RMweb Premium Nile Posted January 13, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2018 Although only in limited numbers, due to quality issues, some Heljan Lynton & Barnstaple locos did make it into shops last year. This is one I recently acquired and fixed up (details on my workbench soon) along with a matching Peco wagon (I've painted it's insides). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) No idea, only reported on NGRM today and I'm guessing it came via the Ilton show so I expect it will appear in RM next week and soon after on the order list for traders.

9402 Fredrick Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'm definitely have to get the bug box coaches since I got plans for an 009 narrow gauge layout, hope this is also a foreshadowing for an r-t-r release of the Ffestiniog George England 0-4-0ST-Ts.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted February 10, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yesterday I bought the latest release from Peco, the L&B centre observation coach. That prompted this train, made up of four different type of L&B coaches. A close up of the two most recent releases, on the left is the all third. I'm planning on replacing the lamp tops on the newer ones so they match the originals. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris45lsw Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Peco can now cover over 70% of the L&BR's coaching stock. Yes, Peco's tooling now potentially covers L&BR coaches Nos. 5 to 16, leaving 1 to 4 and 17 not covered. Chris KT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted April 15, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 15, 2018 Peco have now produced some open coaches in the brown & cream livery for Fourdees. A complete Fourdees train. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Nile Posted May 6, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2018 Those above aren't mine, but today I was able to buy one. Here it is with the matching rolling stock available from Bachmann. Liveries covering other eras are or will soon be available. We've never had it so good in 009. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted June 8, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2018 Fourdees are at it again with another exclusive model from Peco. This time it's a longer L&B coach, the livery matches their other coaches. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted September 21, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Another loco from Fourdees, from a new range of Hunslets. Using the familiar Farish 08 chassis these have the added fun of outside valve gear. This one is a freelance 0-6-2T model based on "Leeds No.1".

happyChappy Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Fabulous models. Along with your 'own build' locos Scarrdale must be operating with some of the best available rolling stock in 009.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted March 22, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) More RTR goodies from Fourdees. They have now produced a four wheeled open wagon, based on W&LLR prototypes. (also available in grey) It comes fitted with Peco couplings and Farish wheels, which are non-magnetic. Comparison with a kit-built W&LLR sheep wagon. Note that the sides of the wagon bow out slightly. I don't know if this by accident or design, but it looks a lot better than sides that bow in. Finally some photos on my layout. First is a W&LLR-esque scene with a modified RTR loco and a kit built brake van. Finally an all RTR goods train. These wider wagons are a better match to the other Fourdees stock. Edited June 24, 2023 by Nile 10 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted March 25, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 25, 2019 We've just added a set of Official photos of the Bachmann Quarry Hunslet to the appropriate section. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted December 20, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2019 I know PaulRhB has already posted photos of these, but I think they warrant being added to this topic . Released by Bachmann USA as Skarloey Railway coaches, they are also scale models of the Tallylyn Railway ones. The locos are also from Bachmann and can be modified into scale TR models with the help of Narrow Planet. Hopefully they will be available in UK shops next year or soon after. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted October 17, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Bugs! FR bug boxes in Victorian livery from Peco. These are very low riding vehicles with the wheels just under the seat tops. Here is a comparison with A GVT coach. These models share common chassis parts which explains why the bug box is longer than it should be. Edited June 24, 2023 by Nile 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted June 24, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2023 There now seems to be so much RTR 009 available now this topic has mainly become redundant. One notable omission has been a small goods brake van suitable for a freelanced railway. This gap has now been filled by the latest release from Bachmann in their Skarloey Railway range, available in two liveries. Here used as intended: I think the red one works well as a generic brake van: The finish is a bit glossy and could do with toning down. The buffers and coupling hook will probably be redundant in most cases. The Bachmann 009 couplings plug into NEM sockets. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted July 1, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hot on the heels of the brake van is a box van in matching liveries: This uses the same body as the brake van, but without the duckets and foot boards. A useful addition to the SR stock. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaZagato Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 These look fine models. I must be one to bring up their price, though. Especially direct from Bachmann here in the US. Each of those vans runs $50 or so, on average. Cheaper to grab them via a UK hobby shop. Are you planning on fussing with them at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted July 9, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 9, 2023 Even an 'official' supplier (RoS) is cheaper than that, an odd situation indeed. I'll be removing the buffers from the red ones to use as freelance stock on my own railways. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
