TRAILRAGE Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Got my little Boy Bachmann's DRS Compass 57009 recently. Lovely Model runs beautifully, but I have a query. Does anyone know if they have changed the Motor or Gear Ratio's because compared to my older 57011 it runs a fair bit faster meaning you cant double head them because of the different speed factor. Never expected that . Shame really as it seems to be getting more and more common for modern locos not to run with each other unless you use DCC which I don't as I physically just don't have the funds to do it.

RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted January 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2022 I have 57007 & 57008 in Freightliner. I can’t say I’ve noticed a difference in running. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted January 17, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2022 57009 hides a fun history… It used to be 47079 GJ Churchward, painted in GW150 livery. In October 1987 it became the first 47 in Railfreight sector livery (metals) when the Sectorisation liveries were launched at Ripple lane open day.
