RMweb Gold big jim Posted September 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2018 They are clearly as preserved locos - Alice has a strange looking injector on her tank That strange looking injector sat on our mantelpiece for years while my dad restored Alice in the garage, I’ll ask him tomorrow what it came off originally 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
009 micro modeller Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Aren't some of them going to be in preservation era liveries as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I don't really care what size shape or colour they are when they finally appear, i just want a couple! Any i get will be chopped about and repainted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted September 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2018 These locos are much more widespread in preservation than they were in industrial use, so preservation liveries make perfect sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestTom Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I suspect that the vast majority will be used on freelance layouts, so I reckon people won't be too bothered about the livery as long as it's reasonably generic and pretty. Certainly that's my plan, at any rate. Put it this way, I'm not seeing a whole lot of people bemoaning the fact that there's no accurate stock to run with e.g. their Dinorwic-liveried example...

Quarryscapes Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Aren't some of them going to be in preservation era liveries as well? All of them will, apart from the Penrhyn one.

You can't really operate a slate quarry prototypically in model form, and most of 009 in general is not even close to prototypical anyway so Bachmann can paint them pink for all it matters, people will buy them. Dinorwig rolling stock is available from RT Models though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2018 You can't really operate a slate quarry prototypically in model form,Why not? You can load lumps of slate and even work inclines. Plenty of other wagonloads have to be handled in model form for operation. and most of 009 in general is not even close to prototypical anywayDo you really mean it like that? That looks a rather sweeping statement and just a tad elitist when there a lot of very realistic and good 009 layouts. Your models are superb but that phrasing makes it look like everyone should reach such levels to be prototypical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) My 009 is pure fantasy and so therefore when i've finished it hopefully before xmas i can make up whatever fantasy operations, liveries and wagon loads & moves with it i like! As much as my imagination will allow without limitations, we can't all model the exact same prototypical things all the time or to the same high quality standards as a lot on here can. I think us folks who model in this fantasy way are a lot braver, especially when we are willing to buy what are expensive & very nice rtr models to start with, and then we have the balls into taking the scalpel and the paint brushes to them, making them our own thing and not another clone.

What I love about narrow gauge is the need to use our creativity to produce the 'atmosphere' of our chosen theme, (whatever that might be). Some folk prefer an exact prototype to work towards, and that's absolutely fine by me, but I prefer to work with my own vision of what looks and feels 'right'. Who could not be enchanted by Nile's 'Scarside' elsewhere on this forum yet no prototype exists? Narrow gauge provides an ideal near blank canvas to use our imagination.

HC My 009 layouts are usually either freelance or based loosely on an unusual prototype, but often combining various influences to make my own thing, imaginative but hopefully looking like it might have existed in real life, even though it didn't exactly. I like it this way - keeping the model vaguely plausible but allowing plenty of room to be creative. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RateTheFreight Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Evening all, Out of interest, in terms of scale or size, how big are these locos going to be? For example, I have a Bachmann TTTE Rheneas and Skarloey so should i expect something of a similar size? Would they look out of place with Peco 009 stock of the non slate wagon variety (disregarding prototypical history for a moment as I don't model a specific prototype).

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2018 They are slightly smaller than the TR locos. They should look ok with the Peco four wheel wagons and GVT coaches though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted January 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) The thread showing the 2018 Bachmann announcements included details at the bottom of the first post showing the position of each of the locos, the Hunslets show as in the Drawing Office. As this is direct from Bachmann I would take the info to be more accurate? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/129822-Bachmann-announcements-2018-full-list/ The winter 2018 copy of Bachmann Times show the quarry hunslets are still at the drawing stage. Looks like its going to be a bit of a wait... Edited January 5, 2019 by Captainalbino 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksouthdown Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Any news from Bachmann when the Quarry Hunslets are likely to hit the retailers shelves. Seems to have been no progress or very little for a while now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted December 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2019 They were showing 3D prints at Warley. The latest Bachmann Times still shows them in the drawing office. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joppyuk1 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Thanks. Going to be a long wait. I really don't understand this business of announcing things years before they go into production. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand this business of announcing things years before they go into production. That's why they changed it so since February every 3 months there's an announcement of what's due in that quarter. Atm collectors club members still get updates of how already announced products are progressing, that may change once all those eventually get released.
