My predictions, based on the release dates of pre 2020 models

OO gauge - we find out the full extent of the Class 40 upgrade

N gauge - additional runs of models including LNER J39, BR 5MT, BR Class 14 and BR Mk1 coaches.

My predictions:

*It's new tooling.

*It's probably in or on its way to the Bachmann warehouse.

Looks like the Bug Boxes in FR Red are due next.

I get the feeling that it's one of two models I heard in a rumour nearly a year ago.

I have no idea if it is or not. But if it is I'm going to buy several.

Is Hattons not meant to be in one of the lower retailer 'tiers' so last in the pecking order for getting a share to sell? not sure if thats changed recently

As far as we can tell it has. For full speculation go to the Tier thread and read the posts made in the last two weeks.

That item is showing as unavailable on Hornby.com as well, perhaps a change of mind by Hornby otherwise it would say sold out on pre-order or something like that.

No, on the Hornby website 'Unavailable' means that the Hornby website has pre-sold its allocation.

The Isle of Wight train pack is showing as in stock at Hornby

Does this reward point thing replace the blanket 10% discount?

Yes, if you joined or renewed after the change. If I understand correctly, if you are currently on the 10% (Collector Club) or 15% (TT:120 Club) discount you'll still get that (plus the standard rate of points) until you renew your membership or it lapses.
