| The 1949 catalogues list a vast number of locomotives in preparation, or contemplated. This section is eliminated from the early 1950 catalogue, and most of the projects are never catalogued again:
Geoffrey Heighway’s preference towards old pre-grouping locomotives likely stems from the fact he grew up during the pre-grouping era of British railways. Many of these old locomotives were facing the scrap line by 1950. There were many great, colorful steam locomotives back then and they all tend to look as nice as Micromodels.
Some of the models listed in preparation would be easy to adapt. David O’Dowd has some interesting tips on how to re-build existing models into new versions.
