Bachmann 2009

: : However the older split chassis model is still in the catalogue. If I bought : the old Scot and then an upgraded one came out I would be upset.

Oh come on, that would apply to any upgrade, not just because you don't like what chassis is fitted, just think what those who - a few years back - bought the old Hornby 9F model only to find a re-tooled version in the (then) new catalogue...

Yes thats true, and realise its a minefield but this case is slightly different in that Bachmann have already declared an intent to upgrade. However how many retailers warn their customers.

Then wait, just like all though who have been waiting for the

4Cep rather than buy a kit, have a bash at modifying RTR BR Mk1's...

Sorry but this just seems to be a case of 'Stamping ones feet and getting in a paddy-whack' because what you want hasn't been done yet - how long has the 4Cep been in announced, IIRC far longer than your re-tooled Jubilee, we all know by now that with Bachmann it's done when it's done, as Kim implied in another thread about the 2009 Bachmann catalogue, much of it reads like fiction - we all know that many items won't see 2009 and might not even see much if any of 2010 either!

Not bothered for myself, quite enjoy the anticipation. tis just.... Theyve announced Scot will be upgraded. still producing old version. they were upset at Hornby stealing rebuilt Scot and Patriot. Brought out Patriot - new tooling, new to Bachmann.

so think they should get on with upgrading Scot.

Wow, you really do have a vivid imagination, ever thought of being the next Rev Awdry?!...
