideas for colour yet?

That looks like a good engine. How come their not releasing it at the national show this weekend like they ushally do with new models?

I love that! Brilliant! I like, but I dont think the MHLR need's one ATM, we need something like a 'Monarch'. And I like the Lawley. I'm gunna get that IP Jack on saturday for £100, so don't buy before me!

Studying the figures, has left me in the position to say that I hope Roundhouse don't discontinue it to soon, I think that I'll lay off getting one for a while. I'm going to try and get a early meths, slip-eccentric roundhouse loco next

I realy like the old Roundhouses!

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 12:44 pm

Yeah, so do I. I like the old Lady Ann with a tender that ptlrcecil has recently bought.

MuzTrem · Post by **MuzTrem** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 3:08 pm

Yeah, I'd really like a Victoria or an early Lady Anne...anyone any idea how much they typically sell for these days?

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 3:18 pm

Best asking one of the older members who were around back then. ptlrcecil's dad is a good person to ask.

laalratty · Post by **laalratty** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 4:07 pm

A Victoria would be really expensive cos there wern't that many made, as for an old Lady Anne or Dylan, £500-£1000 seems about right

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 4:14 pm

I was watching a Victoria run at Stoneleigh, very nice.

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 5:21 pm

Yeah, they only produced them for 2 years, before they were replaced by the Lady Ann's and newer engines.
