Opelsi Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hopefully not pulled from sale for anything major! Looking forward to this one, an stablemate for 'Sarah Siddons'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long to wait now. At thr moment, anything in a colourful, unusual or pre grouping livery sells. I think the market has been saturated with good quality BR black and green models over the last 15 to 20 years and demand is not there anymore. At the moment, I reckon even a Hornby Black 5 in Floral Wallpaper livery would sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, I reckon even a Hornby Black 5 in Floral Wallpaper livery would sell. I beg to differ. I just think those that want garish and unusual liveries tend to shout louder. Look at the Hornby Terrier and H Class threads, all the Southern and BR black ones went straight away without hardly a mention. Black Fives are a good example. Do you ever see them heavily discounted? I never do. Same goes for BR Blue diesels. They are steady sellers that don't go out of fashion. I would put these in the same basket. Steady sellers that will stay in the catalogue for a while. There always seems to be a strange obsession on things needing to sell out immediately for it to be a success. If Tesco sells out of milk then that's a failure. I would hope that a model would stay available for at least the duration of the catalogue. If not a couple of years after.

Rhydgaled Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) On 22/07/2020 at 21:56, Paul.Uni said: Coming soon They look... glossy... I hope it's just a CGI render and the light shining off them is just to make them look like shiny new models and that they won't actually be like that. I've wanted a lined black pannier for some time (partly from seeing my brother's N gauge one and partly from seeing the real 9600 at Melton Mowbray on a railtour) but I'm not sure if I'm better off with the new one (which I think is 32-205A - running number 8771) or the older 32-201 (I think - running number is 8763) if I can find one on Ebay or the pre-owned sections of Hattons/Rails. Over in the 'Bachmann Availability to March 2021' topic it was stated that this latest batch might have coreless motors and I have a vague recollection of reading once that coreless motors have a problem with old controllers. My main controller is a HM2000 and if I ever get a big enough layout to need more than 2 feeds I have one or two of the old Hornby train set controllers (possibly R965, they look much like this anyway) and something even older I inherited (I'm not sure if it still works, haven't needed to find out). Would the new model render all my controllers obsolete and force me to buy a replacement? Also, I've yet to pluck up the courage to renumber anything, but it's something I would like to do in future. It appears from the glossy video that the number plates are printed flat (so are not raised detail) so it should be possible to cover them up with etched plates without too much difficultly. Is that correct? If I do renumber, the target loco would I think be 9600 unless anyone knows of any that ever ran on the CardiBach (it's plausible since there were given the necessary yellow weight restriction in BR days).

RMweb Premium Mike_Walker Posted July 29, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 29, 2020 I was under the impression that lined out black 5700/8750s were confined to OOC for Paddington ECS work although they did escape to other parts of the London Division from time to time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 All are the preserved* ones though so I would expect them to be slightly glossy or satin. *Apart from the lined black one which would have been kept very clean. 3738 here. https://didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/article.php/65/3738-57xx-class Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2750Papyrus Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Can anyone confirm the type of motor fitted? The LT example is very appealing but I have already bought one Bachmann tank engine which is unusable on my layout as it has a coreless motor, and would not wish to repeat the mistake.
