whilst the caley single patently isn't in the Royal Scot class.....either today, or relatively-speaking, all those years ago [yep I had one....because I LIKED it...and it was a ''bold step'' in those heady, Tri-ang days].....it does open the question asked elsewhere, concerning the 'viability', or 'desirability' of 'oddball' models?
I say ''oddball' in a nice way.....because with the advent of the blue Deltic [and yes, I'd like one, but not too sure of justifying the price], by Bachmann, does open the way for the idea of something like, ''City of Truro?''
now, 'Truro', I admit, could be also sold in other guises, since it was just one of a class....but even so????
maybe, if 'Truro' were produced, what price Hornby's reply?
Perhaps they too, should endeavour to enter the limited-run, sponsored market?
Or do a deal with Glasgow Museum?
because, what WOULD the Caley single need, to improve, create a more acceptable, scale model, in line with TODAYS expectations?
