D6975 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 37049 in coal sector livery was also used on Hunterston to Ravenscraig trains on at least one occasion as appears in one of the TrainCrazy videos - as part of a triple header. Although I have too many 37s I can see that one making its way into my collection... didn't know about 47359 so you've probably just cost me £100+... :-) 47359 was a Thornaby metals sector loco, but was then transferred to Tinsley Speedlink. It was eventually revinyled into the red diamonds, but did wander all over the place as a speedlink loco in metals sector markings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Who'd be a Bachmann focus group leader ? Head against a wall. Bufferbeam cowls or not to bufferbeam..... I'm irritated because the RFd47 is dominos one end, markers the other and I need marker/ marker for my project:) And as for Scottish focus....if Nicola gets her way....you'll be in continental modeller and the 37s will be made by Lilliput !

GordonC Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi mark - it was met tongue in cheek but they do seem to be ignoring some of the models from an era and region that is quite popular with modellers - I'm sure you catch my drift. Ben I'm amazed there haven't been more 37/0s produced, particularly in Large Logo Blue. When you compare how many 37/4s have been produced (and presumably sold) then you'd have to think particularly West Highland or Inverness steam heat 37/0s would be quite a rich vein of sales too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I was only thinking about getting another MPV for a little idea but thats gone and silly prices for the odd one's that you can find. Also wonder if the BRA steel strip wagon comes with Kadee couplers as shown in the catalogue Is it a Kaydee (should be 'Kadee', I've been informed ) or is it one of Bachmann's 'Eeyzee' coupling that they have issued on some of the models of Thrall-built wagons in the past?

When I saw this one announced I searched on Flickr and the Class47 website as I want to re brand into RF distribution for the 92 period. It looks to have been in metals until sometime in 91 from photos I've seen and appears on both freight and passenger workings in and around Inverness in a few of them. 37049 was used up North as well and later was at Motherwell gaining black plates and depot plaques too.

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted January 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2017 Is it a Kaydee, or is it one of Bachmann's 'Eeyzee' coupling that they have issued on some of the models of Thrall-built wagons in the past? <pet hate> What's a Kaydee? </pet hate> Please spell things correctly, especially when it is correctly spelt in the mail you are replying to. It does matter. Why does it matter? In many cases the company's website is accessed at http://www.<theirname>.com To see this for yourself, you should click on http://www.kadee.com/ (the correct one) and http://www.kaydee.com/ (the wrong one). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6975 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) 47359 First shot Westbury 19/02/90 note lack of end numbers - only a few 3TG 47s had them missing. Second shot Temple Meads 23/03/92 vinyls swapped but still no end numbers. Doorside repeater flashes are at the wrong end too, but this was a relatively common liverying error, not just on 47s. ps these phots are both of the no. 2 end, which had proper glass lenses in the headcode. The no.1 end had the frosted glass discs. Edited January 15, 2017 by D6975 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Rather worryingly, D6714 and 37041 are both shown still having the ruddy great gouge in the bodyside under the cantrail grilles. 37049 and 37284 both have smooth bodysides though. I hope that the first two will not be produced as shown on the Bachmann website. If they have the gouge I won't be buying either. If not it could be a bit expensive. Yes indeed, that "gouge" looks like still being present, although the question is, why ? , Model Rail's L/E 37 068 "Grainflow" was produced correctly WITHOUT said gouge, so it's not as if the tooling option is not available.......... Once again it makes the "pre-order" saga a joke, not only do we not get a "realistic" price to work with, but the actual model that's going to be released shortly, is in this case different to what was originally advertised.............

Marcus 37 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This isn't by any means a rant as it's an easy fix from other RF sector loco's but I find it rather strange that Bachmann has never done a loco with the Construction sector markings. Both the 37's and 47s carried it. All the other sectors have been done at least twice so you would have thought Construction sector examples would have sold well. It's almost as if it's been over looked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted January 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2017 Although my main focus these days is N, the 1P may oblige me to build a small 4mm scale Midland BLT layout. I already have a 2P Stanier 0-4-4T which I bought many years ago secondhand. It is a much bashed Triang/Hornby Jinty so probably a little inaccurate but it is a favourite which, sadly, does not run that well. So I will definitely be having one of these.

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Is it a Kadee or is it one of Bachmann's 'Eeyzee' coupling that they have issued on some of the models of Thrall-built wagons in the past? Based on one effectively accidental purchase of a Bachmann steel strip wagon, and all the Bachmann HTA's I own, pretty confident that a Bachmann wagon would have their EZmate coupler fitted, a Kadee clone. Cannot speak for its reliability interoperated with Kadee, but used in a set of all EZmate couplers - a train of many HTA's with an EZmate installed through the bufferbeam of the 66 - it has proved completely reliable.

Butler Henderson Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) The Ezmate coupler is a simpler version in that only the jaw is pivoted rather than the whole whole coupling head as well on a Kadee. Can mean they are less easy to uncouple using an track fitted / under track magnet but are great for nominally fixed rakes.

Poor Old Bruce Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Does the new 9F have a BR1G tender? It's only described as Large Tender but looks like a 1G to me. There are three 9Fs in the new catalogue. 92189 should have a BR1F. 92211 and 92220 shold have BR1Gs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
