    Have you read the descriptions on Bachmann’s website, which tell you the features of each version?
  2. romley midland
    Perhaps the person at Bachmann was Bulleid into it..... I'll get my coat!

    The Bachmann website is a good place to look, according to which these have arrived: https://www.Bachmann.co.uk/product/category/866/lswr-cross-country-4-coach-pack-lswr-salmon-and-brown/e86011

    The Bachmann website says that it does: https://www.Bachmann.co.uk/product/class-37-0-centre-headcode-37305-br-blue/35-303

    Or the horse’s mouth; https://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2023/07/product-highlight-oo-scale-class-25/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=product-highlight-oo-scale-class-25

    Bachmann's website states that this is the case.

    There are no 'headlights' as such, the real locomotive didn't have any so neither does this model. The headcode boxes should illuminate though, although not very bright so it may not obvious they are lit, again just like the real locos.

    It does say in the description that they are non-working.

    It was announced several years ago so it’s not a new announcement and therefore would not be a part of the quarterly announcement of new products regardless of when it arrived

    There was plenty of Graham Farish on the shelves of the Signal Box in Anstey when I visited yesterday!
  11. romley midland
    Yes, it is, your very own post back in February this year states that Bachmann have confirmed it is.

    It says on the Bachmann website, lots of info on there in the product descriptions which can often answer many queries like this.

    Whilst it’s a little irrelevant for anything that’s sold out direct with Acurrascale, it is cheaper to buy direct isn’t it, so that would be my preference and surely the same for most people if price is the main consideration, as some on here would have you believe. As a consumer it’s hard to resist the cash back, credits, discounts on multiple purchases etc. which Acurascale offer and which presumably, independent retailers cannot match.

    Which I find surprising as the video seemed to explain it well enough to me and the Bachmann website gives pretty clear details about the model and it’s spec.
  15. romley midland
    Could it be down to the tungsten they’ve used for the chassis being more difficult to paint so it has been omitted?
  16. romley midland
    Who said anything about the development process being quicker?
  17. romley midland
    Is that the same Bachmann that have been announcing new stuff every three months for the last two years and generally delivering it within a three month window? But hey, why let facts ruing a good jibe!
  18. romley midland
    I thought Rapido owned multiple factories, and Oxford Diecast have one too don’t they, which presumably is now owned by Hornby’s by default?
  19. romley midland
    Given how few shows have been on since these were released it shouldn’t be too hard to narrow this down, my guess would be one of the sound guys like DC Kits or youchoons maybe? Indeed regarding DC, they’re not listed on Bachmann’s website but are selling the very model in question on their website with no caveat that it’s not new unless I’m missing something - if so it seems a bit questionable that.

    New hst

    romley midland replied to jonnyuk's topic in Hornby

    Just a thought but seeing as the same gent was at Crewe earlier in the series to check the colour of the APT, I wouldn’t be surprised if both visits were in fact a single visit filmed all at once which would make a lot of sense. I would think it likely that a lot of it staged for the TV show anyway. They would probably visit other sites if doing a serious job of a new HST, but for the TV show to have the same chap visit various places to see the same thing could get a bit boring pretty quickly I reckon!

    It literally says on their website what motor is fitted https://www.Bachmann.co.uk/product/lner-v2-4791-lner-lined-green-(original)/35-200

    It would appear that at least one member of senior staff has recently departed: http://toyworldmag.co.uk/news/richard-venner-leaves-Hornby-to-pursue-fresh-opportunities/

    Hi Roy, sorry I don't recall reading that anywhere. Is this a change of policy then as on Dave's own website he said: 'In co-operation with my distributor, each model locomotive will be personally hand checked by me for running ability, wobble, back to backs, lighting etc., before being sent out to the customer, so that when you receive your DJM locomotive you can be as sure as can be that it is in good health straight out of the box'. I don't recall him mentioning that he was in China whilst the 71s were being produced?
  24. romley midland
    Hi Dave, will your last minute trip east of Great Yarmouth (mentioned on the King thread) delay delivery of the 71s? I'm guessing you need to be at Kernow to check and test each model before they're despatched? You're stringent QC process must take quite some time to complete, I don't envy that task!
  25. romley midland
    Nice thought Les but I would expect that anyone who has the ability to fit the smoke units will have no problem relocating the speaker if necessary! Cheers, Richard
