deltic79 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 My transpennines arrived on Tuesday and they are superb as far as I'm concerned. I'm really pleased I ordered them I love the fact that the droplights on the vestibule doors have destination labels with Liverpool Lime Street being perfectly clear to those with sharp eyesight. I've not seen these on rtr coaches before. And the FK has a wonderful mix of original 'First' and '1' stickers in the windows. I see that the limited edition page in Model Rail states that a pair of TSOs will follow which is fantastic news so I'll be keeping an eye on the website and order some as soon as I can. Just the Mk.1 BG to release then .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think we'd like to do the Mk1 BG but Bachmann doesn't produce Mk1s and Mk2s at the same time, so it would have to be sold on its own. The destination labels are good, aren't they. I believe Ben gave them an actual destination label to copy. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To dark I think, it wouldn't be to hard to respray thr bottom part of the coach though. Cheers Peter. I recently bought one cheap from Modelzone with that in mind. The white band above the windows needs repainting as well. I've also got a Replica one and a Triang conversion, both in the correct livery so I'm well stocked for TP BGs. I was planning to also repaint a couple of the Regional TSOs in the same way (I bought an extra set recently when they were being offered at a reduced price for all four) but might not bother if Model Rail are planning to do more.

deltic79 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Can you use this bargain Mk1? http://www.ehattons....tockDetail.aspx Cheers, Mick I have one of these too, as a stop gap, until I either get around to changing the livery or acquiring a Replica one (almost bought one of these from them at DEMU Showcase but didn't have many pennies with me and spent them elsewhere in the end). But I'm happy to wait for Bachmann to run another batch of Mk.1s, Chris ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltic79 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I might have more luck posting this in a different area of the forum but does anyone know who might make the Transpennine logos in white please? I can only find them in black looking on the Fox and Railtec websites. I was thinking of adding them to an unbranded Bachmann Mk.2 in blue grey to add a bit of variety to the rake. I'm sure I saw an example on this on here that someone had already done but can't find it now despite searching. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Ah well. I guess that project must have been dropped. I can remember that Model Rail were going to do the WCRC 47 - even appeared in the Bachmann Collecter's Club mag saying one was to be done but a magazine was commissioning it and then Model Rail had eluded to it in parts as well - but this was a year or two, maybe more ago. What with the ammount of trains WCRC do, that and the fact that their engines are notoriously popular for modern image but not released by Bachmann in 47 (Vi trains did a 47 and Hornby but the Bachmann one is best - you must agree as your own limited eds are Bachmann), and now 57 form (as you did release the 37 and Heljan have a standard release for class 33) - putting those together for a double pack and a few maroon Mk. 1s could follow in the wake of your Transpennine releases. If however, your not going to do this then Id start the project of doing them myself. But Id rather not have it that you end up commissioning them following my raising the idea and then starting the job myself only to find them done as a limited ed later. Something to do with cutting turf and legislation that isnt it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I no longer have my finger on the pulse of what we're doing, so when I say 'no plans that I'm aware of" that doesn't mean there aren't any, it just means I don't know of any. Various ideas get kicked around and some don't take root for a very long time. We certainly did talk about a 47, and the 57 sold out so it would sound like a project with reasonable potential. We would be unlikely to do a pair, though, as it would be impractical for Bachmann to produce two different models at the same time. We also find twin-packs of locos tend to be too expensive.

CHRIS LEIGH DELTIC 79 - thanks for that, I had completely missed the one-liner about the TSO pack! As a standalone item I was not interested but with a TSO pack and possible BG as well it's now worth investing. My first pack arrived yesterday and they are well worth it. Big well done to the Team at MR.

CHRIS LEIGH Hello Chris, thanks for taking the time to reply. Is there any news or confirmation of plans. I agree with what you say about twin packs being expensive and giving you models for something that you only needed one for. WCRC im sure would be a great idea to follow up on. With 47s the likely most popular engines for the mass market. I ask as I am tempted to get the 57 at Hattons for a conversion to a WCRC machine, pending on your next reply!

No. We don't get given delivery dates. I think its probably the next thing we're expecting but no manufacturer gives delivery dates - the best they can usually do is a three-month 'window'.
