I have just read through the results of the wishlist poll sponsored by MREMag and some of the main British model rail magazines.

http://www.mremag.com/sites/10/documents/2013results5.pdf

The staggering thing is that the highest polling N gauge item received just 68 votes! OK it is an online poll but widely publicised in the paper press and online lists.

Would any manufacturer choose to pursue their "planned" Pendolino with just 38 votes? Or even the Class 92 with 64 votes?

Mike

I see that none of the two engines I have submitted appears in the list.
I feel alone... :'(

I think it's more likely we've all managed to vote for something different

It would be interesting to compare this years results to last years. If I remember rightly;-

The SR Schools was the top of the pile. There is a Schools due out shortly from Dapol.
On the EMU side I think the Brighton Belle came top - which is (allegedly) due out (at some time) from Arnold/Hornby...

I cant remember what came second, third, fourth etc but we should compare this list to last times. If it is wildley different we are proving what a fickle lot we are and how hard it must be for the major manufacturers to identify a subject that they can make money on. If, however it was consistent, then we should be taking it around to those same manufacturers saying that for two years running the same examples have come top in our pole..

I think the majority of the votes will be for stuff that hasn't been produced yet (guilty as charged

)...

Thinking about it, I could have voted differently as i'd love a better 61xx large prairie tank... oh well, maybe next time !

The Pendolino was most desired EMU, squeezing the Brighton Belle into second place.

Greybeema · May 23, 2013, 02:48:14 PM

Lets see where it is on the list this year then Pengi..
