dube Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I remember seeing the SECR C Class on sale for £75 when they first came out ! although I’m not sure if the all got this livery, I think the plainer Green would have been more common until WW1, and still no LMS crimson compound ?

Waverley47708 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Totally agree on both counts,... should be under the first window.... And secondly, yeah, it’s difficult to find photos! I was watching YouTube and that confirmed to me that the Bachmann placement is wrong... i’d taken some screen shots from YouTube, but not sure if it’s permissable to post them here....23 mins on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCRYKXhmEm4 has 3 of them departing behind a 27. Think there were only 5 in that livery and all 3 have the ScotRail logo under the first window on the video. Think they also appear earlier in the video departing Haymarket behind a 47. Will check later. Will drop Bachmann a polite email. Suggest others may want to do so as well. Edited January 21, 2019 by Waverley47708 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley47708 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Pleased to say Bachmann came back very quickly this morning with a reassuring email advising the model of the ScotRail TSO is a mock up and that the positioning if the ScotRail branding is to be "tweaked" Excellent customer service. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tramshed Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I do think it's slightly peculiar that there are no re-liveries of the H1/H2, from what I gathered they were very popular! Not only are there no re-liveries, there are no Atlantics at all in the new catalogue! Not even the GN/LNER ones ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

faa77 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) I really wish Bachmann would stop adding factory weathering to wagons. Most of the time it's of poor quality and it ruins the model, whilst presumably making it slightly more expensive. Those who want weathering will do it themselves or pay someone.

The oil stains on the TEA just look pants: You take choice.Mine is to purchase them as my skill base is not good enough to achieve the standard they set .See attached picture of 3 wagons on my layout with factory weathering . Okay, but would it really be difficult for Bachmann to weather only half the batch and make everyone happy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) This thread https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/141743-planned-Bachmann-branchline-2019-release-schedule/ has been locked but the list of releases posted there simply highlights the backlog Bachmann have. In reality it would have been far better if they had announced that list rather than simply adding to the backlog. I make that the only 2019 releases on it are 3 37s and 2 47s (ignoring Sound duplicates), a NEA and two GUVs with the remainder being new tooling's whose announcements date back to 2014 (the Class 90) and new versions of extant models whose announcements date back to 2016 (the 03s).

reevesthecat Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Just noticed on the Bachmann thread that the class 66 is not due this year so Bachmann will be last with the duplicated hattons/ Hornby liveries. I have pre ordered one but wonder how many sales they could miss out on due to this. Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2019 Looking at Hattons livery samples, Bachmann are in trouble I think. It’s a shame they both had to release the B.R. and Biffa versions though. Could Bachmann not have released a Royal Scotsman version instead? Avoiding duplication is what’s gonna help Bachmann sell 66’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoiding duplication is what’s gonna help Bachmann sell 66’s. Well given if they do make those 66s it will not be until 2020 at the earliest they will no doubt be taking account of how many get ordered by the various dealers and either make the requisite number or cancel them.

Avoiding duplication is what’s gonna help Bachmann sell 66’s. On the contrary, as we have seen before this theory applies: https://www.uh.edu/engines/epi2692.htm Hotelling's Law suggests that competing vendors do best when they go head to head.

tractor_37260 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Bachmann's forthcoming L/L Blue 47 711. Despite searching through numerous photos, can't find any with a square HI headlight fitted in this livery. AFAIK both L/L 47 711/712 only had the round ScR car type headlights replaced with square HI units when repainted into ScotRail Exec livery. Anyone got a photo or link that shows differently ?

I agree in theory interference should be an issue ,surprisingly it appears to be the opposite with high voltage towers now regularly feature these antennas. I also have a 1:76 scale L6 400kV pylon in the collection feature them . Edited October 8, 2020 by Pylon King 5 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
