Jack P Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Contacted Bachmann, RE different liveries via their customer inquiries section. Nothing set in stone yet, but the person responding to my emails did say that they were looking into other livery options for future releases. Here's hoping a malachite green version makes it onto the scene! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping a malachite green version makes it onto the scene! Perhaps they'll do a malachite green one to commemorate the fifh anniversary of the announcement of the H2. A way of saying thanks for your patience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2017 The malachite only lasted for a very few years before BR black replaced it. Whether enough people model the post-war scene is something Bachmann will be assessing, no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack P Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I would think there would be enough of a market, even as a limited release. Plus it would be a gorgeous looking loco... Edited April 13, 2017 by Jack P 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted April 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2017 I would think there would be enough of a market, even as a limited release. Plus it would be a gorgeous looking loco... How about in Malachite and all the lining but with BR numbering in sunshine and still with Southern on the tender ala 32424, whilst 32422 gained British Railways in sunshine on her tender tempting stuff...

bertiedog Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Not old enough to have seen them in Southern livery but as a kid, saw some in the mid 50's just before final withdrawal, a very handsome engine indeed, but in a run down state at the time. It was, I think, at Brighton that I saw the locos, but cannot be sure now. Any Atlantic looked good at speed, impressive for it's size. I wonder how Beachy Head, the new bluebell line one, is coming along now, must look it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst shredded at 75A they worked the daily return Brighton - Bournemouth working on occasion .I have a photo somewhere of one with a train of crimson and cream Mk 1 stock on this working.

Collectors Club or NRM Locomotion a fair bet,I reckon.I'd be surprised if they don't,given their track record with the Director D11,L & Y tank,Wainwright C,GCR J11,E4 etc...."pretty" models sell.....

Edit : though in the case of the E4 tank,they didn't. That's helpful. With the E4 didn't they do the 'as preserved' Birchgrove livery for the CC? I suppose I had better join, because an umber Atlantic is not something I'd want to miss out on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Edit : though in the case of the E4 tank,they didn't. To my mind, one of the greatest mysteries of the Universe. An Atlantic in NRM glossy umber? Wow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 To my mind, one of the greatest mysteries of the Universe. An Atlantic in NRM glossy umber? Wow! Bachmann released the E4 in true pre-grouping LBSCR colours as part of the first run in the main range. They then did, the following summer, Birch Grove (473) as preserved on the Bluebell as she was at the start of this century. This Bluebell livery is something of hybrid, using later LBSCR colours but earlier nameing while the physical condition of the loco itself dates from post grouping eras. So you can only run the model covering a brief period in preservation (she carried a similar livery in the late 60s, early 70s but numbering style and other details are quite different). Now if Bachmann's is coming out at xmas (I suspect early 2018 in practice) then a club version would follow in the summer of 2018. It would be pointless to join the club now. You could join the day they announce it. I have myself joined the club previously and brought a club model within the same day. So you will have time.

Hopefully there's a bit more to it than joining for just the club models or am I being naive here ? I know it divides opinion on this forum and offends egalitarian principles for some. I quite enjoy the calendar that sits on the wall over my pc as I post this.This month it's a print of the Festiniog Baldwin announcing Bachmann's imminent arrival on the ng scene.You get a free Collector's wagon,a catalogue and a decent magazine at intervals throughout the year and a "Members Day" at different heritage ralway venues in addition to the models for sale to members.Then of course there's the VIP "lounge" (aka Frequent Flyers Club) at a number of shows during the year....this being a bone of contention for some,particularly those more used to the usual melee for returns at the NEC last November and who consequently went into catatonic shock and withdrawal symptoms when they were denied access to its replacement.Maybe Bachmann will decide to soothe "hurt" feelings on that one......... I have never regretted joining. Edited April 20, 2017 by Ian Hargrave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I have never regretted joining. Nor have I. I have only been to two of the Members’ Days and they are amazing. A daughter is getting married about the time this year’s is due. I’m trying very hard to persuade the pair of them to elope. No luck so far. It’s as bad as the Mothers’ Day Ally Pally collide.

I have never regretted joining. Personally, I don,t like my office being cluttered with catalogues and magazines, like wise the free collectors wagon rarely fits in with what I model and becomes something I need to dispose of. Calendar is good though! For Magazines, I switched to electronic format. So yes, in the 2 years I joined it was for the club model (Bluebell and SECR are two of my main themes).

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted August 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2017 September's issue of 'Railway Modeller' has a feature on Bachmann and status / updates of new models listed in a table, and the H2 is there--placed last in the list with a date assigned--with an estimated UK delivery of Feb 2018. Apols if this is 'old news'... but it was news to me! all the best, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubes Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I changed to 0 gauge some years ago because I couldn't build decent models in 4mm and the manufacturers weren't producing the prototypes I wanted.

Bluebell Model Railway Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The date for the Atlantic, was moved backwards due to something to do with tooling of a particular part believe it was something with the Splasher, this was noted at the Bluebell Railway's model event back in June? Which is the reason for the revised date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockershovel Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) I do think Atlantics are very stylish locos all round. The last, greatest Edwardian locos with the panache of the "singles" and pointing the way to the Pacifics to come.
