I don't know how large the UK N market is. It must have taken a big hit with the hiatus between Graham-Farish and Bachmann-Farish. I have a suspicion the lack of competition at the time would have been a factor. So it is essential in my opinion that Dapol and Peco increase their involvement in the scale.
Farish always will I suppose be the market leader so hopefully the programme of improvements goes on and accelerates. Speed of development seems the biggest problem shared with its 00 sister. That gives the others a bit of a leg-up if both have designs on the same model.
Dapol judging by their 2008 catalogue are developing apace so let's hope they continue to prosper and provide meaningful competition. I wonder what their alliance with Ixion will bring?
Peco's new Collett has been well received if a little pricey so hopefully it won't be their last. Their wagon range is reasonable too. They aren't as backward as some people imagine!
