Steve S Those days have gone. Starvation is over. A few weeks ago rails were discounting them to c£120 new, theres new 45041’s for £125 on ebay. Despite the wild predictions of global demand, its 1 peak type in 1 livery... once everyones bought 1, thats it... the rest will take a while whilst the +1’s think about it. Whilst a lovely model, class 45’s are just not as popular as EE diesels. 45/1’s I suspect we will see a similar “peak” in demand before sitting around if too many are made.

woodenhead Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Or perhaps people are waiting on Heljan's attempt before deciding, buying a single Bachmann as a banker in case the Heljan one isn't to their taste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 2 older ones that are a complete pain with Kadee's and some of the current prices may tempt me to sell the old ones and upgrade if the NEM issue is corrected.

Steve S The discrepancy in price will be due in part to the fact there are two generations of Bachmann Peak, the original which used the original Mainline/Replica body on a new central motored chassis and the later, completely re-tooled version. The earlier version can be identified by the fact that the buffers are incorrectly mounted on the body rather than the bogies. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also consider that on first released of the new tooled version, the cab nose seam line was missing, which puts downward pressure on price... I used s/h 45114’s for chassis upgrades on my older Replica/Bachmann ones, worked out less than £15 a go at one point.. just lob off the buffers from the old body, sell off the mainline chassis / 114 body.

Steve S I don't doubt the numbers you quote are correct, but they do seem to be towards the "daft" end of the spectrum. One thing I've been noticing in recent times is that a price one day is no indicator of a price for the same item the next. There are in my view still some real bargains to be had off ebay, provided one has a bit of patience. Even more so if chassis swaps, servicing and renumbering hold no fears!

Lovely modelling Phil, goes to show what can be done with the Bachmann model in the right hands. I especially like No. 64. Did you modify the centre headcodes? I've often thought they didn't look quite right on Bachmann FYE models but they look pretty convincing on yours. Apart from the cab window rain strip being of a continuous arc (which to be honest, is how it appears on the real thing unless viewed from close up), Bachmann's model looks like a peak. All that is required is some modelling to sort out the detail errors on certain variants - I have a lot of work to do on my fleet!!! From the samples shown, Heljan's new model may be more refined and have less common detail errors across the sub classes being modelled, but it will never look right to my eyes - especially with the almost 'EE' profile to the front cab windows.

I'd put money on them being exactly the same tooling. Unfortunately I can't see Bachmann revisiting the different peak variants and brining them up to scratch. A lot of customers won't even know the nose end grilles / lamp irons are wrong. It's taken them long enough to revisit and upgrade the much in demand marker light peak, and even then they went for the 45/0 rather than a 45/1, and with no upgrade to the chassis / buffer beam detail.

andyman7 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 45060 is a split headcode peak. The catalogue number is the giveaway, it is 32-677B, 677 being the serial number for the split headcode blue version from the current tool set. 32-677A was 45 120 (no alterations being made to reflect the ETH numbered version chosen; 32-677 was 45 053, the final Class 45 to retain split headcodes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too difficult to do 44009 if you really have the need! Olivias Trains do the side grilles, see below for my effort at 44010 in green, and spare bodies are often available on the likes of Ebay, so you could cut and shut a new bonnet end . I do still need to add nameplates to my effort, plus a bit of black card behind the grilles. My starting point was a 44008 bodyshell in blue, and I've scribed the missing line round the top of the bonnets. Also added the central watertank made from plasticard. John.
