  1. They certainly were widespread in operation but my limited scope was referring to you can have lined black early crest or lined black later crest. I don't think they even had a plain black in BR Days, and certainly only 1 was green in preservation (as mentioned before). So in that respect a 2nd run would be interesting as they have the risk of people who want one having one and no need for a 2nd, especially if they renumbered to suit their local engine. If they did a 2nd run I would definitely get a 2nd as its a lovely model. Also a 3rd if 80135 was done
  2. Given the classes limited scope for models it is literally just these 2 for the 4MT 2-6-4T, but I still hope they may shrink down the artwork used in OO for 80135 in BR liner Green as preserved on the NYMR - apparently it is the person who donated it to the railway Jos De Crau who stipulated it must always be painted BR Green - would certainly be a one off, perhaps a club model even. I agree with the coaching stock, we have one set each for the main line big 4, what we need now is the secondary stock. Suburban and local train types. N gauge seems to be growing in popularity so time to cash in on that and boost sales further.
  3. As Stefan said the Standard 5's had new numbers added, and of course the sound for all (doubt the Fairburn will get sound). However samples shown means nothing, Bachmann will have samples now for stuff due in the May or even August announcement but they have not shown them. Who is to say they are not keeping those samples hidden away and only showing what is announced at shows
  4. My guess is there will be extras, every model so far seems to have had new running numbers or livery variations land with the previously announced batch, just a cae of duplicate liveries so 2 numbers of one livery, or a new livery to the production batch

    Dapol N Gauge 63xx

    Not seen anything yet but with Alexandra Palace show coming up I would not be surprised if they showed them off there.
  6. Thanks, I had not thought of that. Doesn't seem to be a shortage of outers at present
  7. I hope you are right, only reason I ask is given some shops crashed their prices to around 50% off it doesn't usually bode well to me for something to get a 2nd run when cut by that much to clear, but we can live in hope
  8. Hi Adam What is the chances of a 2nd run happening? I am starting to build up a train but the centre hoppers in original Yeoman are becoming scarce. Wondering if I should start a train knowing a new run will help me complete it or will I have to resort to ebay "bargains"
  9. 319 as well, to be fair i did say most not all 😁
  10. Realistically it is unlikely as Hornby produce them in OO so they are not going to be come part of the OO range and thus share research costs etc. I could be proved wrong but most models are in both ranges so clearly they see the benefit of sharing the costs out
  11. I think you need to get your priorities right here 😅 Good luck with the house move
  12. Whilst not a lot after a bumper 2023 I think the big thing to take from this is the Twins, they represent a significant investment in tooling that presents a limited return - how many people here will buy more than 2? My Dad is suggesting getting one each between us, so we won't be rushing for a 2nd pair even in on the other colour. Yes they could have chosen a more numerous type a new 37 perhaps with sound etc. but we have seen an investment into a limited appeal model that is usually the domain of OO models. I think we can safely say all this talk of Bachmann not investing into N gauge is untrue now as the last few announcements have shown otherwise. Yes there is still gaps - I need some more Mk2 or Mk2A TSO's, a 37/4 in intercity, OTA Timber wagons amongst others, but I am happy to see the twins as part of the range. Now if there is a market for them perhaps the designers could look at those SDJR 7F 2-8-0 drawings they used for the OO one and put it through the shrink ray 🤞
  13. 59104 was trialled by BR on freight workings over Shap, could always rewrite history and say it was a national power one and they went further north
  14. If its any comfort they won't do D6700/37350 this quarter. I have a 37 put to one side to head off for conversion as 37350 in 80's token green repaint. Will be the quarter after that it comes 😅
  15. Paint would be mixed locally at the time of use, so a different person on a different day in a different works would make the blue for one loco over possibly the other. Then if you factor in time since repaint and the effects of wind, rain and sun no 2 locos would appear the same at any time. To me the 2nd one looks more ex-works than the 1st but both look close to BR blue to me
