Will Roundhouse be releasing a new loco at the show this year? Any clues as to what it could be?

Apparently they might be releasing a tallylyn loco to mark the anniversary

A thread has already been opened and a vast variety of loco's suggested - unfortunately we don't find out until the morning of the AGM! :x

I heard they are thinking of making a traction engine.

You have probably not fully read their kits advert in the National Garden Railway Show guide then.

New for 2015 - 'George', with or without tender.

The "George" tender is on the main RH website.

Indeed it is, although actually listed as 'Four wheeled tender kit as George'. I was just quoting the misleading text from their advert on Page 6 of the Show Guide.

It is the 'George' locomotive kit that is new for 2015.

I still don't understand why Roundhouse insists on making locomotives that are really obscure... Karen for example. Why couldn't they make Gelert instead? Much better looking is a more well known engine (plus the L&B have twin Isaac now). I admit that the Alco is an excellent choice due to all the WD stuff around, and even Beddgelert is warming to me now.
Couldn't they bring back Ffesty Linda? I'm sure people would go mad over it and its simply a new body for Charles (they still make the tender).
A Talyllyn engine would be nice (bets on number 4 because it would be easier to make with outside Hackworth) but I suspect wouldn't last long, like Tom Rolt
