Re the 4MT, regardless of which is better, I tend to agree that they will not have enjoyed huge sales - was this model a tactical error in that it was not greatly demanded nor, despite the models high quality, was it a great impulse buy.
It would be interesting to know generally how well or how quickly every loco model sells. Stats will be distorted by manufacturers limited runs but presumably where high demand is experienced further batches will be made and sales stimulated by renumberings. It would also be interesting to know that where modellers have voted for a particular model to be produced if their enthusiasm translates into actual high levels of sales.
I suppose, however, we will not be happy until every single loco in the Ian Allen ABC has been made available in model form but at the same time I think we have been well served over recent years by the huge range and improving standards by all manufacturers.
