Yes... but instead they're just using the Lima tooling. I guess they've got to try and eek some value out of buying Lima. Certainly I'm surprised that Heljan/Bachmann haven't seen the opportunity and launched a truly amazing HST. They wouldn't even need to bother necc with launching a range of Mk3.s if they ensured their HST locos had suitable couplings/pockets.PTmodeller wrote:The HST MUST be due for a re-tool, surely.

Perhaps in a few years time they will do it. Hornby seem to be concentrating on upgrading their own locos (class 56 this year) whereas Bachmann do the same (eg class 37) but also bring out new releases (eg class 47, 150 etc). I don't see Hornby releasing any new locos or wagons, just retooling the stuff they already have, and for some reason to not a great standard.
Currently on the rails with my camera

I know that mate, I'll be doing the Wipac light cluster type. I shall check eBay now and try and get a bargain.

Skaledale is ok if you have lots of scenery and a good mixture of buildings, otherwise i agree, some of the features do seem a bit, well wobbly ha ha, mind you, i've bought several Liddle End N gauge buildings and i guess at 2mm to the normal foot, their not to bad at all, wobbly but not so as you'd notice

this picture depicts a decent image of this model then when you open it the detail is well rubbish looks as if its been painted with a brush not a spray gun.
