As you point out, Bachmann have had a vapour-ware 66 on their list for years now, along with almost anything else you can think of. Difficult for anyone else to pick anything that *doesn’t* conflict with one of these spoilers!

Dapol needed, IMHO, to pick a “leading role” loco of some description, and it seems like they’ve done just that :-)

My only slight gripe is that I’d say the 66 is more likely to appear from Bachmann than some of their other promises. I wish Dapol had produced a 47 instead…

While I’m more than keen to see Bachmann being out-run, I do hope they still produce their HAA. This is a key wagon for me, and something both better and cheaper than the Peco offering would be purchased in great quantities.
