raetiamann Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I know someone who will be very happy with this announcement, though personally I'd rather Bachmann use their production allocation to catch up with previously announced models. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a guaranteed amount sold for a commission? I know which is the lower risk for Bachmann and justifies priority treatment. Just a no brainer for them and probably been going as long, just quietly in the background. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Seems weird that the first withdrawal was 4 years after the last one was built 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're doing that as well - this has been underway for quite a while behind the scenes too. Some other over-used stances to cut and paste in case you find them useful. Nothing in it for me. When are they doing it in N gauge. I think it should be £10. 4 2 1 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonestTom Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Awesome news, if not entirely unexpected. It's funny, the other day I was thinking how curious it was that the Hattons Genesis train formations guide included an Improved Precedent, but no one had announced one. Hmm... "How curious it is that no one does a Metropolitan Railway A class, complete with appropriate rolling stock." 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNWR lives on Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 3 hours ago, Locomotion No. 3 said: No one outside of a small group of people within the NRM, Rails of Sheffield and Bachmann had any prior knowledge of this model and it was kept very securely under wraps. Indeed Hornby Magazine only knew about it a couple of weeks ago when we began story boarding the video and they have also kept strictly to the embargo that was 1200 today as none of us wanted to spoil the effort we had all put into this. Our thanks to Mike Wild and Richard Watson at Hornby magazine for making it happen. Fortunately it was scheduled for filming at Shildon last Tuesday (3 November) and was achieved before we all went into lockdown 2 last Wednesday. Sometimes people make educated guesses - at least one person did so in the 94xx thread earlier today! Dennis Lovett Exclusive Models Marketing Executive Locomotion Models Dennis, This is a truly wonderful development for LNWR Modellers, for whom there is very little in the way of RTR available. I have one question which you may be able to help me with - is the production run of Hardwicke going to have the White Cab roof, or will it be black?

Roy The Next18 would probably be sufficient with most new locos of this size, I use micros without issue in M7’s Terriers etc, but with traction tyres you might be pushing it so I guess a 21pin is ‘safe’? Sound wise there’s no difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbos Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I’ve always wondered why the most numerous class of British steam locomotive never had an rtr model ever made, particularly as there’s a survivor. I wonder if the second most numerous class of British steam locomotive will ever have a rtr model made? Although it’s in my time period it’s not my Pre-grouping company. Good luck to Rails, Bachmann and Locomotion, I hope it sells well. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
