Lovely- I'd buy all 4!

Might actually be a better candidate for Bachmann - as they'd produce it at a more reasonable price than Hornby!

A point that seems to be missed is that even if only one of a prototype was made it doesn't diminish its attraction to modellers. If the DunAlastair could be made in four liveries that may increase its appeal to a manufacturer. If Eureka models can succesfully commission and sell an AD60 in Australia, I'm sure we can have a Scottish equivelant (not a garratt obviously) commissioned and sold.

Happy modelling

Judging by the amount of Viessmann OHL equipment we sell to UK modellers, who are more than happy with it I don't really think there is that much demand for a UK only based system - the problem is more like the fact that many UK modellers who are interested in OHL equipment are unaware of its existance.
