Hey Nigels, this is something I wanted to point out in particular. As you know, the Bachmann HO scale models weren't available in the UK due to Hornby holding the rights to Thomas in OO scale. This did not affect the Bachmann Large Scale Thomas models at all, which are available in the UK, because no one had made Large Scale Thomas models in the UK before Bachmann got the license. Similarly, no one has held the rights to make N Scale Thomas models in the UK, which will hopefully make the same thing true for the upcoming range.
Modeling the LNER (and some Thomas stuff) in OO Scale.
