Isambard Smith Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hmm, they've got my payment details but they havnt actually processed the payment yet. But I got confirmation email of the preorder and I can check it on my rails account as pending... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2020 As most shops only received them on Friday it will take the bigger shops a few days to process as they probably got a full pallet of various Bachmann items. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Rails of Sheffield, it would seem the BR ones were near the top of the pallet-load and they haven't yet dug down to the red ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're all waiting patiently, I'll just nip back to the debate over the pronunciation of clerestory. The other evening I was watching the Ealing classic Kind Hearts and Coronets. Alec Guinness in the role of the Rev'd Lord Henry D'Ascoyne, describing the architectural features of his church*, pronounces the word as cle-REST-ory. Difficult to argue with that, I think. *"The bosses to the pendants are typical." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespetts Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 These things seem to be selling out everywhere, and selling out on pre-order in a number of places. I am wondering whether to get enough of them now for a layout that I am planning to build in the future that will require several of these... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that - the trouble is predicting whether that will be before or after required for the future layout. Given that the layout in question is behind one and a half larger layouts in the queue, perhaps it can wait - but there is real uncertainty and the small question of inflation, too.

If they sell this well I don't imagkne it will be too long until they come back, but likely it will be a different variant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the gamble, no doubt they will crop up on eBay etc trying to predict availability in the future is pure guesswork. Personally if they are that important I’d get one or two now and wait for more hopefully later. That has worked well for me on other projects where they never reissued a loco 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespetts Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 A complex question indeed; my planned layout requires exactly 3 of these, preferably of the condensing type, not represented in the current model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton961 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 My understanding is that Hattons no longer sell new Bachmann. I had to order my 94xx from Rails. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, it’s shown on the Club website as “in stock soon”. “Soon” is fairly meaningless as some retailers use it when a model is announced and is years from arrival. They should have arrived with the rest and I imagine the club being knee-deep in the things, struggling to insert certificates and send them all out.

Yes, indeed, the BR version has condensing, but not the MR version. Perhaps Bachmann will produce MR liveried condensing versions in the future, as worked over the Widened Lines; but that is highly uncertain, of course. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Law of Sod states the best way to ensure they make the version you want is to buy your required three of the current version (bird in the hand) with a view to modifying them if necessary once the new layout is proceeding. If Bachmann then make what you really want, loads of other people will belatedly want what's gone and you shouldn't have any trouble moving them on. Mind you, judging from some other posts, finding three of the MR version (unless you want sound) will be quite a good trick. John 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted December 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 7, 2020 I see that the lining out of the tank fronts has been corrected compared to the pre-production shots - gone is the concave yellow line around the handrail socket. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted December 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 7, 2020 Also these are the first photos I've seen where the interior of the rear of the cab can be seen, particularly the angled bunker front which looks to be right but not the convex curve of the rear spectacle plate. That's a very tricky area to interpret from drawings; it took me a good deal of headscratching to work out what was going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
