Bachmann Class 47

[Waverley West]

Yes, it was before they started using the Loksound Select chips; not sure if it was V3.5 or V4 though.

 

Judging from this...

 

http://www.rmweb.co....-chip-versions/  

 

it's v4

[pheaton]

The general consensus is that all Bachmann factory sound locos are now loksound selects

[Hilux5972]

Just had an email from Hattons saying the new West Coast Class 47 is due around Nov-Dec this year. Looking forward to it.

Bachmann must be producing another batch of different 47s as the LL 47444 and RfD 47209 are showing on the Bachmann website at due around the same time. I wonder if there'll be other limited editions at the same time? Perhaps including the regional rep. versions? Wouldn't surprise me...

the last I heard was the regional rep ones were due September, but I dont know if thats slipped a little

[class37418stag]

Look forward get class 47209 Railfreight distribution by Dec/Jan but unknown when arrive of class 37049 trainload coal sector?

[brushman47544]

I don't know if anyone else has been counting, but with all the various limited editions and standard releases, there are currently - if my records are correct - some 27 different Bachmann Class 47s available to buy new (including on pre-order) at present. This seems an awful lot for the market to bear at the same time, so I wonder how long they will take to sell out, and therefore how long before we can expect to see other liveries being produced:

 if my records are correct - some 26 different Bachmann Class 47s available to buy new

 

I've picked up the 2 Scotrail L/E's over the past month for obvious reasons, but glad that I'm not that much of a 47 fan so none of the others are of interest. I'm still recovering from Heljan's block release of Class 26's last month as my credit card statement has just arrived. Did I really need to buy 11 of them ?

47436 is still available a few places as is Windsor Castle, Fire Fly..

 

Got to admit though, last time I saw so many OO gauge 47’s on the shelves, they ended up selling at £19.99

Sadly those days are long gone.......... a price tag of £199.99 is fast approaching.....makes 0 gauge look all the more tempting...............

[adb968008]

Aye, they said that then too.

They wanted £39.99, predicting a price tag of £49.99 fast approaching, before they dropped to £19.99.

Indeed I seemed to recall 47701 as a limited edition set the new bar on prices that time too.

 

 

They were right though, they did get to £49.99, it just took 25 years, 2 bankruptcies, 1 change of distributor, a change of ownership and relocating the tools 5000 miles, plus a new DCC ready chassis.

 

Even now for the most part.. Lima stuff still is £19.99 second hand.

Anybody know where the gen is on ordering proper fuel tanks from bachy for the 47/0s is ?

 

Every time I look at 47104 ( from 035 ) it hurts my eyes now, as do those class 57 loops on the bogies, I may have to cut them off....

Give them a ring on 01455 245575 or e-mail service@Bachmann-europe.co.uk.

 

I phoned them back in September last year and a very helpful lady called Jennifer made sure she got the correct part for me (stock code is ASM5, I think). The spare parts are linked to a specific model, so if you ask for underframe tanks for 31-659 you will get a set of original style tanks which are pre-weathered; but if you ask for 31-659DS you should get an unweathered set. That is assuming they have them in stock, of course.

 

The cost was £7.00 including postage.

Thanks Kevin,

That’s good info, thing is of course, some of the new ones had dodgy tanks and some didn’t ...so I’m not sure if they’ll get me the right ones

Thanks Kevin,

That’s good info, thing is of course, some of the new ones had dodgy tanks and some didn’t ...so I’m not sure if they’ll get me the right ones

Exactly what I thought, which is why I got them to send me a photo of the part they were proposing to send me.

[rob D2]

Finally got round to replacing the baseplate on my 47,

Comparing this one with the latest release (47001), it doesn’t seem like there has been much progress since 47035 came out

 

Are these the 57 bogie parts ( blue arrows ) as they are still depicted on the photos of the latest one ? Has anyone snipped them off if they are the wrong bit ? I’m sure I’ve seen bachy ones without these...

 

 

 

And of course we have fuel tank scandal ....and as we know some of the recent ones have the wrong ones too

 

 

 

 

Seems a shame to perpetuate mistakes really....

I notice the new baseplate didn’t have front steps on it, these appear to be stuck to the body now but there has been problems when they have been stuck to both body and chassis

Edited April 15, 2018 by rob D2

[class37418stag]

I will get a ViTrains model or two if they release some in railfreight subsector grey (construction or metals). Just something about the ViTrains model for me though in relation to the chassis and the paint jobs that makes it fall short of the new Bachmann examples.

 

With regard to the detailing parts on the Bachmann loco, does anyone know what these are and where they go? There are eight included with the models:
