Sorry to disagree but I thought it was quite a surprising and bold move by Piko.
Seven new models in HO, a major coup of a V60 in G plus support for TT with a BR151 for less than 60Eu for a minority player, that really is a good effort.
Don't worry about your branchline in Wuerttemberg, the lack of new models will give you the opportunity to build rather than buy something?
