If they've not made it previously, they can't RE-RELEASE it as per the title and OP of this thread  :hmmm:   ::)

A small class of 10 locos, essentially a Brit with a smaller boiler and 6P power rating, were anyone to make one it would be Dapol, but I suspect not.

And mainly only seen north of Carlisle. OK, EFE did the 5 x class 41's but they've been on all kinds of wish lists for years and years

Newman Miniatures produced a 3D print of a BR 'Clan' boiler that was available on Shapeways before the demise of that platform.  It was designed to replace the Dapol Britannia boiler to convert the model to a 'Clan'.

a couple of years after i got back into N gauge--2018/9--several minitrix " Clans" appeared on ebay ( Renamed Britts).  I was lucky enough to bag one.
i used to be indecisive...but now i'm not so sure.

Here is an example of a Minitrix "Clan" owned by @msr (scroll down to bottom of messages to see photo):

So to sum up the last few Posts in relation to the OP...

The reason Farish haven't re-released the Royal Scot in Crimson, is because the only previous model labelled as a Clan was from a different manufacturer (now not active in the UK market) and it was in reality simply a re-named Britannia (something that wouldn't be accepted in this day and age...)
