But with the bachman releases looming will anyone be bothered ?

That all depends on what bachman put out I must admit that heljan were quite industrious with the many liveries they produced and I doubt bachman will match them but there are many modellers out there capable of producing these liveries so I'm sure bachman models will appear in all the privatisation liveries eventually Personally i can't wait for the bachman 47163 to come out although it's probably a year away

And aren't you assuming that the manufacturers know why themselves
