JhornG201 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Whatever it is, I think they'll be out to grab one of Bachmann's intended announcements next week. Could one dare to hope for a Caledonian '439' 0-4-4T or a LNER D49 'Shire'? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelboy45 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I wonder if it's a 4 Sub emu as there's one there? Probably unlikely...... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2020 I like the way they've addressed criticism of the colour up front 'Brighton works mixed the colour incorrectly'. Maybe something for future releases? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 A bit ‘meh’ for me as I only took delivery of a Hornby terrier yesterday, so feel no burning need to run and purchase this one too. Shame, but I’ll live 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Elaner Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 3 hours ago, Edge said: I’m wondering if it’s another early loco like the ‘Rocket’. If so, my money is on ‘Lion’ or ‘Planet’ considering the second class S&R wagons inbound in Sep Small locos are a good target because they are less expensive, so are easier to ship/stock in larger numbers & also have a more affordable purchase price. As for the other early locos, Lion/Planet/Novelty etc.. I think these are unlikely. Rocket sold well because almost everyone has heard of it. It is the most famous steam loco by a long way (Ignore NRM's false hype about the Scotsman, that doesn't come close to Rocket). Virtually everyone has heard of it whether they have an interest in model railways or not. This will have contributed to its sales. The same is not true of other locos around the same era, so they will appeal to a smaller market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted July 31, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2020 I looked at it and though just another Terrier , so no great excitement for me . Is it only available to club members then ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted July 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think this was a bit over hyped, was it not? If they had trailed it as "A special announcement for Collectors Club members" we would have realised it was going to be a relivery of an existing model as a special run for Collectors Club. But this was announced in the same way as the mid-year announcements last year. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same is not true of other locos around the same era, so they will appeal to a smaller market. I might make a case for Lion. It is well known enough for a G1 version to be available - probably helped by The Titfield Thunderbolt - but I can't see any appetite for the rest. None of them are as pretty for a start. I'd buy one, but then my tastes in toy trains are well known not to be mainstream... 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet on other threads where Accurascale, Hattons etc. launch multiple versions at the same time they are commended and people slate the likes of Hornby / Bachmann for not doing the same. Can't win can they? Roy 2 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Worked though. Just joined specifically for this model. BR 1960s garish liveried Terrier? Now that's a bit special. Jason 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
