But the issue for a model is the hugh standard N gauge coupling probe is right where the object deflector should be. What would be great is if Farish could have a choice of slot out coupling or dead cow deflectors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted March 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2019 Why wouldn’t they? Same as with lots of models. Remove coupler and fit cosmetic valence. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padishar Creel Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) If anyone is at TINGS this weekend, and the MK2Fs are on show, can you try to get BachFar to line them up with a MK1 and/or a MK2a to see which height they compare to?

ThaneofFife Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 shame farish didn't go for dcc fitted on these or even dc lighting but then I dread the cost given that 00 is far more widespread than N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padishar Creel Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 hallo, A very good friend has just sent me this photo that she took at TINGs which shows a MK2F next to a MK1 and has given me permission to post here. Height much better than the MK2a, what do RMWebbers think? Is the MK1 actually too high? es grüßt pc 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted October 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2019 Mk1 should be 12' 9.5"; Mk2a is 12' 8.5" Mk2d or f is 12' 5.25". Scaled down, the Mk2 should be 0.73mm lower than the Mk1. Steven B. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruff Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 So the Mk2a should be 0.16mm lower than the Mk1 but in Farish' case it is over a mm different and quite noticeable. When you look at a photo of a real Mk1 and Mk2a coupled together the height difference is not noticeable. Cheers Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2020 I would wager the DBSO and associated Mk2F will be 2021 now with another January RRP increase so until they hit bargain bins (unlikely) I think I will pass...

The word from the club event was that the Mk.2s are in production and will be here mid 2020. I have to admit though, that the latest rise on these is a hard pill to swallow given that Bachmann have admitted they were only further delayed from 2019 by a "scheduling error". It does feel a little like we are being asked to pay more due only to a delay entirely of Bachmann's own making, but I suppose it also validates their new approach to not announcing models too far in advance. On the plus side I only need 3 of these. On the negative side, I'll now have to take the superstrip to a £120 odd quids worth of coach Tom. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
