Farish Class 20 - What are the chances that alternatives will be released?

[stevieboy]

As per the title, in people's experience of the way Bachmann operate, what are the chances of them releasing a second run of the BR Green version (or other's) with a different running number?

I only ask as I have one, and ideally I would like a second but I've seen that they are all out at Bachmann (loads in the market though) and I'm wondering whether to buy and re-number one or wait to see what happens?

Advice appreciated.

i would imagine that they would produce another one in green at some stage

Second (and third) edition releases tend to be low priority
As an example look at the Class 47 DCC version, first released in 2007, the second releases are due early next year

From the coaches it appears to simply be done when the market wants a new batch. The code gets an A then a B then a C etc and they change the numbers. A small but rather nice move on their part.

At a guess, i would have thought another batch of 20's may be announced for the next catalogue. Judging by the patterns from the OO 20's the next batch will not simply be straight re-numbers of the current batch. My guess would be a Green SYP will feature in the next batch (discs or headcode box will suit me ), also i guess at a clean Blue with Discs and possibly a Railfreight Grey? And i wouldn't say no to a GBRf one

A *clean* blue class 20. Is there a prototype for that

Not true - there's already been a second run of the Green ones....
