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 🤞
