King Pot Noodle (as he is known) is introducing an N-gauge model of a North British Class 22 diesel-hydraulic. These short-lived locomotives are one of the few classes never represented in kit form in N. For a layout set in the West of England between 1958 and 1972, they’re pretty much essential. Slightly before my chosen period for British-outline modelling, but they’re part of my childhood (I was 11 years old when they last ones were withdrawn), so I’d be prepared to turn the clock back for the occasional operating session to justify running one.
I have to say I’m not terribly impressed by pictures of this model; the shape of the cab doesn’t seem right, with the slope of the windows at a bit too much of an angle. I’ll reserve final judgement until I see one in the flesh at the Warley show in two weeks time.
I’m not sure, but I think it’s inside out…
I’ve got it now. It’s a festive novelty, something along the lines of a Cadbury’s Mini Roll but covered with blue & yellow marzipan.
Just add candles for a party your child will never forget
Yes, I think you’ve correctly identified it!
When Fat Belly Jones asks me at Warley what I think, I shall have to ask him whether he wants the polite diplomatic answer, or the brutally honest one…..
Its awful dont do it.
