In addition it appears their used prices have also been reduced further as well. Its 1 year since this post set the thread on fire. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess what's key is who actually owns the design..... Ultimately TFL will given how protective they are about copyright of their brand. GBRF would not be able to authorise the tube map, nor LU logo, (nor potentially Johnston typeface??!) in a commercial model, only TFL (or possibly LT Museum) would. I just hope Hattons consider this for the future, or at least 721 in its current condition but with name. It is a fantastic livery and I regret not picking up a Bachmann model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotating axleboxes are easier to do if no sideplay is needed - such as in a 2-axle bogie. A longer wheel base 3-axle needs at least some sideplay on the middle axle, and probably made worse (i.e. more sideplay) with a design brief to make it work around very sharp curves. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 And what if Hattons aren't doing anymore under their name? Apart from the OO gauge coaches and the cranes to come everything else is in the bargain list now, what if they are reconsidering how they manufacture stuff to regain Bachmann now they are also on Hornby's naughty step. Just musing out loud here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just musing out loud here. EFE? I do wonder though, but in fairness just because stuff is discounted it doesn't mean it is a disaster, especially given that it is direct to market. As an example, I think them 66s at £120 were still making them money simply because they are dealer and manufacturer rather than having an extra layer of margin. It would be a shame if they do pull out of "manufacturer" status, everything I have bought from them (which is just FEAs and 66s) are good. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
