I notice this a phenomena on many threads in here, Hornby and Dapols areas. There is this belief that some manufacturers products will be better than others regardless of physical (or lack of) evidence. This Bachmann 47 is superb and a real game changer for the hobby. It's a model that can be seen and bought in the shops by the masses unlike an SLW product for example, the Accurascale 37 is many moons away so surely cannot be used as a yardstick to measure the Bachmann 47 against?
Now I'm not saying Accurascale are anything like the likes of DJM but until I can hold one in my hand it's just promises.
