Very good news.

I am looking forward to detaining some wagons, and finally being able to afford a propper rake of wagons instead of just 1 or 2!

I was actually thinking of the tanks. i think they look good when they are toned down a bit snd msbye with some etched steps and walkway i think they might look quite respectable.

Somewhere in a box i have a set of etched overlays to do a set of the pullmans that are now in the hobby range. i never did anything with them because at the time the pullmans were quite expensive for what they were.

I wonder if i could get close to the hornby finish!???

I have ordered a load of the tankers, but my order was postponed because of high demand!!!! i am thinking about doing a detailing kit for them.

What are your bets for 2008 then Gary?
i think we will get a load more (very usefull) wagons and some crappy mk1's. but i have no idea about loco's.

Hadnt thought about getting it into different shops.

Ok. for what its worth i think it will be an A4. using the old tooling it has the same chassis and mech as the Scotsman already in the RR range. as i said in my last post i think there will be some crappy mk1's, perhaps the wagons that lima first brought out with the 59. there was a 4 wheel hopper and a bogie hopper. but even then it will require new wheels. i dont know if Hornby would concider investing in even a small wheel tool for the continental axle length and i dont think they would put the metal wheels in something thats going to be sold to little kids.

I am not so sure about this very wide shelf space exposure. my experiences have been that very little is in the shops because there is so much of it on backorder.
