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

andel dimensions are correct IP are too wide!

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

this is true. the RH model is a copy of geoff mundays loco...minus some of the detail

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!

some very nice stuff on there, I also like the 4 compartment coach.
