RMweb Premium Coryton Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 Most looking forward to the Vulcan Train pack, as seems to be a great selection of items. Although Hatton's price seems to be rather optimistic though really. Though some of the prices not marked as estimates are lower than I would have expected. £34 for a Mk1, for example. I don't know what the RRP is though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the RRP is though. Very true - 44006 at £115 give or take a few pennies. Much less than I had been expecting. 4BEP is £250. Given the 2HAP is £190, I was expecting that to be higher. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2017 I wouldn't be the first on here to miss a key element of the announcement so I will word this carefully. I saw the status update for previously announced N gauge, but I didn't see one for the numerous outstanding 00 models? Thinking Thompsons and Birdcages from my outstanding orders.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think if they were to tool a centre car for anything, it would be for the 2H or to make a 4EPB. The 150/0s are too limited. Roy If they did a centre car for a 150, wouldn't the end cars be wrong ? IIRC, on the 150/0's the drivers doors are 150/2 style on a 150/1 body ? Cheers, Phil.

reevesthecat Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Sorry can't find my latest Bachmann times- when do collectors club members receive their catalogue as it's now out of synch with the collectors mag releases and we used to receive the 2 together in march.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 Last year I was watching the announcement as I wanted a 93XX which had only been released once, in split chassis form with GWR livery. The fact that no such announcement was forthcoming meant that if I wanted a 93XX before 2018 I would have to pick up a second hand one and do the brutal (but not at all impossible) conversion to DCC and acquire a suitably liveried tender from a 43XX. The job is done and I am happy with it (and for less than fifty quid!). I have both a Manor and a 43XX from Mainline which I bought new (I also had a 57XX and a 2251 but the 57XX now has a Bachmann chassis and I sold the 2251 for more than I paid for it and replaced it with a Bachmann example). I converted the Manor to DCC (quite easy really) but the running is still as poor as it has always been. The 43XX is (and has been for a few years!) undergoing a Comet chassis upgrade. New ones from Bachmann would be nice. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks Roy and Andy for your help. Having found the relevant section they haven't updated on the teak Thompsons which I've now had on order for three years. Nice to know they are progressing the birdcages.

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2017 The Midland 0-4-4 1P tank, whilst a delightful little locomotive, seems a very curious choice for a main manufacturer to produce as I do not think it has featured at all in previous years "wish list" polls. This would seem to be a locomotive which is very much of minority interest and I suppose that Bachmann hope that it will sell on the basis that it can be provided in a number of attractive liveries. However what is the point of forums like this having "wish list" polls if manufacturers simply ignore them. I appreciate that Bachmann have probably done their own market research and perhaps this research tells them that this is the right locomotive to produce but I must admit I do have my doubts that it will sell that well, but perhaps I'll be proved wrong. Sandra Looking at 'LMS Engine Sheds Vol 2 The Midland Railway', the 1920 allocation list shows how ubiquitous these locos were across the Midland network. No. 1273 itself was allocated to Buxton in 1920, which suits my north Midland interests well! No. 1303 was based at Gloucester by 1945. I'm delighted with the 2017 Bachmann announcement, the 1P complementing the imminent Webb Coal tank, and with the current Crab, and soon to arrive Mogul, us LMS folks have got a lot to thank Bachmann for. Just need to save a few more pennies (er, pounds)... and gives me a bit more time to finish the layout. (I think I said that when the Webb tank was first announced, but might be ready in time for the arrival of the 1P...). And Hornby too has a good LMS offering in their 2017 announcement, with the 8F and Rebuilt Scot, in later liveries too, will go well with the new Duchess, for those with wartime/post-war LMS interests. All in all, good news I reckon :-) all the best, Keith 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboy Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I could deal with disappointment of there being nothing new to excite me if I thought that they had made decent progress on previously announced items that I was after, but I can't believe that the Farish Mk2F coaches are still at the Drawing Office stage four!! years after they were announced.

Black 5 Bear Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Excellent news about the Stanier Mogul and the Coal tank being very near to release. An early green liveried type 4 with disc headcodes would have been the icing on the cake. Never mind, perhaps my wish will be granted in 2018 ??? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 A decent amount of new stuff for the BR blue modellers, meaning I cannot now say; 'Nothing for me' (the time-honoured moan), or 'Too much for me, I can't afford it all' (the new moan).

RMweb Premium richierich Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 In 4mm:- Like the Speedlink 47 and Coal 37. VEAs are great, just the pricing could be interesting Re-runs of OBAs, BAAs in RF liveries are a good move, all popular in the 2nd hand market. In 2mm:- Refurb Class 31 was a no brainer. Nice choice of liveries too. Retool TEA - About time! But pricing could be eye watering, especially considering likely to buy in greater quantities to model nearer to scale length trains. Also no Shell mono block livery announced (yet?). Surprised the VEA hasn't been scaled down to 2mm. A missed opportunity? Still no retooled VBA or VDA vans! Would of been the ideal opportunity to release these if celebrating BR Railfreight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 A few of the liveries for the modern day stuff - Merl Evans / Evening Star etc - are of interest but not enough to have me buy new. These are the sort of things I would either relivery myself or pick up 2nd hand. With all the rumours that 2 manufacturers were doing an 86 & as we now know a Hornby 87, I was really hoping for a Class 86 announcement. Really disappointed with that and also that the Class 90 has not moved on at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a model shop (such as kernow) commissioning a centre car... The discussion was about the 150/0s of which there are only 2 - ok they have had a few liveries. All the other three car 150s were never 150/0s, even if they were numbered as such. You can make a three car hybrid 150/1 /2 easily using spare cars which pop up on ebay and the like quite often.
