I must admit that I don't know much about that particular locomotive Syd, but if it's a pre-grouping design, then I think it could be a goer, at least in time. I've been reading a lot of stuff in the model railway press about the major manufacturers thinking about pre-grouping loco's. And why not? The market is almost saturated and if they want to keep on making money, then pre-grouping is the way to go. Maybe the Lickey Banker as a one off? It'd certainly sell, both as an operating model and also as a collectors piece.
I do agree with you about the Garratt though. The development costs for any manufacturer wold far outweigh any returns. Sadly, 'cos even I, as a out and out diesel fan, would probably buy one.
