Noel I assume you have 141-181 class and 071 class models. Both models were produced in the same manufacturing plant by the same people. The cabs, the antenna's, the glazing, the roof horns and, buffer's have been re-used from the 141-181 models. The buffer's on the 071's are actually slightly different and heavier than those fitted to the babies on the prototypes. It doesn't bother me that they were reused as I love the models. If or when a 121 is produced it won't be by Bachmann it will be by MM. I feel supremely confident that a 121 from the MM stable will be a fantastic model. If it would be possible to make the side grilles see through without any of the chassis block showing, it would be amazing.
