Fluo66 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 No one has even mentioned the one I like? Charlie I am not sure but I think no one of us has mentioned a HST before. I thought about it yesterday as I have seen the price for the GWR variant. With £289 it is silly high compared to the £230 for a 156. The HST is a bit like a DMU (Charlie’s & Arran‘s specialty). But in fact it is a locomotive which is availabe in the market for years and comes in a wide range of liveries. Charlie, I think it‘s time to tell us which class you have in mind...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted May 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) I’ll second a class 104 DMU. Lots of liveries there, wide length of service and covered a wide area...from NE/NW to London, 300 cars built. It could be offered as a two car easily enough if there is sufficient demand, sell centre cars maybe as a crowdfunded commission ?

The GWR HST is not a good comparison price wise..... the Hornby standard range swift HST set due for release this year, with TTS sound is £229 through Rails....

FJ1701 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) How about a 3H Thumper, now that would be nice! Its a shame Bachmann never released a Blue/Grey version due to the 2 car not carrying that livery but I'm sure a 3 car variant would sell like hot cakes.

classy52 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 What model 'Diesel Locomotive' which is on the market and available today in the UK, do you think could do with 'Replacing' ? I thought this thread was about replacing a current model "diesel locomotive" as stated at the beginning or has it morphed into 'oh what the hell let's throw everything into the hat'.

Krieghoff Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hallelulyah What a fantastic thought. I super high detailed model of the class 37 and or 47. With all the super detailed features like engine room lights.............WOW. I would bet there would be a large number of people who would be interested in these models and paying for them as well. We are so accustomed to the usual run of the mill details from Bachmann and Hornby that produce to a price point but what about going beyond this ? Its possible and Hattons have already done this with the 66. I for one would give this a MASSIVE thumbs up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Charles is not moderating it very harshly - just the odd telling off every few months....... It is.

Shame Dapol did the 121/122 bubble car badly!! Could have had: Parking Reds at both ends. Optional white marker light. Working Headcode Box Seperate Cab Lights Seperate Interior Lights Proper seating Pre Fitted with a speaker and designed correctly for sound. DCC NRMA Compliant to operate with ALL decoders not just the Dapol & Zimo ones. Shame really as we had them on our list. Oh Well!

The Black Hat Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Wonder how events in the market are effecting Charlies plans to do a locomotive next? Now that class 66 is taken...and a Deltic too! What does that leave... 37? 47? Peak? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Paul Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Wonder how events in the market are effecting Charlies plans to do a locomotive next? Now that class 66 is taken...and a Deltic too! What does that leave... 37? 47? Peak? Knowing how Charlie, Arran & Bif are always in pursuit of "Perfection" I would Love to see them produce an updated class 37, followed by a 47, 45 and 40 !!! Now that little line up would be absolute heaven to a great many modellers/collectors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I've been racking my brain over a model that really needs to be updated to the sort of spec promised with this new Hattons 66 and the only thing I can think of that needs to be updated (much more than the current Bachmann 37 & 47) - is the 'Peak', Derby type 4 or class 45. If the variants such as the 44, 45/0 and 45/1 as well as the 46 could be catered for, I'm positive it would be a fair seller, despite the lower number of truly different liveries. They were a long lasting machine that served on virtually every type of train and in most areas. Quite a goodly number had names and they sounded great, what's not to like? Cheers, John.

Psiborg Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Class 20 - They have had a long lifespan with plenty of liveries (and it would be nice to get a RTR class 20 model with lighting for once!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone risk it with Bachmann doing the 20/3s? I'd be surprised if they'd not tooled for doing other variations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66738 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think after the 142 has been done (and the as new 143/144,) they might as well finish the lot off with the 141. Would love one. 3 different liveries to go at, and 2 front ends. Loved the look of the original West Yorkshire PTE Metrotrain Green/creamy white, but the front looked a lot cleaner/uncluttered after refurbishment with BSI coupler and the dodgy cable brakes binned in favour of conventional brakes. 66738 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
