I noticed the GNoSR box van in the next years release list and hope it is a different version to the one already available from me at Port Wynnstay, also in resin, could split an already small specialist market to no-ones benefit.

Nice to see some more Scottish wagons though, it will probably stimulate more modellers to have a go, definitely to the benefit of both of us.

I quite agree. The market is too small for every-one of us to do the same prototypes. Although I have noticed some manufactures, naming no names, advertising that they are shortly going to produce wagons that other people already have out on the market.

I have been asked on number of occasions if we are going to do a wagon that other manufacturers were producing or I knew they were about to and I've past their details over. Some might say that it's not good business but this is supposed to be a hobby, not city trading.

I think I'm right in saying that you did the later longer box van that ran on a steel under-frame? The one we are looking at doing is the earlier shorter version being 16ft long, 10ft wheel base that ran on a wooden under-frame which is the same as our GNoSR Cattle van.
