You surely can't look at those models and think they are not worth the price Bachmann are asking. N Gauge next, please Mr. Bachmann!! Tom. Absolutely Tom, I’ve been praying for them to announce an N gauge one for years! Please hear us Bachmann/Farish! This is superb & am so jealous, if only I had the room for OO Lol Cheers, Mark 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are struggling for their existence right now with overhead costs to meet and bills to pay. The 37g is a worthy exception I am sure but please can we kick that box shifter phrase finally into touch.Look up at Little Dan’s post from Derails as an example. This is a small business run by enthusiasts which provides superb service..That is just one of a number which provide a source for all kinds of modelling necessities not just boxes . 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted June 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 18, 2020 Completely agree with Ian . Derails is a fantastic shop to deal with , in my case over the phone .And that level of service definitely should be supported. 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) I buy from my local model shops - one is about 30 miles away and the other one is a nice day out on a train away. While preservation societies obviously need support at this time (cheque in the post earlier this week) so do model shops some of whom have gone the long mile and more to continue supplying modellers during the lockdown period.

Markn Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Don't get me wrong, derails do provide a good service. I've ordered from them before and will do again. The box shifter comment was not aimed at them. There's so many model shops, many of which do provide an excellent service. Just my personal preference to buy locos where I can from preservation groups and heritage railways. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan is a greater than average volunteer at the Dean Forest Railway, and often puts this ahead of ahead business... if you visit there, you never know where you might find him... He even took time out from the shop to come say hello to me and my little one, on a rain sodden morning last october during a visit to the railway... and I mean soaking wet.. the was more water in Parkend than in the River Severn. we all have day jobs, but we all have weekends too. (I did ask if he thought the DFR would entertain a home to a 142 but he said everyone there laughed..so theres still room for improvement though).

RMweb Gold Derails Models Posted June 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Well thanks for the compliments guys, but I can't take all of the credit: there's a great small team here keeping everything going and they've done flippin' well given the circumstances and pressure they've come under over the past few months! I'm very proud to work alongside them. 6 hours ago, adb968008 said: He even took time out from the shop to come say hello to me and my little one, on a rain sodden morning last october during a visit to the railway... and I mean soaking wet.. the was more water in Parkend than in the River Severn. Oh man, what a day that was! Swear we had more rain that day than we did for the rest of the year! We took the Saloon didn't we, which was slightly pointless as the windows steamed up so quickly we couldn't see a thing! 6 hours ago, adb968008 said: (I did ask if he thought the DFR would entertain a home to a 142 but he said everyone there laughed..so theres still room for improvement though). However much I'd love to guard a 142 (automatic doors would be so much easier to deal with!), unfortunately the Class 108's we have would get jealous! Jokes aside, our DMU group have done so well to immaculately restore their 5 x Class 108 cars (one of which is an rare centre car) in my own opinion, they're more than capable for our MU demands. I may put the case for a full 2+9 HST forward though....... But this is about Class 117's and 121's so back on topic - with one of the new Class 117's on my desk, I can safely say they're a cracker! With the photobooth packed away, there's no photos to accompany this post but if you've got one on order, you're in for a treat! Ciao!

rodney21 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Really sorry if the answer to this question is elsewhere, but if it is I can't find it! Does anyone know what the destination displays are on the Bachmann 117's and 121's? The only reference I can find is that one end of the NSE 117 is 'Reading'. I could really do with knowing what they all are but especially the Blue/Grey versions of both the 117 and 121. Thanks if anyone can help.

Rodders Blue/grey 121 is Newquay and Par, blue/grey 117 is Oxford and Banbury. All I can find for NSE 121 is Paddington at one end and for the NSE 117, what looks like Gatwick Airport at one end.
