RMweb Gold farren Posted September 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) A update to the Bachmanns jubilee would be most welcome. And would save me doing more cutting and gluing and painting . If they where to do the LFB doing tooling for the Stanier 3500 gal tender would be handy for the MML modeller. Maybe look at Domeless boiler for the early SFB some lasted into early 1940’s Bombay for one. I’d happy buy a few more, what can I say I have a liking for the Jubilee. I have just received a Old Mainline Royal Scot body and it fits the New Bachmann dcc ready chassis, needs fixing but that’s shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I need to check the axles to see if a new set of Markits wheels will fit and well be half way to having a decent…. Will DCC Run at least Scot.

Hornby rebuilt Patriots and Scots have a sort of happy compromise - could be seen as bevelled, could be seen as plain! Can't comment on the bogie wheels as all of mine have been replaced with the appropriate Gibson. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
