RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 O for crying out... calm, Johnster, calm now. Can't see where it states this on the 'availability' link, which is about models just released so far as I can make out, although perhaps I am missing something, wouldn't be the first time... The online catalogue is still showing the same prototype photos that have been up for a few years now, though we know progress has been made because we've seen photos of the engineering samples. At least the price hasn't gone up yet. Being put back from May to September isn't on it's own that much of a deal, of course, but given Bachmann's poisonous reputation for long lead times and the damage it must be doing to the company's image, and that this loco will have been over 5 years since the announcement, it is certainly a bit of a disappointment! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 In any case no use to me; like all previous 94xx models it's only capable of representing 9400-9409, the GW built locos, not the 200 BR built versions that do not have the cylinder cover between the frames ahead of the smokebox above the running plate. This is a very difficult conversion to attempt. To be fair to Locomotion, they are marketing the 'National Collection in Miniature', and 9400 is the only valid prototype in the class for them. 3 hours ago, Miss Prism said: The Bachmann website gets progressively worse.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2019 As we say in South Wales, tidy, like, innit? Maybe a trick of the light but it looks to me as if 9487 has separate, possibly etched brass, number plates, whereas 9402 has the usual printed ones. Mine will be renumbered in any case as 8448, which wasn't built until 1954 and has black backed number plates, but if this is the start of separate brass plates being fitted to RTR models, I applaud it!

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) None of mine ever have, and I haven't noticed this on models on display in shops either. Nameplates perhaps, but not brass numberplates on GW models. The photo of 9402 is more like what I am familiar with. As much as I applaud the idea, this would be conditional on the plates being removable, and I am in practice happy with printed plates which can act as a positioning guide for my own retrofitted brass plates. Mine has to be 8448, built in 1954 and allox to Tondu from new, spent it's entire short working life at the shed and withdrawn 1959, AFAIK the only loco that spent an entire working life there and thus the seminal Tondu loco... I already have the plates on my current 94xx, a Limbach, which will be replaced by the Baccy when it turns up. Red backed number plates are wrong for a 1954 built loco anyway, but fine for 9487.

I think the pictures that have since followed have answered this ? 9479 doesnt have a plate covering the section between the frames beneath the smokebox ? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
