Guest Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 After all Bachmann and Hornby have competed in the steam market with their A1 & A4 models aswell as Classes 37, 40, 47 & 90 so why not either a 91 or as I suggested a 92. I would definitely by 1 of each if they were made and as I have a freightliner 66 I think a 92 in freightliner would be a fantastic addition to any loco fleet. Can't imagine it would fit in well within my fleet given it's heavy steam dominance. Sorry, but I wouldn't buy one if someone gave me the money. Not interested in 92's in any livery.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 25, 2015 A modern livery on an EXISTING Bachmann tooling ! Cheers, Phil. i dont think "mersey" is quite grasping the concept somehow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Based on Bachmann range, it could be GWR 57/6 DRS newest livery 57/3 or the anniversary livery 37401 large logo DRS sticker 66 AI 66 Powerhaul 66 Chiltern 168/3 FGW dynamic lines 150/2 Mind you, there have been some interesting repainted on class 08s this year too. Some good shout's there, but they've already done a 57 in GWR and I think a Powerhaul 66 is in the standard catalogue. A 66 in the new DRS logo would be nice or a 150 in Dynamic lines would also be most welcome.. Would 37401 have much of an impact as there have been so many Large Logo 37's released... How about one of these... https://www.flickr.com/photos/16645820@N06/16181736194/in/album-72157633484702592/ or one of these https://www.flickr.com/photos/16645820@N06/19347684599/in/album-72157633484702592/ Froth, froth.... then disappointment...

A 66 in the new DRS logo would be nice or a 150 in Dynamic lines would also be most welcome.. Nobody has yet done a 57 in the new GWR livery - they've done variants of First GW. Hornby have done the Powerhaul 66 - not Bachmann. Bachy are already doing 66434 with the simplified livery - I don't think there's any 66's in the 68 style livery though.

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted October 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2015 Bachmann are producing a standard Revised 66434 which is due to be released alongside Freightliner Powerhaul 66416 early next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It would be great to see what it would be like if they do. 6 axle powerful drive, opening cab doors, working pantographs actually wired to the motor without a roof switch so that no matter whether just the track is wired to represent the locos running in 3rd rail territory or 1 rail + OHLE the loco could be operated. Any thoughts guys. Yes. Why have it pick up from the overhead, but not the third rail...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT ( remove 57 comment) A 68 style 57/3 would be a good bet as it's another one that could be up for problems applying the livery, as previously alluded to.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted October 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hi Mick, I reckon a new style DRS livery 57 is a good shout, mainly because of what left my workbench not too long ago. (sods law etc !!) Cheers, Phil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Id reckon that the livery needs to be about a year old for it to be selected and then agreed upon, especially if there's a company involved. As a result I think it could be the new DRS livery, but on a class 47 instead. Outside chance - a WCRC machine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted October 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think that you might be along the right lines. No pun intended haha. However I doubt that the Revised/New DRS livery would be on a DRS Class 47 because 810 is the only one of the class that wears it and ViTrains have already produced a Limited Edition model of this loco in conjunction with Rail Exclusive. I would be tempted to say a Revised DRS 57/3 because 57310 was the first of the four currently wearing the livery (on a 57/3) to be unveiled in it and if I remember rightly this was over a year ago now. I think sometime in September 2014. The remaining three were then duly outshopped into the Revised livery. I think 301 was next, then 303 and then 306 last in January/February this year. That would provide a good enough time span to be able to seek permission from DRS and exchange paperwork etc. At the same time it could also be a Northern Belle 57/3 because these were also outshopped roughly a year ago. The 57/3 is an existing model and has been for some time and there are many options for further liveries as I have mentioned previously: DRS Revised, Northern Belle, DRS 20th Anniversary and WCRC Maroon that haven't as yet been produced by a standard manufacturer. Just a couple of guesses. It can't be anything too recent like GWR 57/6s because the first two were only outshopped a couple of months ago and I don't think there would be enough time to get authority and permissions etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 28, 2015 How about a Virgin Trains Class 90? See this post for further details. The key wording is It is also a re-livery of existing tooling and, as previously stated, represents a current day loco. The other major factor is that it is an existing Bachmann model Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
