Waverley47708 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Good move, well done Bachmann. Had a wee look, no 37 bodies but lots of different 37 chassis, cab detail and good to see the pesky thing I broke between motor and gear box is available.

RMweb Gold farren Posted November 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2021 Go on then when did Bachmann do a DMU class 107 in OO. Or has a cat been let out taken from the website Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold farren Posted November 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2021 It’s news to me, but your probably right I don’t know the class that well and would need to check what the differences are between the two classes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Yes they did a 108 masquerading as a Strathclyde orange 107 for a Harburn / Model Rail joint limited edition - coincidentally I just “found” mine that I’d forgotten I had - nestling in the empty boxes pile down back of layout. Couldn’t be sure exactly when released but was old style Bach boxes before they moved to more recent style (with polystyrene inserts). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2021 Finally managed to get it to work! Now managed at last to get my hands on those elusive N scale Class 37 snowploughs after so many years.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted November 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2021 It works. The items I ordered as soon as it went live have arrived despite no emails being received. Just need to fit them to the loco now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2021 Some potentially very useful things available here; well done Bachmann for setting this up, the stuff is easy to find and the prices seem reasonable. Bodgers and kitbashers of my ilk will find it very useful! I wish Baccy would sell complete running chassis like they used to; I believe they stopped doing this when they became aware that the likes of me were using 57xx chassis to upgrade Lima 94xx when they wanted to sell their own version, which ended up being subject to all sorts of delays not all of which were Bachmann's or Kader's fault. The 57xx chassis is also the go-to for improving the old Hornby 2721. The 2251 wheelset has potential use for converting a 64xx into a 54xx, though the body might need some surgery to sit at the correct height. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman7 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 On 16/11/2021 at 13:36, James Makin said: This looks a great initiative, I've made a number of calls to Jenni & team over the years for fairly rare bodyshells and odd bits, they seem to be sitting on an absolute bounty of stuff but I would suspect the wider public have no idea you can even buy spares or just put off with a phone number, a web presence should drive up sales! Very interesting to see some prices of the obscure parts too, I routinely rip out & discard things like cab interior lighting PCBs during my loco makeovers, I had no idea they have a street value of £3 a go! Cheers, James I can't believe the stuff that people say they bin! There is virtually nothing from a loco or carriage that can't be recycled in some way. When you have a few bits, stick them on ebay for 99p start plus postage. You'll get a bit of money and make someone else happy who then doesn't have to go to a scalper charging £20 for the same part 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRAILRAGE Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Harburn Hobbies did indeed Commission Bachmann to release the 107 using the 108 Model. www.hattons.co.uk - Bachmann Branchline 32-910Z-LN Class 107 3 car DMU in Strathclyde PTE Orange & Grey - Harburn Hobbies Limited Edition - Pre-owned - Like new Cheers Trailrage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ikks Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Great initiative Bacchy perhaps Hornby should follow this example, I pay up to 400 dollars for some items only for things to fall off into the carpet monster, some obscure place on the permanent way or just disappearing, never to be found again, so a service like this is really helpful. I have to say though whenever I have contacted Bacchy direct, Jenni and her people have been more than helpful.

Simply ain’t worth my time The art is in the lotting, keywords etc. Better to get rid of a pile in one go then have lots of 99p sales which I agree aren't worth the hassle. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Bachmann is manufacturer offering a spares supply service to the public. This may be a response to the new "Right to Repair" Act. The Act is initially for spares for goods such as home appliances, but it is forecast the Act will extend in scope, I think a model of a locomotive with a motor and moving parts with an typical ownership span of several decades should be included under a "Right to Repair" Act. https://www.which.co.uk/news/2021/06/new-right-to-repair-laws-introduced-what-do-they-actually-mean-for-you/ Edited December 13, 2021 by Pandora Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I thought they'd always offered spares but it was complicated for those not in the know, so the website just makes it easier to buy spares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
