Personally, I’d want to buy them in sixes. I’d guess that so would most builders of British, if not many European, locomotives. Adding in that some will want a pair of those to be blind, and some won’t, I think pairs is the only way of keeping people happy. Maybe a large volume discount, but I can see they won’t be cheap, so if they were sold in 4s or 8s we’d be splitting and swapping them to get the most money’s worth.

So long as it was a minimum order of 4 (i.e. 4, 6, 8...1000000), that wouldn’t be an issue.

Not being too familiar with loco lingo.....what are blinds? why are they useful?
