If they are already 80% there and magazines with ads promoting the coaches (including the NGS Journal) have only just landed on people's doormats I would be cautiously optimistic that the minimum quantity required to make the whole project viable will be achieved including the push-pull coaches.

With the success of the Gresley BG and refurbed Buffet already achieved, it does leave me pondering whether we might at some point see some other similarly marginal projects promoted in a similar way going forward.

It also means there's no discount from the box shifters

True, but also no dealer margin to factor in to pricing where sold direct.

To be honest on the face of it that may look like a good thing and is certainly a way of bringing a more "marginal" model to market, but in terms of supporting a network of model shops it does nothing, so I hope it is used selectively. I also hope that it means the tooling can be used for subsequent runs made available to their dealer network.

I'd like to think that, paying £40 for a coach, any left unsold are not discounted as, having supported both projects from the get go, I'd be seriously brassed off
