Guest Belgian Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It seems that Bachmann, in the form of its N gauge Graham Farish brand, certainly think that there is a market for an Original 'Merchant Navy'. Since Hornby seem to be steadfastly ignoring the possibility, is it possible that Bachmann will reverse their usual practise of making 2mm versions of their 4mm models and produce an MN in 4mm? Let's hope so! JE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hale Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Given the usual pre-requisites for potential models: 1. Large 2. Express 3. Named 4. Room for DCC sound 5. Large number of variants for flexible production The original Merchant Navy should be at the forefront of Hornby's list moreover the commonality of existing component should make it a shoe-in. However let us hope that Hornby address the need for an S15 and 700 before the MN. Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
