Butler Henderson Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 31-150 Jubliee Silver Jubliee was a split chassis model not current version so its possible they may release it again as it would not be the exact same model as before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready-motorised Underground trains would be an obvious one - EFE already have the tooling for the bodies so just up to Bachmann to provide chassis.

60800 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The Silver Jubilee set could be 2509 / 2510 / 2511 or 2512 with a matching rake. You'd think that if it was that, with that price tag, it would either be a new tool A4 ( very unlikely) or finally a proper articulated Silver Jubilee rake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Lots of things I don't need - but are highly desirable. Bachmann on the money with some of these train set choices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bachmann missed a great opportunity with their new chassis. I have "William Whitelaw" on the workbench for a client and am marvelling at how nice running the new chassis is. It's as good as the new V2 chassis and has just two minor drawbacks. One, only pickup on the driving wheels (though this hasn't been an issue as yet), and two, the motor/gearbox combination is ridiculously large under the body shell. Here, Bachmann could have taken an opportunity to retool the A4 and put the same chassis under an A3 Pacific. Why would I suggest duplication though? Simple fact of the matter is there aren't enough A3s coming to market through Hornby, and, like the 08 diesel, the Thompson B1, the standard 4MT, the 9F and a few other models including some forthcoming coaching stock, the Gresley A3 is one of those models everyone needs in their catalogue - they sell. The A4 body shell and tender need to be binned, but with the new standard tender coupling employed on the Bachmann A4 chassis, they could in theory very easily tool up a non corridor streamlined tender to go behind it. They are partway there with the Darlington built A1 tender after all (just remove the electric lighting). A new body shell to fit? Well, they haven't done it for the A4, the V2 or forthcoming V1/V3 so at this stage of the game I think it's fair to say we won't be seeing a new body shell A4 or any of the older ex-LNER models retooled any time soon. There again, we did say similar things about their class 40... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pack has been produced to commemorate the 25th anniversary and contains a OO scale Jubilee and a Class 47 in a metal tin with a numbered certificate. £249.95 RRP" The same locos will also be offered in N, no details of liveries and numbers assigned for either loco.

RMweb Premium SHerr Posted February 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2014 Highlander set very tempting but would be useful to know if Bachmann will be producing any extra coaches to top up the sets (like I believe Hornby have done in the past). Also as suggested earlier, limited edition class 101 observation saloon for someone?? Mind you this is going to hurt those trying to sell the Model Rail 4 coach set for £200+ on eBay.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's good to see Bachmann producing Train Packs at last, i.e. without track and controller. But I'm not sure about the relative pricing. The Train Packs seem more expensive relative to content than the Train Sets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is anybody selling them on Ebay? I can't find any. Also, I did investigate the 101 obo car a while back but it would have been a Hornby (ex-Lima job and I seem to recall it required a body/chassis swap which wasn't possible). Likelihood of Hornby and Bachmann paint colours matching was also a possible issue. Also Hornby minimum is 1,000 and we didn't believe there was sufficient demand. Might be easier with a Bachmann 101, however. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted February 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Station Jim would be a good set, the locos are beautiful in that, it was a TV Xmas film a few years ago, never seen it on DVD though. I see Hornby have released Silver Jubilee set with wrong coaches again. I like the WW1 set with the tanks and the Ambulance train, and who does not like the railway children?

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted February 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2014 They look fantastic, might get the "railway children" one. They are also releasing N gauge ones, http://www.Bachmann.co.uk/details.php?id=161&vis=2 I'd rather fancy the Longmoor one if they did it in OO!

exet1095 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm with John on the Longmoor one! They have all the bits in OO, and one of my earliest memories is the last Longmoor open day.

Jenny Emily Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Sir Guy Williams in LMR blue was done in a wooden box as a commemorative set a good few years ago(ref: 32-250), though the midland compound set proves that Bachmann aren't against rereleasing an item when it suits.

Paul.Uni Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm hoping that if Bachmann don't announce a coach pack to add to the Shakespeare Express train pack that someone will commission one. At least two MK2 TSOs and a BSO in chocolate and cream would give a believable Tyseley set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The Highlander set looks great, but it would be nice to see an Inverness Large Logo Class 37/4 that doesn't have sound and therefore make it a bit more affordable at some point too though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mi-go-a-go-go Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Been looking into the whole ambulance train and have quite gone off the Bachmann pack. Maybe when more details come out with preview images I may change my mind. I am quite envious of the N gauge landships set with the tanks now.
