SRman Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Well, Mrs SRman and I had a lovely evening with DougN, Mrs DougN, and the mini DougNs. I took my Bachmann H1 Atlantic in LBSC livery over for a trial on Doug's gradients, and it acquitted itself very well. I took a small amount of video on my phone, with Doug's D11 also running. Excuse the slight shakiness - using the stabilisation filters tends to make the motion slightly stuttery instead. I have posted this on DougN's own layout thread too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Still unsure on the vertical bits on the coal rails, I decided to weather the rather bright cab roof, tender top and add real coal. A difficult decision on an expensive model but one that I feel greatly improves the overall look. Both would have never been spotless unless when freshly painted. But I would have thought the LBSC tried to keep its engines looking clean when in service. I achieved this using a dark wash mostly removed with cotton buds to add streaking especially to the roof. Edit: the picture doesn't do the tender top justice, its an awkward colour to photograph Edited December 26, 2018 by Pre Grouping fan 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually resprayed my H2 (Wrong thread, I know) into both war ad post war liveries, I went to go and varnish the black and I didn't like the way it came out so I stripped it and accidentally painted it green! The current H1 release has a few detail differences that would exclude it from being correct for a wartime black H1, the cab would be the main one I think - if you were serious about it though, you could email Bachmann and see if it was possible to get an H2 cab as a full sub assembly and swap it out! 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Rails of Sheffield are now selling the H1 and H2 at a discount. 31-910 LBSCR H1 £159 - 20% discount. 31-920 Southern olive H2 £144.50 - 24% discount 31-921 BR black H2 £124.50 - 34% discount. It looks like the LBSCR version is the most popular but I would have thought that more people have British Railways layouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittannia Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Probably, but then again there is always "the. its my layout I'll run what I like" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGiraffe22 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Lately I've noticed several BR items reduced more so than their grouping and pre grouping variants. Perhaps BR popularity is finally starting to dwindle as earlier layouts become easier to model with rtr...? Certainly there seems to be a flavour for pre grouping models at the moment. Is the market influenced by what people model, or is what people model influenced by what's available on the market? (I know it is not as black and white as that) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It could be that a lot of pre-grouping colours have appeared in preserved lines, creating a lot of interest. Also don't forget the steampunk fashion at the moment. I see a lot of young interesting in dressing up in an Edwardian/Victorian style (doubtless helped by Harry Potter).

phil gollin Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 . Only the manufacturers know the truth, but I suspect that the answer is really in the numbers actually manufactured. With a loco like the H1 any split or relative numbers, between the various versions will have to a wild guess at best. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This thread's sunk to page nine on the list so it must be time to revive it ! As I understand it Bachmann's 9400 panniers and Portland Bill were both ( all ? ) due on our shores "Jan/Feb" ..... the Western locos are here - is there any news on the H1 ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Derails Models Posted February 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2021 Invoice received for these yesterday, I'm hoping they'll drop onto our doormat today (or be placed carefully, I should say...). Hopefully they'll be arriving at your local model shop then too! Drop them a line if you're after one, they look luuurvvvley! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethp8873 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Does anyone know why Rails of Sheffield has their DCC ready example of 31-911 'Portland Bill' at full retail price yet other suppliers including my own have theirs at around £186 to £199?
