These really do look the part. 

 

In terms of purchases, it is small tank locos only for the foreseeable future. 

 

Peckett B2, Adams B4 and 1P to name three.......

Looks like they are doing real justice to what is IMHO a very elegant prototype. Looking forward to one arriving on shed.....

According to the availability page, these are currently due in June 2020. Price still TBA.

 

Isn't that more or less when the TMC NER O is due? A glut of 0-4-4Ts. (Two of this wheel arrangement definitely qualifies as a glut!) I'm reckoning on putting aside £25 a month towards the pair.

Just been notified by Hatton’s that my pre-order for the 1P has been cancelled.........

That'll be because Hattons are no longer a Bachmann stockist.

Hi Andy. The same thing has cropped up on other threads. Perhaps the one you linked should be pinned with an update to the effect that the parties appear to be no longer trading with each other?

I was having a rewatch of the Bachmann Andy York video from last year and in the big folder that Bachmann have compiled on the loco, it caught my attention that they had included close-up photos of the Johnson smokebox door variant.  Hopefully this is a good sign that this early variation has been catered for in a future model?

Midland Railway livery sample in the Members lounge at Warley today. Looks stunning. Hopefully someone will post a few pics later.

 

Photos tomorrow on World of Railways. As a courtesy to the members of the BCC, they ask that people don't post photos until after the show.

Not posh enough for the ‘members only’ viewing but I thought the BR version looked very fine :)

Well worth the wait.

Come on Bachmann, how's about a SDJR Blue version... :D

 

 

It was explained a good while back that Bachmann understand perfectly well that the run of S&DJR 0-4-4Ts - the "Avonsides" were different from the 1532 Class in numerous points including some significant dimensions.

 

There was a solitary example of the 1532 Class, No. 1651 / 1305 of 1884, sold to the S&DJR in July 1921 to replace Avonside No. 54 that had suffered frame damage, taking its number. It was delivered in Midland red but lettered SDJR; it was subsequently (date unknown) repainted blue. When the S&DJR locomotives were taken into LMS stock in 1930, it resumed its old number 1305, with hand painted insignia on the blue livery - that would make for an interesting variation!  However it didn't last long in that condition, being withdrawn in September 1931. It retained a round-topped boiler throughout.
