Will N3V work with IHH again?

A couple of months back, N3V released a Class 14 in conjunction with Iron Horse House, a developer for Railworks. Although it was not a bad model, I feel it was a missed opportunity, as the Class 14 doesn't exactly appeal, as it is a shunter and not a very succsessful one at that. Plus, there is already a Class 14 on the DLS. So will N3V work with IHH again? Perhaps this time, something more familiar like a Western or perhaps the prototype HS4000 Kestrel.:p
 
I'd be interested to see how many sales they had of the class 14 bearing in mind, as you say, its minority appeal and the fact there's a perfectly decent free version already available on the DLS. I believe they do a nice Mk2 carriage in Railworks and I wish they'd bring this to Trainz as we could really do with one.

Just to set the record straight: Alan Thomson didn't run Railwaves, that was set up, owned and run by Alan and Tom Williams, who latterly acted as suppliers for Alan Thomson's content.

I agree the 14 was a strange choice for IHH's first release - but it may have been because it was the simplest model to port over (perhaps due the availability of good dependencies on the DLS?) I don't think a prototype such as Kestrel would have enough appeal market appeal in Trainz, and whilst there are some of us that would dearly love new Western, it's very debatable as a commercial proposition. I'd love to know myself though, as I put my other WR hydraulic projects on hold when the 14 was released!

Thankyou for the correction Anthony.

I still think N3V should work with Alan Thompson, either directly or through a subsidary company, in order to offer more UK-related content.
