Guest Locomotion No. 3 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 5 hours ago, Matabiau said: FIrst of all, thanks to Locomotion for having replied. Secondly, there is frequently a problem with Sagepay and, at least, French bank cards. They seem to do an update every now and again and that blocks us. It doesn't recognise the card as a credit card, and when you enter it as a debit card it is refused further down the chain. This has happened in the past and was rectified after a few months. It seems to have happened again as I am having the same problem with other retailers using SagePay including Bachmann Collectors' Club (they took tha payment by phone instead). Thank you for your PM. We now have your phone number and I will arrange for one of my colleagues to contact you regarding your order in the next day or two.

stewartingram Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I don't think they were the latest offerings from Hornby (the "flat-sided" ones if you like). If you look carefully as the train goes round the curve, one side on the coaches is all doors to the compartments on the new Gresleys, but not on this video?

Fredo Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hi, does anyone know which BR period the upcoming Bachmann V2 model 60964 is based on, is It before it was fitted with separate cylinders in 1960? Thanks Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredo Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi, I know you are planning a model of 60800 in its BR days in the late 50’s. Any news on when it may be available. Thanks Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fred Hi Fred, The upcoming model of 60800 is not in late 50's condition - she is in approx 1998-2005 condition, covering the first two thirds of her last boiler ticket. She was repainted into her current coat of Apple green for the remainder. Cheers, 60800 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60800 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) @Locomotion No. 3 Is it possible to have an indication please on how close the Green Arrow versions are to selling out on pre-order? I'm getting ever more tempted to order 4771 as well as 60800 but I'm holding off until as late as possible due to the combined cost of the models.

Thanks for the replies guys - I managed to get through to Locomotion this morning and they have explained that the confirmation email likely dropped into my spam folder (which clears every 30 days) - they have re-sent the email now so I have that An interesting point brought up during the conversation is that the running plate on the V2 has been retooled completely, to remove the hump in the middle and the ski jump at the end - it was explained that the current version (at the time) was just used for the livery samples and the issue had already been highlighted months before and due to retooling the models are now expected in Summer after Hardwicke which is due in July.

Cheers, 60800 That's really good to know, thanks. The running plate really stuck out to me as being wrong, which perhaps it wasn't massively when viewed from a normal distance rather than up close, but all the same "once seen, unable to unsee" etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree. Excellent move by Bachmann, as it was spoiling an otherwise excellent model! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Do we know if the cab front tooling is also being amended to reduce the 'ridge' (supposed to represent the cab to firebox casing join) that extends too far onto the cab front? This results, on the LNER livery, in far too much black on the cab front, and the 'point' of the green ending far too high up the cab front. For me this is the only other major and inexcusable error on an otherwise excellent model. (acknowledging that some compromises are inherent in mass produced 4mm models) Also is there any potential for a Smiths Spedo drive to be included? After initial enthusiam (with a good reprasentation on locos such as the 4mt tank, and 5mt) Bachmann seem not to include this, in constrast to Hornby whose slightly malnourished reprasenation features on most models. This part is prominant on the V2s so fitted, as well as Green Arrow since around 2000 (not initially fitted after overhaul). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorz101uk Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Just paid for my Green Arrow! Don’t normally spend that sort of money for loco but it’s all coming all to common! £338 for a fully DCC sound loco! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60800 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 60800 landed today. Very happy with it - not yet fitted the nameplates and front end gubbins but it's already sat in pride of place next to my chunk of coal from 60800's tender from my first mainline steam trip two decades ago. Cheers, 60800 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Great performance from the loco as well. A slight oddity I noticed though is that the tender and loco are askew to one another. Something to do with connection I’m guessing. Edited December 23, 2021 by PeterH 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
