SRman Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Will the translator coaches come with tension lock couplings on one end and Kadees on the other? One end will have inscriptions in English, the other in Chinese! Oddly enough, I was looking at a picture of one of the real translator coaches just yesterday and thinking that I could make one myself! How's that for coincidence?

Dicky W Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Are Invicta still releasing the breakdown coach that modelzone were going to release? Rich As far as we know, everything that was in the ModelZone limited exclusives list will now be produced for Invicta as one of the owners of Invicta was the developer of the limited editions for ModelZone.

RJS1977 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Though that information shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given that the 33-079 number is in Andy's OP from last September! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Emily Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Received mine today, and they look far better than I could ever make and paint from a kit, so I'm not complaining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I had forgotten that Invicta had asked for the photos KDW138238 http://PaulBartlett....raphs/e10552d85418631 http://PaulBartlett....raphs/e2ee86a8d http://PaulBartlett....raphs/e2676b8c2KDM417836 http://PaulBartlett....sopen/e3adba7bd So was surprised to receive the gift of a set in the post this morning. So here are the photos - don't shoot the photographer! They have done an excellent job of the finish, what a shame that the wrong wagon has been used!

Nigel N Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Noticed that the S&T 3 wagon set is now reduced from £35 to £23!!!! I bought a set when they first came out, but wasn't happy with the weathering, it seemed like someone had gone OTT wit the spray gun, and the lettering and different coloured planking was mostly obscured beneath a grey spray finish!! I eventually resold them on E-Bay...... Anyhoo, seeing as they are now cheaper, I have ordered another set.....................!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Whilst discounting of limited editions like this is irritating for people like me who paid full price (after having pre-ordered them at a lower price, then was told that Bachmann had upped the price prior to delivery) it can be great if you don't already have them. That said, it's probably indicative that limited editions are a difficult area to pick correctly, and with so many getting discounted now commissioners are at risk of having potential buyers playing a game of Chicken, waiting for the prices to fall before they buy.
