martin_l_jones Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) What about a class 70 special , namely 70099 (now Colas rail 70801) in plain green??? This was brought up during the time of the last club release, they won't do it due to the flush cab sides and additional cooling panel, even though I'm sure they would sell really well in Colas, not so much in the Green IMHO though, I thought it was a bit drab, although it is most unusual.. A pair of GBRf 20's in the orange livery would be different, one dummy, one powered, there are lots of unusual GB 66's to pick from, the MSC boat one, the rainbow one, one of the tube map one's, or how about 66747, 8 or 9 or 750 in the grey or blue euro liveries would be fine.. . My only negative thought is will they sell though.. Edited November 18, 2014 by martin_l_jones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy P Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 ..... there are lots of unusual GB 66's to pick from, ....... the tube map one's,.....

159220 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 GBRf class 66 in London Tube livery.... well one of them anyway.... Interestingly, I asked the London Transport Museum if they would be doing these, considering the GBRf ones sponcer the museum. They said it was an excellent idea, but due to financial constrains they were watching how the Class 20s sold first. I bough both 20s to help them. Hopefully all sold out now and a lot of us as emailing the museum requesting the Tube 66s, as then they might just commission them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to knock the staff in the LTM I have often asked about certain books that have recently been published and told they don't have them only to find them when i have then looked myself.The best person to check with on models is Mike Wilson.

Adams442T Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just received a Collector's Club email from Bachmann where they say that people attending Warley this weekend can get a sneak preview of the new Club products by visiting the Collectors Club stand, A19. The next club magazine is due (they say) in early December. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I was really hoping for an exclusive livery of the soon to be released Class 150s. When was the last modern release? Was it Freightliner 66540 Ruby? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Warrior Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The three wagon pack is to go with S&DJR 4F. They were not available at Warley but I placed an order which I expect to receive later next week. The idea of a set of wagons to go with a Collectors Club loco worked well with the Grey C Class and I can see no reason why the same will not happen with this set. I got the impression that there will be a loco next time around, hopefully, of course, steam! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Jackson Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Which tooling ? The most recent ? AFAIK it is, see http://www.ehattons.com/68108/Bachmann_Branchline_32_700ZLN_Class_46_Peak_Diesel_Locomotive_97403_IXION_in_BR_RTC_blue_red_livery_Exclusiv/StockDetail.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45059 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Nope, sorry Phillip, Ixion is the old tooling. Quite why Bachmann haven't at least announced the flush front peaks with the new tooling is another of life's great mysteries... Having said that, I recently picked up a factory weathered (yuk!) class 46 D186, and I'm toying with the thought of it becoming 45106 in late 80's 'celebrity' green. So my guess is that next year the Collectors Club will announce... 45106 in late 80's celebrity green!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIAM Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Nope, sorry Phillip, Ixion is the old toolingModelzone's Ltd Ed Ixion is 100% the new tooling including the nose seam. Edited November 24, 2014 by WILLIAM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45059 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 WILLIAM. If indeed that is the case, then why haven't Bachmann released other flush front peaks as part of the standard range? Do you honestly think that Bachmann or any other mainstream manufacturer would alter the tooling of a model solely to produce a limited edition model, without cashing in on their new tooling by releasing other 'ordinary' locos from it's class in their main range? I think not. The Modelzone model of Ixion may well have the seam on the nose, but does it have working lights? No. Another give away is the box. The old type. The new tooled peaks, (of which the first to be released was 45053) came in the current style box. So it is of the same vintage as the model of Royal Marines which Modelzone also produced, (which also goes for stupid money second hand) ie. the older tooling.

WILLIAM Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Think there is some confusion over the definition of 'new tooling' here. I would describe it as the change from the old Mainline model to the Bachmann releases of 45041, Ixion etc. as that was the significant body retooling (albeit the nose seam was missed on the first batch), i.e. not just adding lights. I'm guessing others do too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) There has been a significant revision to the tooling since then too, not just limited to lights being added. I dont know whether the 'previous tooling' which catered for the flush front of which Ixion was one, is compatible with the current ones i.e. 45053, 45120, D186 etc. Edited November 25, 2014 by GordonC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
