martin_l_jones Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Looks very nice... And yes, they seem to have a good relationship with Bachmann, was KMC Bachmann retailer of the year a few years ago ? I was hoping to have had mine by today but no joy. It was sent Thursday must be snail mail... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very tempting! I notice the nuts on the axlebox covers have been painted yellow. Just the thing to emphasise turning axlebox covers.* I’d be tempted to add a touch of yellow to Dapol’s 59s, whether prototypical or not. * I realise that they don’t turn on this model.

Johnfromoz Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Recently stumped up for one of these in KMR's exhibition sale, before realising that it has the wrong type of cab side windows for this livery. Does anyone know if the correct two piece window frames (as fitted to various Bachmann 66) are available as a spare part? (Yes I will ask Bachmann, just checking to see if anyone here has done this mod? TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes I will ask Bachmann, just checking to see if anyone here has done this mod? TIA Hi John, I discovered last week there is an issue with doing this Unfortunately. Whilst rebuilding a 66 with this bodyshell I found the 2 part windows don’t fit as these were what I had to hand. The 3 part Windows fit a shell that has a raised plastic lip that is curved at the corners where the front part of the glazing fits nicely into. The 2 part glazing has sharp angles for the front pane which won’t fit and the 2nd pane towards the cab doors is smaller in height than the opening on this bodyshell too. Sorry it’s not a nice simple swap as I thought it would be for the model I was doing, but hope that saves you some time/money getting bits that won’t fit. cheers Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnfromoz Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hi Mark, Many thanks for this helpful information. It has indeed saved me a lot of mucking around. Will just have to enjoy Sorrento as is ( or scratch build window frames which would be tedious). Might be an aftermarket opportunity for someone as more and more 66’s get the new windows. cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
