To be honest, I very much doubt it was for that reason, as the interior tooling on Bachman’s 150 is wrong for most of their own recent releases. They really should have tooled new interiors when they did the tweaks to the bodies for the disabled toilet window alterations (especially so when you consider the high price tag these units have!)

I think you are right. It’s such a shame they didn’t tool up the different interiors as the actual model itself is very good and stands up well considering the model is quite old now. 
 

The price is very high for these which is probably why there are some liveries such as the Arriva trains wales version that is still available from many retailers. 
 

I guess it could be possible with 3D printers to maybe produce your own interior that is more correct, however I currently don’t have that level of modelling skill 😂

Perhaps worth you dropping FK3D an email as they specialise in doing coach interior items (no connection).

Have a look at Rainbow Railways if you are after a Wessex 150.  They’ve just released one.

 

Here's the link:

Rich is right. I believe if there is sufficient interest then they will produce another batch.

 

This one is finished as 150 233 'The Lady Margaret of Looe Valley'. Always a favourite.

 

I have Wessex Trains poster for the Looe Valley Line which I purchased off a small stall at Looe Station run by the Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership many years ago.

 

It has a Class 150 in this livery at Terras Crossing. A lovely spot. 

 

It's now framed and pride of place in the bathroom.

 

Cheers,
