I hope that many a small 0-6-0 follows the 3F whatever the motive. Just read on MREMAG that from 2011 the tooling for CoT will become available for Bachmann to use as they wish.
I like the new Bachmann offerings at the moment and I hope that the O4 and A2 hurry their way over here to go with the new Bachmann freight stock and a nice run of Gresley teaks.
Also saw that Great Eastern is coming as the Pep A1 this year. Good news for all eras if you ask me.

Bachmann seem to have a thing about 0-8-0 and 2-8-0's lately, great, maybe there'll get round to a GN 2-8-0, we need one, the 3F is also pretty good news, seeing the there was one often on hanging around Hitchin, I'm still using my old Tri-Ang 3F,(44 years old and still going strong) I wonder if any Bachmanns will last that long, my J 72's did'nt

Yeh, I hope they realize there were 190 Fowler 0-8-0s against a handful of S&DJR 2-8-0s, and both shared the same failure of innadequate bearings. If the 2-8-0s had been required to do the work of the 'Austin Seven' 0-8-0s over the Pennines, they'de have hit the scrap heap in the early 1930s.
