Define "generic"?

If you're modelling certain eras or locations then the likes of the Baby Deltic or a 21/29 are key parts or making the scene complete. A 37 or 47 just wouldn't be the same.

I hope the Baby Deltic sells well. I hope a 21 or 29 gets made. I have no use for either class but hope that a 25/3 will follow them!

Quote from: GlenEglise on February 05, 2026, 08:24:22 PMI cannot understand why this model of a very limited Class and limited geographical range has been made. To me it is really crazy when a larger Class like the 21/29 with larger numbers and geographical presence is simply ignored.

Am I missing something?
Quote from: Jollybob on Today at 04:51:27 PMI don't understand why the need for something that not everybody will want. Surely something a little more generic would be sensible? Am I missing something here?
Completely off-topic (which was about upgraded versions of existing models) not models produced for the first time...
I'm sure it wasn't the intent, but both of those comments (and a few others) come across as "I don't want it, so nobody should be able to have one..."

Taken to the extreme "Not making something that not everybody will want" would mean no Diesel Locos would ever be produced because "not everybody will want one" and no GWR steam locos because only a tiny minority want one of those...
