Hattons enter n gauge market as manufacturer

Some of the connoisseurs amongst us like @Newportnobby will probably have a couple, y'know, one parked strategically behind the breakdown crane as another slowly hauls a large rake in front of it.

You've got your work cut out selling this model to me. I've no intention of buying one

Nobody has suggested you'll be buying one!

I've got a couple of months to work on him yet.

I have not been classified as a connoisseur before, more likely an obsessive collector 

Having said this I have ordered two in the LMS black to go with my two hand made models and I feel a steam shed module on my layout coming on.

What I am even happier about is that Hattons have listened and are fitting two motors.   they will need them.

Do we know who is Hatton's model designer? Revolution usually let us know if it is Rapido/Sonic/Colin Allbright.

Hi All,

Well been perfectly honest the Garrett isn't for me at all not even as a rule 1 purchase, but fair play to Hattons for going all out with this one!

If they are serious about moving into N gauge then some of the track maintenance wagons they are offering in OO I think would go down well (YOB Plasser 12t GPC crane, Beilhack snow plough, FEA-S intermodal wagon with Track Panel, RHTT). But as anything time will tell and I guess that the Garrett is a bit of an experiment for them!
