Roundhouse 2014
Roundhouse 2014
Will Roundhouse produce an engine everyone wants?
To be honest, I was a little disappointed with their choice of "Karen". Surely "Gelert" was a much better choice?
Also, judging by the fact that they seem to be doing models of engines that are awaiting rebuilds, would the next one follow the trend?
Commence speculation!

I think it is about time they can Lady Anne as although a proven well running loco her freelance looks are a bit dated and it doesn't look much like any existing loco, plus there are so many good second hand versions available at reasonable prices.
I'd like them to make a 15mm scale Southwold or Irish loco.

Roundhouse 2014
I'm sure they would do a good job of a Moel Tryfan/Snowdon Ranger, ...... they have the technology, and some of the std parts.
As long as it's not a Kerr Stewart Wren, please please Roundhouse don't make one of these as I can't afford it.steamie1:95441 wrote:I agree a small Saddle tank please

I think that might be just a little too small and fiddly for them - plus they're not as easy to steam and operate as their normal fare so they might not want to do it, because it wouldn't operate the same.WVLR:95443 wrote:As long as it's not a Kerr Stewart Wren, please please Roundhouse don't make one of these as I can't afford it.
Personally I'd like to a Kerr Stuart skylark. I found one here:

It's a little 0-4-2, very cute! I can image it could be made to Millie proportions ok, it just means that the running gear would need to be condensed a little.

Yes, I think one of those would go down really well - very attractive, and big, but not too big...paullad1984:95515 wrote:Im hoping for something nice, who knows perhaps a SAR 4-4-0 "Lawley", lol
I reckon a NWNGR Fairlie's a possibility too, but either that or an FR England (reckon those would go like hot cakes) would be horribly tempting and cause me serious financial problems! Be careful what you wish for...
Cheers,
Andrew

I hope for one that Roundhouse don't make an England Engine, unless they consider making it to scale, and that means 32mm gauge only.
