What loco should Roundhouse/Accucraft do next?

I'd like to see a Kerr stuart tattoo.

I don't mind who does it. Roundhouse put more detail in, but Accucraft make them cheaper.

I'd like to see that. A Quarry Hunslet would be awesome too! It would be one of the manufacturers smallest locos lol!

Ye, I think that they only produce large locos because it is easier and cheaper like this, should they decide to build a Tattoo or Quarry Hunslet both small locos with comparitively low pulling power, due to build complexity would have quite a high price tag.

Personally I want to see Roundhouse do a nice England loco, Palmerston for me please

Because DJB ones are very expensive as they're hand built by one man, failing that you have to machine the castings yourself, neither are they as simple to run as a Roundhouse loco. Why did roundhouse make an L&B loco or a Linda?????

Linda? Is that the Tender hunslet in use at Portmadoc?

Roundhouse already do them
