RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) If in doubt, paint them maroon, no colour matching issues if one then needs to change them.... John Easier said than done unfortunately. I’m In New Zealand and proper colour paint is hard to come by here, even in the model shops. To make it worse, UK postage laws don’t allow paint to be sent overseas anymore so it’s very difficult to get hold of it.

'CHARD Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 So now we have 3 players offering the same liveried Class 66's at three different levels of detail...that's just plain dumb in this market. Yes Hornby offer the cheap & cheerful version for the lower end but what does the Bachmann 66 offer considering it will probably be the same price or more expensive than the new tooled Hatton's version It's not in fact dumb, it's basic economics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotelling%27s_law In any case, the new 66s have no doubt been planned for a while, with slots booked. Would have been plain dumb not to run with them and take a portion of this freshly stimulated market for Class 66s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

owentherail Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 So 3 versions of some 66 liveries, Hattons, Bachmann and Hornby, hope will bring prices down ..... Tho won't get any. Blue 47 and 46 is good, Original freight 47 is good but 050 a strange choice as one with no black window frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyneux Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Thanks Bachmann! Don't forget, if you want LTF-25 bogies to back-date the HKAs into JMAs, you can get them from my Shapeways shop and wheels from Colin Craig... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted January 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) My initial impression is that it's been a bit of a damp sqib. I know that Bachmann have supply issues and in that context a year of consolidation seems to be a sensible course to take. However they do have previous for very long lead times between announcement and delivery. If the current planning makes big inroads into those models that have been in the pipeline then that's all to the good but I'm not sure that 'consolidation' is a repeatable strategy. It's interesting to see narrow gauge to the fore, though as a niche sector the Baguley-Drewery probably won't get as many pulses rating as Hornby's standard gauge Ruston. With my narrow gauge enthusiasts hat on I'd suggest that the sight of the quarry Hunslet on the near horizon would garner more wow factor than the diesel. As has been mentioned before there's a very nice and easy to build kit of the Baguley- Drewery available, whereas the quarry Hunslet is a harder and more intimidating proposition. Edit: The slate quarry buildings look rather good; I could see them being popular. However I can see an upside to a very cautious programme of releases. As I type this no one knows what our trading relationship with the rest of the world will look like later this year. It may prove that cautious is a good choice. I'm also minded to look at what Bachmann already have in their range. It seems to contain a lot of the bread and butter models that we need to portray the everyday railway. It's vans and opens that we buy in multiples; stuff that we expect to be able to buy over the counter without recourse to ordering in advance. Maybe we put a bit too much emphasis on new releases.

raetiamann Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looks interesting to me, personally I'm pleased there isn't too much new tooling. it will give Bachmann chance to catch up on previously announced models. I wonder if 37012 will carry the Eastfield white stripe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widnes Model Centre Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Looking at the price list, if I am correct, the 66's all seem to be around £25 cheaper than last year. The RRP for all the newly announced 66's is £144.95. Before the customary discount is applied. Sound 66's are £224.95., again before any discount is applied.

Guest Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I had promised myself I wouldn't comment and I resisted on the Hornby thread, but, it has to be said... ...that Scenecraft servicing point looks rather tasty. There. I shall crawl back to other parts of the forum now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trains4U Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looking at the price list, if I am correct, the 66's all seem to be around £25 cheaper than last year. Pretty much everything else has had a price increase (Between 2 and 10% it seems) Some of the prices are eye-watering - the re-release SECR C-Class is £100 more than the others in the price list at £224.95 £450 for a 4-CEP anyone?

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Interesting aside. All the new items mentioned are described, and many of them illustrated, on the website of a certain retailer located in the Liverpool area....

tractor_37260 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The only Loch Rannoch already done was as 37408, not as a 37/0 Interesting choice of livery for L/L 37 012 - Black roof with Yellow cant rail lining - only a few 37/0's received this particular L/L variation at ED depot in 1985.

Fenman Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Paul - I took this as NEW items for this year. So 158 in RR is now available both sound fitted and not, same for the 159. I think! I really hope you are right - that would be delightful news. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if 37012 will carry the Eastfield white stripe. Alas, no; 37012 appears to be modelled in it's 1985 guise. Although a minor quirk, the extended yellow stripe along the cantrail is pleasing on the eye! Definitely on my watch list... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn-on-the-platform Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I got a prediction right! Kind of... very pleased to see a GWR black pannier, and evidence that these haven't been completely dropped in favour of the 64xx. Quite a lot of useful wagon re-liveries too. A nice nod to preservation with the unknown warrior and 92212. I'm pleased the thread has taken a more positive turn! Lots of people were hoping they would consolidate and get already announced products to market and now they haven't made enough announcements? Poor Bachmann just can't win! Thanks again Andy for the post. The Southern liveried Sid is a bit of a curveball. Is anyone aware of any context? Or just Bachmann trying to make it fit in with Heljan and Peco products?

meatloaf Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Pleased with the black TTA tanks and will probably have a few of those. No email from hattons with all the new releases either. They were all over the Hornby release last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just Bachmann trying to make it fit in with Heljan and Peco products? I started a thread on the NG enthusiasts facebook group and it seems Bachmann are doing a bit of imagineering. E763 would have followed Lyn, the L&B's Baldwin 2-4-2 which was numbered E762 and 'Sid' is a river in Devon. But I'm unaware the L&B ever looked into buying a War Department Baldwin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
