In my case the demand is already there. I have six Bachmann 37s, but would have many more if they had been produced without the glaring errors like the cantrail trough, undersized cab windows etc. I haven’t got the time to rebuild every model I buy, hence only six. If someone produces a quality unrefurbished 37 to the same sort of standard as SLW’s 24 then my savings are in for a severe bashing.
When Bachmann announced D6984 (green, skirts) I was intending to buy 3 or 4 and renumber them and fit etched cab windows. When I saw one in the flesh I just couldn’t bring myself to buy even 1, that’s how bad it is to my eyes.
