NRM Official Source Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks David for keeping all informed regarding the outstanding models Robinson 1185 limited run of 500 The outstanding 320 pieces were stuck in the backlog of the shipping fraternity, from the weather conditions over the festive period. Hurry though as I know that 90 pieces were sold yesterday. http://www.nrmshop.co.uk/models/product/304818/Bachmann-robinson-o4-locomotive-no-1185.html The NRM are very grateful for your purchases. Every purchase supports the National Collection. Although it would be even better if you all came and visited the NRM - lots on & lots happening over February half term for those of you with Children (Hogwarts Express rides - & Wizardry goings on) BIG thank you.

Jenny Emily Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 If 90 were sold yesterday alone then I think that that is a very good sign that demand may be there for pre-grouping liveried RTR stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Jackson Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I know this is a shameless plug but if you shop via http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/maltesephil (enter nrm in search box) you get 12% cashback on purchases at nrm shop. (I'll donate any refferal bonus to the nrm) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intruiged. Where does the 12% that you get back come from? Is it from the NRM's portion of the sale price or is there some loophole in the VAT?

Not that I see anything wrong with NRM prices as such, they;re not competing with the box shifters afterall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spet0114 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but, having always been a sucker for pre-grouping RTR models and having lusted after this one for a good while, I finally landed one on Wednesday, courtesy of everyone's least favourite online auction site. The price was extortionate, but I don't care - it's one itch well and truly scratched! Now I just hope it survives the post....and gets here before the next club running night! :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just hope it survives the post....and gets here before the next club running night! :-) I like your “to pot with it all, I’m getting one” attitude. It’s a lovely model. Bachmann also did a nice J11 in GCR livery and a triple pack of GCR wagons (one of which is actually grouping era). As if to make up for that, a private owner wagon marked “GCR” has also been produced. A GCR brake van would be nice, please, Bachmann. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewwaite1 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I paid quite a bit for the same model on Ebay a few years ago. I did, however, pick up a brand new Butler Henderson and the GCR liveried J11 when they were available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Can you point me to a link or catalogue number - this is one that has passed me by.... It’s a private owner wagon discretely marked “GCR”. Out of stock at Hatton’s but pictures at: http://www.hattons.co.uk/60912/Bachmann_Branchline_37_162_8_plank_end_door_wagon_in_R_W_Hill_Son_livery/StockDetail.aspx The Model Centre has four if you decide that the “GCR” is not too discrete.
