I think the tooling they've done would have allowed them to do 601 in ROG livery. Admittedly that's now 501 in British steel blue, but a little surprised they've overlooked it. Also somewhat happy as it's the one Mercig did for me!

Quite amazing that some of them have now operated as long with private operators as with British Rail in all its forms.

Personally I thought it was an excellent set of releases, Bachmann showing commitment to the scale. Even if a 37/7 is not what you are after, it's clear many other 37 variants are going to follow.

Appreciate I am new to the hobby so only just starting to build my collection, but the fact my wishlist from releases from over the last 18 months is very long suggests to me Bachmann are doing something right. I get that people who have been in the hobby far longer than me will have less gaps to fill, but I do feel Bachmann get a hard deal sometimes.

British N Gaugers are a bit morose.

This strikes me as great news!!
