Bachmann pull production of 00 scale 4 Cep 7106 in green

[Islineclear3_1]

Had an email from a well known UK model shop to advise me that my order for this unit has been cancelled with no word from Bachmann - yet they are still going to dothe blue/grey one (carrying the same unit number)

Probably a long shot but does anyone know Bachmann's reasoning?

Both versions still shown on Bachmann website, date TBA (to be announced). Perhaps just a production delay, which seems to happen with lots of railway models from a range of manufacturers. May also be affected by the numbers of advance orders they get from shops, etc - if a different item gets the most advance orders, that is liable to get production priority in the factories. And when personal finances are "difficult", a 4 coach emu may be seen as less affordable than a single locomotive.
