packetlos Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The amazing detail in new RTR makes the OO look like O and the N look like OO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Reid Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's good to see Bachmann have upped there game on the coaching stock front, not content to sit back on the Mk1s laurels (I think the TPO was a sign of that)...... Also congrats to Rails of Sheffield for the amount of work that's going in to getting the LMS twins just right - it's been a long time coming. Thanks for the info Andy. Bob.

RMweb Gold Adam1701D Posted November 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2012 Great to see how these models are progressing. The Class 55 in N is looking like a "must-buy", particularly with the plated-over headcode! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Nice looking coaches, at first glance. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think I might struggle to resist the C class despite it being the wrong scale and the wrong era at present - and the fact it's a kettle - of course that's assuming there's something for it to pull. I think I need to go and do a little research... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Shame I missed these in the flesh, so to speak... but thanks to Andy for posting this here to allow me to catch up over my breakfast. 40... yes that does look nice, Farish 55 looks good too. their my preferences, but all the others look superb too.... especially the c class and given that the real one's only 15 minutes away, I'll probably look into this too. Thanks again and I wish all rmwebbers a great weekend at warley... and i wish all traders a profitable weekend too. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The ultimate answer to the question..."Is there a future for 00".....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely stunning models, one loco is enough to make me have a 'funny hour for Diesels' ! Also it seems Bachmann has gone the extra mile and produced the Porthole Brake Third with sides overlapping the welded solebars...A first for RTR. The other is a corridor brake first, another RTR first I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26power Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks for the photos. Despite being a big fan of class 40s I've never bought RTR models of them because the available models have disappointed me. That might change now! First comment though is that the springs and axleboxes on the bogie maybe look a bit lacking in depth? Hard to judge I'm sure from a photo rather than the model, and without referencing photos of the real thing. Bachmann are to be congratulated on revisiting a relatively recent model. More wagon variety the better - this area is looking good! More progress with Porthole stock as well. Is the next step with coaches to overcome the rather odd appearance that comes around the edge of the moulding (visible on the sleeper pictures)? Thought I read somewhere that you wouldn't get that affect if the back of the moulding was flat, rather than stepped in and out? Positive news for modelling though!

Torn-on-the-platform Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Absolutely fantastic. We all knew the C class was going to be superb after the pre-production samples. All the stock looks incredible, though I'm particularly excited about the Dukedog, which is perhaps closer to production than I thought. Thanks for posting these photos Andy.

Bluebell Model Railway Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Developments look very good, was told to expect the Dukedog at warley and proved to be correct. Certainly interested to see the production model as the 9017 model, as the loco preservation in BR livery has the copper capped larger chimney, as well as all tthe other GWR stuff on it... be interesting to see what they do...

BernardTPM Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The Polybulk is nioce but it's not a Grainflow. The Grainflows were longer and had hinged hatches in the roof, not the swing top roof. The type modelled were actually about a few years earlier and were used for a variety of traffic (including the ever popular china clay). 10000 looks amazing. 50 foot Stanier BGs...

Bob Reid Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 So do the extra holes in the headstock of the sleeping cars mean not only do you get a buckeye coupler that can be fitted in the dropped position but also dummy vacuum bags and steam heat pipes? Good to see the Asymmetric Vee Hangers and outboard Vac cylinders, though the toilet bodylight "obscure" glazing is a wee bit on the extreme side..... Great work though.

Markeg Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks Andy for posting. I have the SECR C class on order and am looking forward to this. The Class 40 diesel and the Mk1 Sleeper re very tempting. Oh go on you know you want one. So I'll probably get one of each. The L&Y tank and LMS stock look good too.

Stanley Melrose Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The L&YR tank should have loads of rivets on the bunker sides and back . . . . Hopefully they will be there on the production model so we can count them. Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flapland Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well bang goes my 2013 New Years resolution to spend less. Looks like Bachmann are maybe reaching the same levels of coach quality as Hornby plus the 40 looks fab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gary H Posted November 24, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2012 Why is the 40 there? Has it been re-tooled or something? Excuse my ignorance here as ive been out of the UK RTR loop nearly as long ago the first Bachmann 40 was introduced! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl. H. Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 10000 looks amazing. 50 foot Stanier BGs... Agreed! 1970's N gauge parcels depot shunting plank is now not just possible but inevitable! Must sell off remaiming OO stuff! 10000 will be an interesting comparison to Dapol's model.

sagaguy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Must confess that i had to look twice at the quality of the models.For a moment,i thought that 10000 was Farish but i can wait,the credit card can`t take much more co i`m waiting for the Farish blue pullman.
