Anyone Seen Winston?

Every year Bachmann annonce what will be their new releases in the Large Scale TTE range and then we spend the rest of the year waiting for them. Sometimes they arrive around Christmas and sometimes they don't make it until early the following year.

I am frankly not that bothered about Winston, although I will buy one of course. What I am really looking forward to is the Ice Cream Truck, which is really what we would call a Van in the UK. That would look great in my TTE freight trains, especially if painted grey or brown.... Maybe one of each?

But I will continue to wait.

There was a Book and TV series many years ago called the 'Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin' by a very funny author called David Nobbs. The trains in that story always arrived late, but were consistently 11 minutes late each day. Reggie wrote a letter to the 'Southern Region (as it was back in the 1970s), suggesting that they re-time the trains by 11 minutes, so they wouldn't be late.

I am wondering whether there is any point writing a similar missive to Bachmann? Perhaps they should add six to eight months, rather than 11 minutes?
