Demand outstripping Supply?

[RobertInOntario]

Perhaps it is supply driving demand?

More and more manufacturers seem to announce limited runs well in advance, with the hope of selling everything "up front". If that is the case for your favourite loco, passenger car, rolling stock, or whatever, there was never going to be anything left over to sit on shelves as stock...

I know that, especially with British outline models, there have been lots of limited run models in recent years. I think these are often sponsored by model shops / retailers. Rob
