My cut off is the end of BR blue/LL I know what you mean, except I'm the other way. I already have 57307 but in the more recent livery of 20th Anniversary.

tractor_37260 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Now available - L/L Blue 37 012 Loch Rannoch. Looks very smart indeed with the Dark Grey roof and Yellow cant rail stripes. Worthy of note : the Black band around the top edge of the front cab windows, unlike L/L 37 401 etc, has been applied correctly to this model. According to the info I have to hand, 37 012 and a handful of other 37/0's were painted with this version of L/L livery during 1985 at ED, but apparently with Black roofs. Anyone know for sure which colour was used/ is correct ? Thanks to Derails for the excellent service/price and speedy FREE delivery - recommended - would use again in the future............... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Uni Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The Bachmann availability page has been updated for models due to be released by April 2020. Of interest to me is the SE&CR C Class due February and the LT Pannier Tank due April. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted June 19, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2019 Waiting for 9487 early crest 94xx pannier, still 'TBA' despite pre-production models being in existence. I'm now assuming not for at least 12 months if then, which will mean a different approach to buying other stuff while I save up for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBA may just mean production depends on how long it takes to sign off the pre-production models, so no firm date yet for production. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Bachmann magazine they are at the Livery Artwork stage and it's not like they are difficult liveries. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted June 19, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yes, I’m ever-hopeful, but if some models are reckoned to be available from April next year it sounds sensible to assume that a TBA for the 94xx puts it at May earliest, not far off a full year away. Encouraging to hear that we are at the livery artwork stage, but a model produced in China is subject to delays finding production slots in the assembly facilities, a matter not directly under Bachmann’s control. It’ll be here when it gets here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fourth, of course, a lock to Bachmannˆs average price increases. Which would index link me to Chinese wage increases. Oh, well... Actually, while I don't want to pay more than I'm already being asked for for my 94xx, I don't really object all that strongly. Chinese people work hard for a better life, and I have no intention of denying it to them. Those manufacturers who abandoned UK or European production and outsourced to China when wages there were very low have given us decades of low priced models but are now caught in a trap, having committed to the Chinese production model. They are subject to Chinese costs and have to compete for production slots in the factories and assembly plants, and where there is competition there are always more losers than winners, otherwise what's the point. Making everybody a winner is called communism, of course puts on tin hat and retires to nuclear bunker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfft. The 0 gauge 158 was announced way back in 2012, so if it really does arrive next March that’s eight looong years. Paul edit: I meant 00 gauge, of course. Though it might have been a Freudian slip - in those 8 years I’ve gone from a pre-order for 7 158s and 159s (in RR and NSE respectively), to starting a while new world of fun in 0 gauge based on Heljan’s promised Clayton. My Bachmann pre-orders have dropped back to one of each - more out of loyalty to my retailer/ fond memories of the prototype than any great enthusiasm.

rogerzilla Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 That V2 has been planned for five or six years, hasn't it? Is the body actually different to the split chassis one? There are still mint/unused examples of the latter around for not much money, and they run well as long as you're ready for the axles to collapse the moment they come out of the box. With Hornby having cornered the market in indifferent A3s, there's not much available for lovers of big apple green locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
