BR(S) Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The model in the pic has footsteps and a boiler filling port, I wonder if the proper release will have them filled in as per the real thing as it says they have changed the roof, buffers etc but no mention of those bits (Can't believe I've picked up on that, I'm the least picky person when it comes to finding issues with models!) Regardless, I'm still looking forward to getting this one Might just be a body they had to hand to illustrate/test the livery. Always worth an e-mail to Bachmann to check.

Always worth an e-mail to Bachmann to check. That's not how I read the Bachmann website. To me it says that the real loco has been modified as so doesn't match exactly the model as being produced, not that the model has errors that will be corrected to match the real loco.

Jim drives the Colas one so maybe he could take a big knife and some steel sheet and gaffer tape to work and modify it to look like the model?

brittannia Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Just received e mail from The Hobby Shop Faversham that they have just seen a pre-production model of the "Reps Model" Colas 47 and expect delivery September or early October. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted August 27, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 27, 2017 Just received e mail from The Hobby Shop Faversham that they have just seen a pre-production model of the "Reps Model" Colas 47 and expect delivery September or early October. That's really interesting. Thank you for posting and letting us know. I checked the other day on Hattons on the DRS Compass 47805 model. Delivery is expected December 2017/January 2018. So this model is expected at the same time as the VT & WCRC 47s from the standard Bachmann range. I find it strange that the Colas 47 is arriving before these three models. Unless of course the expected delivery date on Hattons for 47805 is incorrect and it could actually be arriving in September/October with the Colas 47.

I think that with them having seen a pre-production model plus taking photos as well they could be right, however they do state any delays customers will be notified.Also they have the Loco at a good price considering other 47 special edition prices. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really looking forward to the Colas and DRS 47s. Even though I suspect that the Colas livery on 727 is now outdated I am still hoping to buy 727 because I do think that both the original and new liveries on the Colas 47s look good. I'm equally looking forward to the DRS 47. It's about time that we see some of these DRS and Colas liveries on Bachmann 47s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIAM Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 The Locomotion ltd ed royal 47 is also said to be due in October which, like the Colas 47, doesn't fit with the January delivery date for the production 47s.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are rumours 47727 is currently being painted either Caledonian Railways blue or Caledonian Sleeper blue for a one year contract. With 47805 also now sold out of service by DRS that is two more historic liveries Bachmann are delivering !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very strange. You would think that they would all be delivered in December/January. The only thing that I can think of is that they might have a spare production slot or two for the smaller Limited Edition batches. Although the slots probably aren't big enough to accommodate the general catalogue Class 47 releases. Indeed. There are rumours 47727 is currently being painted either Caledonian Railways blue or Caledonian Sleeper blue for a one year contract. With 47805 also now sold out of service by DRS that is two more historic liveries Bachmann are delivering !!! Thank you very much for letting me know. It would be nice to see a Caledonian Blue Class 47. I think even if it appears in blue I will still buy the original Colas liveried 727 release. It would be nice if 749 in the new Colas livery was done as a Limited Edition next. Bachmann did state on annouchement that Rebecca was the early Colas livery etc carried as stated in earlier post [106] I think I like both of the Colas liveries on the 47s equally. Both the original and new liveries are quite well suited to the Class 47. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47423 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Surprise, surprise. Just waiting for a similar announcement on the Locomotion 'royal' 47. Still, some more time to save up. Prince Harry has a different bodyshell to the modern rep models so won't be made in the same batch. All the rep editions have cut down cabs and also the forthcoming 245.799 and 701 have bufferbeam surrounding and flush number 2 end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
