Hornby has done better jobs on detailing every time untill I saw the 3MT.
The two versions of 4MT were given enourmous publicity in all the model mags and it was made clesr which was better.
I am not sure how they have managed to keep it in the range.
I do look forward to the new Hornby lot.
That L1 tank looks promising.

Just reread this post!
I doubt very much if Bachmann sales are falling with Tornado, SR EMU, Standard 3 Tank and City of Truro I think they might have hit the Christmas Jackpot!
Hornby will have done well with the Javelins and at the very last moment a few Castles but as far as I know the 12 wheeled Pulmans didn't make it, niether did the NRM Schools.
In 2010 I know I have the O4, Blue Peter and 105 DMU to look forward to from Bachmann and that is before the 2010 announcements!
As far as the Class 4s are concerned it depends if you want to run them or keep them in a display case. I am getting fed up with bit falling of Hornby stock when you try to use them. Super glue always at the ready! I can assure you that I handle my stock very carefully!
To be fair I don't think either has sold by the shed load!
Best wishes,
