Bachmann's announcements yesterday (13th) were significant in one respect, although it took time to realise its opportunity.
Their forthcoming L & Y 2-4-2T finally allows me to model a complete collection of RTR locos, if I so wish, i.e. one loco chosen from every pre-grouping company represented in each of the areas where my family and I have lived over the years.
If I take into account the nearest station (open or closed) to where I and my family have lived over the years, here are the following possibilities in chronological order:
Moseley (station closed 1941) - Midland Rly
Edge Hill - LNWR
New Brighton - Wirral Rly
Fratton - LBSCR/LSWR joint
Worthing - LBSCR
West Ealing - GWR
Bournemouth Central - LSWR
Cross Gates - NER

If my mum and late relatives are also included:
Bramford - GER
Tivetshall - GER
Hellesdon - M&GN

Of those, I already own a LBSCR Terrier in BR lined black and a ready-made kit-built GER J17 in GER ultramarine blue (a few were painted in that livery for mixed traffic use). The most elusive gap now plugged is a L & Y 2-4-2T, one of which was bought by the Wirral Rly in 1921. In the case of the Midland & Great Northern, I could modify a Bachmann 3F 0-6-0 to one of its versions (LNER J41) by extending its smokebox http://www.modelrail...showtopic=17101

These plans aren't finalised at the moment as they depend on how much storage space all of those will take up in my collections, as well as their affordability in these difficult economic times.
