Stevelewis Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The June issue of the 00-9 News monthly magazine of the 00-9 Society (of which I am a member!) arrived today..... the editorial comments on the Bachmann Baldwin 4-6-0s pre production models which have been seen at some shows recently, the editorial mentions the fact that production is 'limited to 750 pieces of each and already half are sold on pre orders' So interested parties may be advised to get their pre orders in!

Guest Midland Mole Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Well I have gone ahead and pre-ordered about half of the OO9 stuff I wanted, just in case I cant get the items I wanted from the shop. Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted June 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) I couldn't find a working link to the Bachmann video for the Baldwin on this thread, so I thought I'd post the youtube video link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uonh9U3GdWY&t=3s I love that valve gear. Its almost hypnotic to watch! Edited July 11, 2017 by Captainalbino 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yes it is hypnotic indeed! The way things are going the Baldwin is hot on the heels of Heljan's L&B 2-6-2T, which seems to be lagging behind its original delivery date promises by a long way now! One of the retailers I deal with advises me that he normally gets notification from Heljan 2 weeks before delivery occurs so that he can ensure his account is in order! But as yet nothing has been received. Re the Baldwin I think I am correct in saying that of the 4 variants only one has working lights fitted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Bailey Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Had the Baldwin running on my layout last weekend at the Quorn show on the GCR. The loco was also tried out on the other 009 layouts as well. Ran very smoothly and crawled along with no problems.I'll certainly be ordering one when they come out before Christmas they hope. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Very nice, and thanks for letting us know how they run. I am SUPER exited for these! Already have a couple of layout plans using them. Alex Edited June 25, 2017 by Midland Mole 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Phil Parker Posted July 6, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2017 We were told January at the press event yesterday, but they are working hard to beat that deadline at the moment. Look out for green boxes by the way, not blue for 009. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green boxes ! that will make a change, from a marketing point of view it is a very logical change to differentiate the scale, a sign perhaps that further 00-9 plans are possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachmann On30 Spectrum is distributed in dark green boxes. And speaking of larger scales a Baldwin 4-6-0T in 1/43 would be most welcome and could even be acceptable in 1/48!

Hobby Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Slip of the fingers no doubt but you probably meant gauge not scale..... Bachmann On30 Spectrum is distributed in dark green boxes. Technically both as their HOe stuff is in blue boxes so its both scale (HO vs OO) and gauge! If the US NG stuff is in green boxes perhaps they've decided to use green for NG, though I believe the US and European arms don't speak to each other very much!

The two branches of Kader seem to be allowed different philosophies when it comes to product design and marketing. Accuracy for the UK and whatever sells in large quantities highly discounted in price for the US. Maybe Kader could broaden the market by selling this narrow gauge line as HO scale through Bachmann USA which has never been too fussy about scale, fidelity or quality.

Floreat Industria Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I see that the availability on the Bachmann site has now changed from "Dec/Jan" to "3rd/4th Quarter". It sounds as if they might be here in time for Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floreat Industria Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 They've changed the dates on their site back to Dec/Jan! Virtually everything I've ordered seems to be being changed to a later date at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Message from Hattons delivery now APRIL - MAY 2018 Oh dear hope its not another L&B MW saga I shouldn’t think so. I expect Bachmann stuff these days to be decent quality but subject to considerable delays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I shouldn’t think so. I expect Bachmann stuff these days to be decent quality but subject to considerable delays. I quite agree, not had much wrong with any Bachman purchases over the last few years wonder if the 009 rolling stock will appear as stated in Jan?

bertiedog Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I was guided by a poster on RM to look at Bachmann's site to show when things were delivered, after having the temerity to ask if anybody knew about the deliveries of some coaches.....I have always noticed that Bachmann's site has an air of uncertainty about such information, and it has been creeping into all the forthcoming items, so may well include the Baldwin's delivery......Bachmann make Hornby's deliveries look lighting fast nowadays.

SDJR7F88 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Ah well, looks like they won't be hear for my Trench Railways first outing, but at least I got some more time to save for them If the prototype is anything to go by it should be well worth the wait Can't wait for livery samples to appear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 After talking to our rep two weeks ago, I am confident of Bachmann getting them out around Jan/Feb time. Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
