Will models (irrespective of Hornby or Bachmann) purchased for the underlying reason they will be worth real money in 40 years time ?
Not really if people hoard them en masse.
There will be far too many on the market. Yes, Ltd editions will fetch money but not in the way 40 Y.O. + models are today.
40 years ago most of us played with our models (& in my case anyway) often to the point of destruction thereby increasing the value of the ones that were looked after.
If we had all kept our Dinky & Matchbox vehicles prestine what price would they fetch now ?
As to the original question Bachmann, unless one of them should go under in which case it will be the models from the defunct company.
