Well there probably are, but they're busy doing CNC conversions.... -----Original Message----- From: modeleng-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:modeleng-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Houston Sent: 10 January 2013 13:25 To: modeleng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [modeleng] Re: Gossip The key problem is that nearly all the previous "Loco Designers" (inc LBSC) - eg the Evanses, Young, etc - are either in the Workshop Above or too old to contemplate another new design. Is there no-one out there, preferably below 60 years old, capable of emulating Martin Evans', Don Young's, etc, loco design, drawing and writing skills ? Is there no-one like George Thomas, "Tubal Cain", "Duplex" still alive ?
