ThaneofFife Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Wasnt somebody rumoured to be doing a Class 86 a year or so back when those rumours talked of new 86 and 87 ? We have had the latter but what about the former? OK - so Heljan are doing one but that is the early as built 86/0 and this was announced only very recently in comparison so could we see Bachmann step in with a quality 86/2 (and the models that would flow from that including the 86/1 sub-class on the Class 90 running gear). Could be too close to the 90 release though for another AC loco but then again we might not see the 86 for 3 or 4 years. Can I have an early named 86/2 in BR blue and an 86/3 or 86/4 in executive livery please? Edited January 4, 2019 by ThaneofFife Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaneofFife Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Had another thought today after initially thinking the Class 85 will be rested for this year...… Perhaps they might release an early BR blue version with TOPS numbers but with the original 4 digit illuminated head-code panel instead of the sealed beam lights of previous TOPS models 85026, 85101 and 85040 and no orange cant rail stripe putting in the early 1970s period. Or they could go the other way but less likely this year and do an 85/1 but in reality that's only a couple of transfers away for most people unlike the earlier suggestion which is different tooling.

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted January 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hornby have heard of Wales, though they have forgotten about it; the only RTR loco numbered for Tondu in my period is 2761. But they got the livery wrong; they turned it out in unlined green 1942-8 G W R Egyptian serif whereas it was withdrawn and photographed at Swindon awaiting dismantling in 1950 in unlined black 1942-5 Caerphilly Works G W R plain 'grotesque' lettering austerity. As the loco was painted at Caerphilly, it presumably carried the works' trade mark, a red reversing lever; mine does, though usually faces the wrong way for anyone to see it! A no.10 boiler would be a boon to any GW/early WR period South Wales modeller. Rebuilt Taff A, rebuilt Taff 04, rebuilt Rhymney S... Er..not quite.Their latest Castle 5013 is and was a Landore engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted January 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2019 Well, this is a Bachmann thread. I wonder....? A Bulldog? Not too difficult; a bit of a no-brainer, really. A Buffalo? Nice little saddletank? A 633 class? Or, a M&SWJR galloping Gertie? Wagons. Sequentially numbered PO wagons, say Stephenson Clarke, Cambrian, Wm. Cory, Nixons. Problem is, getting the numbers. They only made about 750,000 of the things in real life.... Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Am sure I can see a pantograph in that blurred image... an 86/2 and later associates derivatives would be great. I'd have thought the catalogue image if it is wearing a coathanger would be the 90 as it is coming out next year. Hopefully. I have an itchy feeling Hornby will blag the 86/2 (and /1) and that Bachmann will announce an 81, probably next year after the 90 has hit the shelves, as the 81 can make use of the 85 chassis more or less as is.

Jammy2305 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 On the wagon front, a Midland D299 open would make sense? 62,000 built between 1882 and 1900, with examples cropping up in yards all over the UK and many no doubt surviving well beyond the grouping. Added to the fact they've produced a MR liveried 4F and a MR 20T brake van, it seems logical... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
