GordonC Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 While I'd like to see an Eastfield 37/0, there have been quite a few ETH fitted 37/4s in that livery so I'd rather see a Large Logo Motherwell 37/0 with the leaping salmon ready to take up duties on Ravenscraig freight trains 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

50030 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'd welcome an Eastfield split box next time, failing that an Eastfield centre box like 175, 188, 191, 264 would be nice. Or going down another route, getting some Heljan tops numbered 27s would be good. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted June 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 14, 2017 . . . . . . . . getting some Heljan tops numbered 27s would be good. Sorry but you won't find us commissioning any locos from Heljan (or Hornby, DJ, Dapol or anyone else). There are connections between our Club and Bachmann but even so it took some time to get this agreement in place and we are extremely grateful to those at Barwell for making this happen. Mike .

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted June 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'd be happy with 37111 using exactly the same tooling as 37114 if it made an ED loco more likely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonC Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 are we getting any clues as to whether the second planned model is in a similar theme to the first? I'd be surprised if there isn't a rich vein of sales to be made out of Scottish Large Logo Class 37s and 47s. The 37/4's are perhaps well represented, but there was quite a variety of applications from where the black paint around the cab windows stopped to the whether the 7 digits were curly or straight or black/yellow headcode panels. 47/0s in Large Logo even the one with the large, unique Haymarket castle. I'm quite surprised Bachmann haven't yet made some of these as catalogue models Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted June 16, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 16, 2017 are we getting any clues as to whether the second planned model is in a similar theme to the first? The short answer is NO The slightly longer answer is that we don't know what it will be yet. Our loco adviser has come up with a number of options and some of these may have been mentioned in the previous 'wish list' topic - but then again there are some ideas that haven't been discussed before. The two problems are cost and delivery time - as soon as we book a loco with Bachmann we need to put down a 15% deposit and we would rather get some cash in from the first loco before starting to pay out for the second, especially as we have to pay the full balance when the ship docks and with delivery time, payment, packaging etc it will perhaps be a month before we get the cash back and can start all over again. Then it all depends on what Bachmann are going to produce so that we can take our 500 from one of next year's production runs. As before, RMweb will be the first to know . . . . . . . .

Ever thought about the option of allowing people to pay upfront if they wish to help cash flow?

Roy Or an upfront deposit - 50 quid or so would ease the cashflow situation somewhat wouldn't it? ps Metcalfe don't do round chimneys. Unfortunately as a club in our current status we can't take cash or payment by any means up front for accounts/financial reasons, otherwise we would've followed the current trend to take payment in full upon reservation/pre order. Annoying but true at this moment in time, although it will be addressed for future releases so we can do this! Sales are very strong btw, we're two thirds sold out in this little time, so anyone waiting until they arrive may be disappointed. Just a heads up.. because I'm guilty myself of not reserving things on pre order, I just wait until they're in stock! But at this rate they'll be spoken for. Thanks for your support, getting nearer to a replacement building! Alex 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Glad it's paying off ... One thing I think would sell ( not to me much but I'm not pie in the sky ) and seems to be asked for a lot is a refurbished nose 45, seems to be on recurring wish lists ....

Lochnagar Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Just a reminder to anyone who's already ordered a loco or is thinking of doing so, we are still offering weathering and/or Legomanbiffo DCC sound fitting for 37114, at discounted prices. The work will be done by myself to the usual high standard and if anyone wants to go down this route please drop me a private message on here or through my website abcworkshops.co.uk If you already know me just get in touch by whatever means you like. Sales are still going really well so once again many thanks! The new clubroom is starting to appear on the horizon. Option 1. Weathering, an extra £25. Done by myself to your spec, a proper job. Option 2. DCC sound fitting, an extra £140. Done by myself, using the latest Legomanbiffo Loksound V4 decoder and standard 20 x 40mm speaker. Option 3. Renumbering/renaming, £ price depends on which one, drop me a line and I'll quote you. If you require any one or a combination of these three options, get in touch with me directly, and I will sort it out for you once the locos have arrived with us in January.

Lochnagar Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Pre production samples are now expected to be with us in mid to late September, so I'll post up on here when they arrive. Any alterations will be sorted at this stage if needed, the process is very strict and involves quite a few people at Bachmann and the club, so rest assured it'll be top notch. Once again, thanks for the continuing orders! Alex 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Paul Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Right, so there we are! The 37th Derby show gets a class 37. Not just any 37, this is an MMRG 37! Haha. I'm pleased to report the model went down very well today, with sales as expected. I imagine there will be plenty left by Monday, but anyone who wants one or more of these locos please declare your interest and let us know as soon as possible via the online form on our website www.mmrg.org.uk from Monday onwards. Or feel free to get in touch with myself and I'll happily do it for you. But I must stress, register now if you want one as demand will be higher than usual for this one..and I'm not just saying that. No cash or deposit up front, we'll get in touch when payment is required upon delivery of the models. As an aside, by popular request there are now three extra options, but you'll have to get in touch with myself by private message on here, or contact me through my website to arrange it. Option 1. Weathering, an extra £25. Done by myself to your spec, a proper job. Option 2. DCC sound fitting, an extra £140. Done by myself, using the latest Legomanbiffo Loksound V4 decoder and speaker. Option 3. Renumbering/renaming, £ depends on which one, drop me a line and I'll quote you. If you require any of these three options, get in touch with me directly after registering your interest first, and I will sort it out for you once the locos have arrived with us. As always, thanks for your support and help with this project! Alex Carpenter Smashing looking Loco Alex. Well done, I may well get one to run as a Tourist Special ? Can you do Extra Gloss finish with light weathering on the chassis ? Cheers, Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochnagar Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So another little update today, the nameplates are fresh off the Shawplan production line and will be on their long journey to China in the next week or so. These have been redrawn to ensure 100% accuracy, I think you'll agree Brian has done a great job. Once again thanks for your continuing support!

tractor_37260 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) 47/0s in Large Logo even the one with the large, unique Haymarket castle. I'm quite surprised Bachmann haven't yet made some of these as catalogue models Would you care to share "which" L/L 47/0 ? carried a unique large Haymarket Castle - was it perhaps 47 118 ? , one of the 5 up rated to Class 48's.
