discussion WHAT TRAIN MODEL

[Guest]

Hello Train guys,


an open question to you all which train model would be the most popular one to build,


and where would I be able to get some good drawings in order to have a go at a scratch build of the most popular train ?


regards Barrie ( the old guy )

Have you heard of the leader class locomotive.


If you google leader class you will see its something completely different

Well don't know if they make it in any scale but a superb flying Scotsman would be nice or even a detailed Stevensons "Rocket"

For me, any steamer, from the earliest spidery ones (with shoebox carriages) and later. Does it have to be a railway train? How about a beam engine?

Hi Robert well I have done a rocket in a big scale here are some images


regards Barrie the flying Scotsman would seem to be a good one I will wait a few days and see what else members think might be a good one.

Why not build a diesel or electric multiple unit from DC Kits instead of a wheeled kettle?

The wheeled kettle was my first scratch build of a train that why I went with the first practical train I may take a lok at the diesels in a while thanks for the tip.

Have a look here flying Scotsman plans

 

[Ian M]

My vote goes to the flying Scotsman

If You want to make a popular model - I think You should create 3D model, then make serial casting and sell it.

How about the newly built Tornado which ran as a normal passenger train on 14/02/2017 it had a mix of old style tender and carriage joined with a modern set of the current carriages in use plenty of scope there for variation
