DJ Models have been doing some polling recently to see if there was sufficient interest in an all new OO gauge class 86 or 87. It has come to his attention that there are two other manufacturers that are already well advanced with both models so he has opted to go for the class 92 instead. AC locos have been left out during the last few years except the excellent Bachmann class 85 so this is welcome news for fans of the Sparkys.
Footage I took at Bromley South station in 1999: two class 92s travel through light engine, running on third rail at 0.57 seconds. https://youtu.be/oedlJf2J_oI I also have a video of my modified Hornby 92, fitted with a slightly modified Hornby class 60 chassis (it was later fitted with Howes' sound, but I'm looking for the video I took of that).
