Class 319 Northern - Any chance these can me manufactured in OO?

I hope Bachmann don't announce a 319 too soon: I have just lashed out a lot of moolah to buy the Bratchell Thameslink version!

Quite so - why on earth no-one has yet produced a 4SUB, probably the unit with the greatest time and geographical span of all (bar the EPB maybe), continues to amaze me.

 

I wish you well in your quest for a RTR 319!

A little birdie has whispered things about a Southern unit. It wouldn't be fair on them for me to spill any beans though. A blue SUB could operate alongside EPBs and 508s, evidence for this is the 1983 Waterloo documentary where there is a montage of both types running together. 

 

As to a 319 they've certainly become 'the train we came here on' which always gets the public at shows so they're likely to be good sellers. Maybe Hornby or Bachmann have done a bit of research and put it in the 'to do' list. I did mention the class 74 to KR Models at Warley and he said never say never. Or words to that effect. Apparently the next four years is going to bring good things from them and Accurascale so definitely exciting times.

if its a good seller, in N then they will enlarge it, if its in the bargain bin not long after launch, don't count on a OO version.

 

Im sure some one could do a 3d model of one to 3d print, and a 325 while there at it as the chassis is basically the same.
