Swifty11 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hello all, Anyone know when the Bachmann DRS thunderbird class 57/3 57309 'Pride of Crewe' (32-763) is coming out? It is showing stock order on the Bachmann website and has been for some time? Anybody know when it will be landing for sale? Kind regards, Tom EDITED: this was posted a long time ago when the release date wasn't available, see edited title. Model de for release July/Aug but may be pushed back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-farms Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Based on the "on order" status on Bachmann's website I doubt even they would know.100% when it will land. The only diesels listed with an arrival date is the 419 MLV (April/May) and the 101 (June/July) so it might even be after these. Once they leave the facotry I am sure they will appear under the "due in the next 60 days category" untill then you will just have to be patient and spend money on other things like LMS twins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent weeks of twiddling my fingers for diesels, I did indeed purchase a 10000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 9, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2015 Latest email from a well known Merseyside emporium states August & September 2015 for delivery of 57309 Almost as bad a delivery delay as the red team..........

steveb860 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks for the help! If only we had a smart allik button! I have only just seen this,and I think it needs a reply. In a similar vain, if only we had a "Not this question again" button. There are 3 questions which come up with monotonous regularity on here. " How do I wire this 3 way point for DCC", "How do you fix etched nameplates on a loco" and "Does anybody know when....". In fact the last on an almost daily occurrence at a time when it was well publicised in the media that all the major suppliers were having difficulties in production in China. All similar questions were answered to effect that not even the manufacturers could answer it, but still they came. If the manufactures don't know, then how can anyone else know? So not a smart allik ( your spelling!) answer but the only possible one, unless of course Mystic Meg is still in business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCAR6015 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ordered this item with Hattons mid year 2014. Had e-mail on 07/11/2014 advising likely delivery as: mid April/ mid May 2015 If the item arrives on its revised delivery date it would be approx 18 months for delivery from the date it originally announced ( March 2014? ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty11 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Oh dear, shame it's still a way off! Must be a busy production schedule I assume with the N gauge model out Thanks all for your help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping in posting a thread that someone may have a rough month from the manufacturer (I.e if they worked for a model shop) they may have known.

Butler Henderson Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Still the "Does anyone know when xyz will be available" is a pretty pointless posting especially with Bachmann as the likely delivery dates are stated in their website if they know.

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted September 13, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2015 Please could anyone tell me if the roof on the 00 Gauge Bachmann DRS Compass 57309 model is grey or black?
