craigwelsh Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Isnt it time Bachmann improved the jointing of the connecting rods/motion etc ? Hornby do seem to have definite upper hand here. Look at the screw on the motion on the middle axle, same on on my Bachy standard 4 80000 tank. Yup though Hornby should follow Bachmann and paint the wheels including the tyre rims. Ah what a beautiful hybrid we could have.. Neither of which would last long on a model of mine anyway but hey ho! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidnutter Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 hummmmmmmmmmm maybe Warley or Wigan will see the first of these appear.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 20, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2009 Nuts to the green one, we needs to see that Southern Region one roll on in Ironically I shall be renumbering mine to 82029 but can't use the produced 82029 because of the lamp irons!! Surely a class of 'Standard' locos only numbering forty should be simplier than this!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only standard loco I need for my layout. 82029 was the last out of waterloo. That will do nicely for me I remember train spotting on Waterloo in '67 as this was one of the last places in the south to see steam in action. Happy days.
