Mad McCann Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 At Bachmann prices I think I'll be sticking with Parkside. Davy 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 The sphere of operation of the MEO wagons has been mentioned, from my time on Bristol TOPS commencing in 1978 I remember that they appeared as odd ones or twos on the regular flow of coal from the East Midlands to the ROF at Puriton, but mixed in with the far more regular MCOs. I think the loading colliery was Gedling or perhaps Calverton. At that time they would arrive at Bridgwater on the daily 08 worked trip up from Taunton. When empty they would pick up an East Midlands destination. That traffic ceased around 1980/81, and I do not remember seeing them on domestic coal traffic in the south west. cheers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summer edition of the Bachmann Times, which came out a couple of days ago, has a full page spread with photos of the final livery samples of, I think, all of the versions. There are 10 wagons shown in the article. It stated that the models have been cleared for production. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmc Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 HOT OFF THE PRESS! We have just been advised that the first of our exclusive 24.5T Mineral Wagons will be arriving at the Bachmann warehouse in Barwell next week! It took us by surprise too, but what a pleasant surprise. In view of the short period between announcing our special pre-order price of £25.50 for a single pack and £50.95 for a double pack we will honor that price for both pre-orders and any wagons purchased in the 4 weeks following their arrival here at Beckhole which looks like it will be about 14th June.

Also if i order two different packs but one goes into stock and the other one doesn't would that mean that you would hold the order and wait for the other pack to arrive or do you send the pack that arrived and send the other pack at a later date instead? as i would like to get a single and a double pack. Thanks, Samuel. Edited June 2, 2021 by sc2016 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Samuel. Hello Samuel We should be getting some of each, the consignment has been split so it should be okay to order a single and a double pack together. all the best!

Porcy Mane Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If that's factory applied weathering, and not bespoke, sent to the factory for use as example templates; it's bl**dy impressive. 9/10 (and I'm a hard marker) 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mophead45143 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Nice delivery from the postman a few minutes ago...... Lovely wagons, with nice chassis detail and they're neither too heavy nor too light. My only gripe (which I was aware of anyway from the decorated samples) is the dark shade of grey. This may be fine for the steam era wagons, but in the 70's they were a lot lighter in appearance, as per Accurascale's HUO and MDO. It's not stopped me buying a couple, as I will always support any manufacturer that makes an effort to produce a proper model from an era that has historically only been covered by wagons with horrendous generic chassis! I'll just have to get the paint brush out and do some modelling. Besides, there'll be heavily weathered anyway. Otherwise, lovely models which I'm pleased to own.

Max Legroom Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 A bit of light grey dry-brushed onto the panels and some heavy weathering should tone down that grey. Nice wagon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
