UK-outline plastic locos?

It occurred to me when glancing at the Coffe Lounge one day that you UK guys are not well supplied with cheap, plastic steam engines. Where is the cheap plastic equivalent of Roundhouse Eng?
Here in the US we have Bachmann, USAT, and a lot of old Aristocraft locomotives to choose from. Even our narrow gauge is well supplied, with everything from the Bachmann Fn3 Spectrum locos to the humble 4-6-0s, the Aristo 2-8-0, and similar.
 
Not a lot - most of the UK outline has come from either the steam makers like Roundhouse (as you say) and Accucraft, which are inevitably expensive, or from small cottage industry suppliers in kit form.

Even if we go to Gauge 1 (which over here is 1:32) there are no cheap plastic offerings, or even expensive plastic offerings come to that :nerd:
