Predictions for the new year model releases?

I would really like N gauge traction to come DCC ready to avoid the necessary poxing around fitting decoders. Nothing fancy, no lights necessarily, just a plain old motor decoder!!!

I'm crossing my fingers for Bachmann to produce Super GUVs, and for someone to give us a good 67 and 87.

I would. Why do Rail Express any favours?

You offering to take their place in any legal proceeding then, just because Rail Express either gets away with it or have authority to do so it does not mean that others would.

I'll second that, especially if they do one in N as well, but I think we'll be lucky to even see them release their standard GUV's in 2006. There is a chance that another company will release all three items in OO though. :)

Hornby doing either a brand-new 37 or 47.................

Hornby doing a 101.

Somebody please to do a RTR 150.

Cheers, Mick

I have heard from different sources that Hornby will definatley be doing a

2. It would not be a bad move for them to do the 73 before bachmann does!!

Steam wise its King arther and rebuilt spam can + maunsell coaches.

47 would just replicate both Heljan and Bachmann - and if the Bach 57 is anything to go by, the 47 will be something very special indeed...

Yes please to both of those! The most easily-recognisable symbols of BR DMUs.

I thought the EMU's were a certainty? Am I wrong? Rob

That wouldn't stop Hornby doing one, even though there are numerous other gaps in the market they could fill.

Ironically, despite all the hype on here that an emu is a certainly, I've never heard *any* suggestion direct from either main manufacturer that they are considering one.

Surely they would be replacing their existing dated model as they have done for the 08/09 already not replicating.

What would be what they did last year and replace one existing model and release two new ones.

I still long for classes 14, 15 and 17!! Badger.

them to

year?

Well if their Brush type2 is anyything to go on I don't think they need to crib anymore....

If you are still referring to Hornby, they already produce a rebuild 'Spam Can', perhaps you mean a rebuilt WC/BB class Bulleid, hope so, but fear they might drop the MN - (it would be nice to have an un rebuild MN though!

publicity? After

No, I'm not talking about a magazine but the retail trade, remember that any manufacture could stop supplying a trader who broke their ND agreement...

certainly, I've

My pipe-dream, other than a load of pre 1945 SR EMU's [1], is for a class 23 and 29 although I agree that a 15 would be nice (in both powered and un-powered versions.

[1] such as 2Bil, 4Cor, 6Pan / Pul / City and not forgetting the 5Bel! )

That could be interesting with reference to EU competition legislation.

remember

legislation.

IANAL but if the trader had broke the T&C of any contract I doubt the trader would have a leg to stand on.

Huh? EU competition legislation, AFAIK, is about *nations* not stealing a march on each other with open or hidden *government* subsidies to strategic industries such as airlines or the steel industry. I don't think it applies to model railway companies and their distribution policies.

You might be thinking of civil cases concerning restraint of trade.
