Upgrading the new Bachmann 37
Southwich replied to Daddyman's topic in Modifying & Detailing RTR stock
Just a quick Question for you David, do you have any details on what you used to replace Bachmann’s bogie chains? Are you also able to take a photo of how you’ve attached Brian’s brake levers as well please assuming you’ve used those? I’m looking at my new tractors thinking that could be a nice upgrade. Thanks in advance, Will -
Next month or so all being well - we’re happy to accept suggestions in the meantime though! Kind regards, Will

153 looks class - great work! Kind regards, Will -
Just on this I have flown back to Australia over the weekend with three grids in my hold stored luggage and they have been protected perfectly. The cradle has worked really well and ensured there is not a mark on the loco nor are there any bits floating about in the box. Safe to say the box has done its job! Kind regards, Will

Grid and layout are looking great Tim! Kind regards, Will

Just saying there is significant offence going to be caused if my ModelU scan ends up with “copper” hair 😉 Pic attached for colours worn during the scan. Kind regards, Will

Even if it is out of era I’m hoping I’ve made the cab rather than my old man! Will

Slightly disappointed you didn’t say nice new 47 if I’m honest… 🤣

Thanks for your experiments James! Funnily enough I had a spare hour for the first time in quite a while so also did a bit of tinkering - first testing a triple grey shell: I used cotton buds and white spirit on both the tests. And then moving onto a 120 which is a donor for ‘078 in 2003 condition - removing all of the OHLE stickers and numbers: Ready for new numbers and OHLE stickers before weathering. I think it goes without saying that I’ve now invalidated my warranty though 🤣 Kind regards, Will

After a long week delivering Class 56s up and down the country we are pleased that all of our retailers have now received their models. Please get in contact with us or your retailer if you have any questions or issues with your Class 56s. Thanks to @P.C.M in Australia for sharing the below photos of his weathered model of 56008 on his excellent layout Llanbourne. We’re looking forward to seeing photos of 56s on layouts in the next few weeks! Kind regards, Will

Thanks for the feedback Peter. Can you please send us an email with your observations and we’ll look into it further? We felt that the all round performance benefits from going AIA-AIA on uneven track far outweighs the minimal impact of not having the centre axle driven. Hope that helps to explain our thinking behind the decisions? Kind regards, Will

Best course of action would be to call Rails to sort as they do have both EM/P4 wheelsets in stock. Although please bear with them if you can’t get through immediately as from Facebook comments they’ve been quite busy with the 56 dispatch! Kind regards, Will
-
They’re in stock with retailers already Mark! Kind regards, Will
-
Glad you’re pleased with 008! We changed the handrails on the final models to have a longer timespan for modellers. Should have blue handrails on the front of the loco and white handrails on the side. A quick Flickr search looks like bodyside handrails being white post ‘77 hence the choice to change from blue to white. Hope that helps! Kind regards, Will
-
Disappointed you haven’t weathered it already Tim if I’m honest 😉 In all seriousness thanks for your support - looks great on your layout. Kind regards, Will
-
We’re looking at sorting this asap but will be a few weeks or so till we can confirm (as you can imagine have quite a few models to get out!), but the intention is to absolutely supply DCC sound upgrade kits if we can! Kind regards, Will

Should do by the end of the weekend latest. C&M Models and Rainbow Railways competed today. Kind regards, Will
