I reckon a safe guess would be Farish for the 8F and Revolution/Sonic for the 56xx
I don't even want to tempt fate with the Dapol Bob/WC :no:

PPS. Just noticed this was announced in the 2019 catalogue with the LMS 8Fs so not new  :thumbsdown:

Hi Chris,

Any other surprises in the new catalogue?

Kind regards

Paddy

Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Or not that I noticed. Nothing is marked as new so it's not easy to see straight off  and some are reappearances of previously announced (but not delivered) models. Eg Princess Coronation and the 64xx.

I did notice the merchant navies and A1s have gone. Get them while, or if, you can. Likewise the SECR C class.

Nothing obviously new in Diesels, not even re liveries.

I'm no good at wagons and coaches so can't tell what's new without comparing to last year's catalogue. Nothing obvious.

New Thomas range in OO if that's of any interest? Widely expected I believe.

I wouldn't start planning a spending spree... :(
