Hi fellow modellers

I am wondering if anyone would be interested in a model of a 180 Adelante 5 car DMU by Bachmann or Hornby, because I think it would be popular, so I would like to get an idea about how many people would actually be interested.

There could be:

- First Great Western 180
- First "Barbie" livery with First Hull Trains branding
- First Hull Trains "Dynamic lines" liveried 180 refurbed (not been released yet)
- Northern Rail
- NXEC livery (when they go to NXEC in 2010)
- Grand Central (if they do actually take them on)
- Grand union (if they are approved)
- First Harrogate Trains (if their application is approved which isn't looking likely)
- First Great Western "Barbie" unbranded

Therefore 6 different liveries could be produced which have definitely been done and a further 3 which have not yet been confirmed, creating a wide range of models using one mould.

Please reply to say which ones you would be interested in if they were produced and which ones would be popular.

Thanks

Ryan

yes i would get one as soon as they were released but only in fgw dynamic lines or barbie because my layout is based in south wales. which reminds me, why can't bachmann do a fgw 158? lol
