Pre Grouping fan Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I've spotted images of the decorated samples have now been added to the pages for all the new coaches. There's some N gauge mixed in there too. https://www.Bachmann.co.uk/site/search?q=Bulleid 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2022 The Sets shown by GM are advertised as numbered and that is helpful. However I'd be very happy with unbranded stock too as it is so easy to number up and Set number the Sets as required, within the ranges. Even just no set Numbers would be OK with me or just paint the existing ones out. All part of the fun innit? P 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calidore Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Some of the smaller lozenge windows have rather the same prismatic effect that the Hornby Bulleids were criticised for, to my eye. The crimson and cream set look lovely though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calidore Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 A couple of interesting photos I’ve seen recently to whet the appetite. First is a mixed green/crimson & cream 5-coach set on a West of England service. The set had presumably been reduced to three, and then reconstituted with original vehicles painted out of sequence, or with vehicles which originally belonged to another set (on closer inspection, the window vents are different sizes, so I think it’s a case of two different sets being combined): https://www.instagram.com/p/CYdFOjzIMtW Second is a c&c ‘R’ set on a Wadebridge-Bodmin working behind 30200. This mightn’t be news to anyone else but I didn’t realise Bulleid sets appeared on these workings. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZt1gffNfFg Neither is directly replicable with the livery releases in Bachman’s upcoming selection of models, but hopefully of interest nonetheless. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris45lsw Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The first pic can't be 6 Jan 1957 because 30449 lost its Drummond watercart tender for a Urie tender in November 1955. Set 829 was a 3-set built by BRC&W hence the shallower windows/higher waist line of the three green coaches compared to Eastleigh built coaches' Like many 3-sets it would be made up to 5 with 2 Bulleid TKs (ie the two red & cream Bulleids which Bachmann are bringing out idc) for the Summer timetable (June to September). I therefore doubt that the photo was taken in January as I would expect set 829 to revert to 3 coaches between September and June. 2-sets 'R' were, obviously, not unknown on the Bodmin branch but a rare event I believe.

I may revise my quantity on pre-order upwards, though my instinct is to wait for the 3/5-set in BR green. Hopefully, Bachmann will extend the range to include the loose BCK diagram in due course.

Should put the retail price at around £63 per coach, where 15% discount is offered. I have 6 on order, from the week they were announced - a long wait.

Ceptic Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Bachmann appear to be persisting with the battle-ship sized "Rivets" around the main-lights' sliding vents, both 10 1/4" and 15" types. Prototypically these are, in fact, 1/4"Dia. dome / round headed screws, barely discernible in model form.

Merchant Navy Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Although the coaches are still expensive, the decorated samples look awesome and I was expecting Bachmann to go for a price closer to £99.95. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted March 20, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2022 BR van interiors were usually a buff (stone?) colour, and I'd think the door bars would have started off matching that. I tend to agree they very likely ended up a mucky brown in time. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
