More TR stock, from Andel this time

Post by hussra » Fri May 07, 2010 11:10 am

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?

VERY nice :D (Good to see the GVT 3rd class coach back on the website too after its re-appearance at Stoneleigh!)

Unsurprising, though disappointing that the IP stock is too wide given that RH say their RH Tom Rolt is scale width even on 45mm.

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...)

I think you may find brandbright are cooking up some awsome TR rolling stock ;)

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!
