The FCT are on the list to be expanded into a full fleet, watch this
space....

Oerjan has just designed a very nice BC and a BB for the OUDF, which 
we'll have in production very soon - watch this space!
Nic's never been happy with the quality of the FF mini (yes, it WAS a 
"quickie" conversion of a cut-down DD), but no-one who has bought any 
from us has ever complained about them to my knowledge.... personally 
I think they're fine. The odd thing is that his reason for not 
sending us the CVL was that he was thought that was a bit rough too, 
though he still produces it....  :-/
Maybe we'll just have to do a new CVL based on Oerjan's BC/BB parts.

Yes, the ESU was (in our opinion) the most in need of some new 
additions/replacements for the old minis. Next up will probably be 
the NAC, with some new classes for the NSL and FSE being dropped in 
here and there.
