In August???
Surely with their reputation, that's more likely to have been a delayed "Spring" Anouncement... 

The "Autumn" announcement, like all their quarterly announcements, is for actually existing products which they expect to be delivered in the following three months - in this case Autumn. It's not the date of the announcement itself.

And the remark about their "reputation" is a a bit unfair given the good record of the past few years. In the current uncertain situation for global trade and shipping they are no worse, and a lot better than, many other companies.

I did search for that but must have missed it

The Autumn announcement has been and gone (Edit: New tool Class 37/7s with sound and some mineral wagons), it was last month, I think the Winter one is due sometime in November..

Let's hope something more transition era comes out of the main Autumn announcement, assuming there'll be one

I won't be ordering any, even from my chosen Batman retailer(A.I. generated sub titles?)

Holy pre-orders Robin, whyever not??

Can I be the first to say "Nothing for me here"? Evidently not, as Roy got in first.

And there I was thinking a class 15 diesel, or a Southern 4-6-0....

This has to be one of their easier wins and something probably developed at the same time as the Scottish 20s and the sound chassis. Just delayed to keep us on our toes.

Yep, not one that fits with my own modelling interests but I would think the DRS ones in particular will go down pretty well.

Different version of the 20.
