Im in the process of choosing stock for my modern image layout. Is it worth buying EWS or shall I just buy the new Bachmann 66 and Hornby 60 in DB colours?

Also what about freight, are they going to respray those aswell. If they are am I safe buying Bachmann intermodal flats?

Just to make the situation worse Tom WNXX.com has news that 67010 is heading if not already arrived and is to be repainted at Toton. So if you have any plans to get the 67's then I would hold off until we see what IT comes out like as well.

Apparently its going to be a gradual repaint , so EWS colours could be around for a long time yet. Not sure about the 60s as DB have stated they are surplus to current requirements and are to be stored. 37s similarly being withdrawn, so I suspect DB colours will only be on 59,66,67 and perhaps 90,92. Not forgetting 08 shunters!
