Title: Farish re-releasing Wagons?
Post by: Sprintex on June 05, 2012, 08:59:04 PM
For a while now I've been gradually building up a rake of Yeoman PGA hoppers for my layout, item code 373-035C. I notice from the Farish website that although this is listed as still current, there appears to be an identical one also listed as due in Sep/Oct with the item code 373-035D. No discernible difference between them, so anyone know why they appear to be reissuing the same agon with a different letter on the end of the item code?  ???

They often change the vehicle number as well.

From having experienced the same issue with their Redlands liveried PGA's it only seems to be normally just a running number change.

Ah OK, thanks  :)

Was starting to panic about whether I should rush out and complete my rake before they changed something fundamental and deleted the old ones  ;D

Aaaahhhh That'll explain why my order for 20 Redland and 20 VTG ones hasn't arrived yet, they're waiting for the new ones to appear before delivery.

Cheers

sometimes it can also be a weathered version of the wagon as well as a new running number.

HTH

Not in this case, description hasn't changed and pic looks identical to the old one  ;)
