Bachmann 66s

So have you sold as many as Bachmann would let you have, or did you under-order based on the worrying hand-finished sample?

I'm just wondering whether the "sold-out" sign is going to be out at every shop...

Bit of both I think, certainly orders picked up significantly after the first production samples were released a couple of weeks ago.

I suspect there won't be as much demand for the GBRf example which is yet to be released but I suspect the Freightliner model will get close to the demand for the EWS loco.

Thanks John. My son is after one and his birthday is coming up. Are they planning a DRS version yet?

There's a DRS / Malcolm loco in this year's catalogue, but quite when that is likely to be released is anyone's guess. They've not yet released the Freightliner & GBRf locos which (like EWS 66135) were in last year's catalogue, so I reckon the 2005 models might be a little way off.

Bachmann's website has started putting expected dates again on the availability page. Allegedly November for the 2005 Class 66 releases.
