mikeylad100 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yeah loco's are still available for anyone else still wishing to purchase one. To compliment the Oxford Mk3's when they appear in ScotRail and of course the equally anticipated Bachmann DBSO later in the year. We are pleased to have some available for online sales for anyone unable to have attended the show or ...if someone just wants to buy another...

Just typical, I renamed and renumbered one of my sir Walter Scott’s, to Lady Diana Spencer.... so I see there are some Hornby models in there as well, was that a dealers cabinet for second hand stuff or was it something more interesting?

RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted February 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2018 Unbelievable really if you can still get them for £160 !!! They will hold stock for a while at that price, in turn meaning when someone wants one they will have new stock so can charge ridiculous amounts. Worst thing is people will pay it eventually.

kintbury jon Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Though with tax taken into account won't they lose out eventually? I am assuming that they bought them full price at £160. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two Bachmann renumbers, one to a weathered 47712 lady Di and the other an much cleaner 47708 Waverley (what else). Oh well am guessing we will be seeing a bit more of that pair. Mind you the more 477s I see at exhibitions the better as far as I am concerned. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well am guessing we will be seeing a bit more of that pair. Mind you the more 477s I see at exhibitions the better as far as I am concerned. To be honest, I was half expecting another main range release of another Scotrail 47/7.... the ebay prices are high and i’m Pretty sure with the Dbso’s (eventually) being released and the OR Mk3a’s close (hopefully pending some colouring matching) then there would have been plenty of demand for something to run with them.... I couldn’t agree more, mid 80’s Scotrail is something special.... many happy days spend in the freezing cold getting soaked to the skin on platform ends.... just wish I had a camera or video camera in those days to record my spots.....

I think Bachmann have made an own goal. They have made 47/7's in ScR livery only in OO gauge and releasing the DBSO's later this year. (along with the OR MK3's) However they have in their Farish range a 47/7 in BR Blue but nothing to run with them! But yet they haven't thought about releaseing in blue in OO which i think would be very popular, given that they are releasing MK2F's in B&G and the DBSO. Thoughts??

I'd be surprised if we saw a main range Scotrail 47/7 in OO again for a few years ... assuming 47712 comes out in some form then I'd think they'd want to see how things settle down again after 47708 being released here. They wont want to flood the market with different options. However a BR Blue 47/7 or one of the large logo ones 47711 or 47712 would be a good choice especially with the DBSOs and Mk2Fs in Blue and Grey. If I were placing a bet I'd think 47711 in large logo if 47712 is appearing in Scotrail livery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted February 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2018 A normal Blue one with grey roof Strathclyde or Lothian would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM47079 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I am happy to be corrected but did the blue livery locos have a different type of headlight which may have dissuaded Bachmann in not currently doing Them? I am not sure exactly when they were changed to the square type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Reid Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Yes, they did. The change from a traditional spot lamp of the original 1979 47/7's to the square high intensity lamps began about mid 1984? so some of the original 12 had them before the ScoRail livery change....Glasgow push pull by Ian Cowieson, on Flickr47709 THE LORD PROVOST (My error of course)...

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted March 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2018 Pleased to advise that my Waverley arrived safe and sound today despite the atrocious weather both up north and down here in the south east corner. Many thanks to the guys at Rainbow Railways .... and all those at Royal Mail including my local postie who delivered the package this morning!
