aureol40012 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Have Bachmann redesigned the pick ups on their class 40s? They are much more visible on this model than any of my other 8 class 40s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep frost grills to winter 1979/80, and nameplates to at least October 1974. Still waiting on mine too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aureol40012 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The buffer beam detail has been picked out fantastically, better than any of my other blue 40s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Mine has arrived too. It is causing much alarm at this stage as it has taken upon itself to ignore some of the ABC braking sections. Other than that i'm rather happy with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted September 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2020 233 has now been through works ... light weathering, replacement of moulded lamp irons with etches and removal of extraneous detail that wasn’t there on this loco ?
