I've been wondering about this for a long time; I know, get a life...
Whenever r-t-r manufacturers make the same class of loco, is there an unwritten rule whereby they don't usually make the same named/numbered loco (with some exceptions, such as A4 Mallard - Hornby & Bachmann)? I ask because I remember the Hornby-Dublo rebuilt West Country 'Barnstaple', not yet in Hornby's recent models, although Hornby did make the A4 'Golden Fleece' recently, which was made by Hornby-Dublo.
