My money would be on Charles being discontinued and Linda/Blanche making a re-appearance.
They'd better not as that would really put a strain on my finances :|

I reckon either the Leek & Manifold or the Darj will be dropped from the range.

I'm told that the Darj is their most popular model, so I doubt it'll get dropped.....................

I'd be surprised by the L&M, its only been out 2 years...

Could it be the Russell? Its certainly one of the oldest designs there and it might be time for a revamp to bring it into line with the newer classic locomotives.

Mind you, they did discontinue 3 last year, maybe nothing will get dropped!

The Darj. has non standard parts and must be fiddly to put together, also expensive so I reckon that's the one to go.

Really? Iv never seen that many about, I always thought the most popular model would be Lady Anne or Katie.

I reckon it'll be one of the recent prototype models that get the chop, they seem to sell initially well and then dry up.

For a new model once again Id like to see a new addition to the basic range.

Nothing will be in next year other than an addition to their trucks in the way of skip wagons. There is though rumour of VOR coaches!

Cant see it somehow, unless its had a total re-vamp to rival accucrafts LEW for build quality and detail?
If its to the same spec as the old one, should sell well.

If they brought a loco back I would want a re-issue of the Stanly tram engine.

Love that model
