The annual Wishlist Poll for new N and/or 00 models has started today. The purpose of The Poll is to provide an easy way for modellers and collectors to tell the major manufacturers and commissioners of ready-to-run railway models what they would like to see made from new tooling (excluding models announced, tooled or made since 2000).
There are plenty of Southern Railway / Southern Region related items to vote for, hint hint. In 00 gauge in the past items including the recently announced by Hornby, for 2017, H class tank along with previous Southern related models such as the the Air-Smoothed Merchant Navy, S15 and Adams Radial tanks that were all in the Top 50 of previous polls and have now been either announced (or delivered).
There are 20 categories covering steam locos of the Big Four and BR; Diesel & Electric Locos; DMUs; EMUs; Coaches; Non-passenger-carrying Coaching Stock; Freight Stock; General Service Stock; Standard Gauge Industrial Locos; and finally London Underground.
The poll will be running from today, 10th October, until the 29th October; and the direct link to the poll is here. Full details can be found on MREmag or RMweb.
Lets hope that by voting Southern we can continue the great expansion in Southern related models being produced in the future!
