Paul.Uni Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I just noticed that there is a new image of the model on the Bachmann website.

A bit of me thinks that this livery is a bit garish but I know I shan’t be able to resist it. A good move on Bachmann’s part to bring it out when there’s so much interest in Army models. It should sell well; a bit of a missus pleaser (assuming a reasonable missus!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyA Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 As an aside, it is interesting to see that Bachmann describe it as Era 5/6 when it is actually the early part of Era 4. It was converted to oil burning before the June 1950 Open Day. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I have mine here.It's a nice model but in a darker blue than the limited edition Sir Guy Williams. For some reason I am unable to upload a video clip of the 2 locos from my phone.Pete Edited April 14, 2018 by Stormbringer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovbulleid Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I have one too. Re the colour I’ve looked in Vol 3 of The Longmoor Military Railway- a new history, and there doesn’t seem to have ever been as standard shade of Longmoor Blue or green, which makes the fact that my 08, S100, DJM austerity, Hornby Austerities, Bachmann Sir Guy and 79250, and Mk 1 suburban are all slightly different shades even more accurate! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyA Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I have one too.

My information is that Major White who was Officer i/c Paint Shop from 1962-4 noted that the blue paint, at that time Oxford Blue, had a tendency to fade. He conducted an experiment with various makes of paint by painting sample sheets of steel and leaving them on the roof of the paint shop for some months. The one that survived best was Dulux and this was used in future. However, I assume it was not totally immune to fading. I would expect Sir Guy, the 08, WD156, WD196 and the Mk 1 suburbans to have received the same paint. WD157 could have been in the same blue, depending on date. 79250 and S100 were much earlier, both having been withdrawn in 1957/8. It is therefore perfectly reasonable that all models are different shades but they all represent different dates between 1948 and 1969 with very limited overlap. For example, I believe only WD156, WD196 and the 08 could have hauled the blue Mk 1 suburbans. The only solution is to invoke Rule 1. Tony 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
