Bachmann 150/2 Regional Livery

Recommended Posts

Hi :D

Just received my Bachmann 150/2 which I think is quite 'stunning' what a wealth of detail! Pity about the 'motor unit'with no apparent seating! May do something about that :)

It might just fit in with my layout as the theme goes right up to the 80's - don't care - I'm running it anyway!

I also intend to change the destination and replace branding with ScotRail.

What do others think of it?

Picked up it's "Little brother", the N gauge version at the weekend. Biggest problem is it's so much of a quantum leap from the older models they just look crude and clunky by comparison. Stuff that's still in the Bachfar catalogue is like 80s Lima by comparison.

RMweb member Pete Harvey has developed an etch for false seating to add to the motor coach, following someone on here who did the same with plasticard. It looks very effective. His products can be found at http://www.phd-design.co.uk/page6.php. I shall be putting in an order with him for a few bits once the UK postal service becomes more stable ;)

has anyone been able to remove the motor block in a class 150 and replace it with something smaller. Im just wondering about being able to get seating into both compartments and lights fitted into the coaches. Seems a shame to only do one coach....

 

Hi - I didnt fit interior lights - but removed the cast chassis block and added seats - details and pictures here:
