0 DJ Dangerous Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So if we see a 141 / 181 release, it'll be a solo Bachmann project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 WRENNEIRE Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 It is my understanding that PM owns the tooling He learned the hard way, when Lima went bang and were bought by Hornby he could not get the 201 tooling from them as Hornby reckoned they owned it when the bought Lima and all their assets Similarly when he did the N Class Jinty and green CIE coaches in conjunction with Bachmann, they brought out the Irish Railway set using his artwork etc Lesson learned the hard way, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever PM does, he will have a huge amount of support, as will IRM. The debt of gratitude that we all owe to both for bringing us to where we are today is huge. Hopefully, we will see more 141's / 181's some day in the not too distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
