That could easily be scaled up and appear in any quarterly update from Bachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 are definitely showing their age. Not sure why you would think the 28xx though. That was redone, along with the 2884 for the first time, around the same time as the new Castle 2010-2011ish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDG Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If we're suggesting stuff..... (probably mentioned these before, but its been a while.) IHA bogie steel carrier, at least 2 different diagrams, a couple of liveries. MLA bogie ballast carrier in yellow and red. KWA Warwell. I know Hattons and Oxford have attempted them, but they're not very good, and out of stock now. Hattons had ho scale bogies and lacked the widened decks. All 3 wagons would sell in multiples. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to find a video of falcons on youtube which are not mixed with MLA’s… a real must for most modellers depicting the last 15 or so years. I have mentioned it (once or twice haha) to the guys on the AC stands at the last few shows in person and I got a (fairly) positive response. As they say anything yellow is pretty much a Gold mine these days! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MXAs are similar in this regard, they are all over the place although they do tend to be in rakes more than mixed in with MLA, JNA and MCA/MOAs. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm by no means saying that some modellers wouldn't welcome them with open arms (me in particular), but from a business perspective, it probably isn't the most viable proposition.

A fair point, and one I hadn’t thought of, but if thats the outlook of those who aren’t rivet counters - if timed to release when no falcons are available or sitting on shelves - would the reaction not be the same in that case and they would buy it simply because it is yellow?
