I bought 4 of these over xmas 2 EWS and 2 RF sector - Should have read this thread first! Never mind i wll have to do a spot of weathering!

 

Fantastic wagons especially with the options for the load. I have kept the cradles on but after a few laps the coil loads are moving along the cradles. Maybe a spot of blue tack is required.

I enquired about 38-352A with Bachmann since I hoped that a subsequent run would use different tooling (i.e. that for 38-350 or 38-351). I've deliberately left some gaps in my rake so that I can mix them up a bit but still have them all in Railfreight red/black livery. However Bachmann have confirmed that 38-352A is simply a renumber using the same tooling as 38-352. They suggested that if I wanted a model with the alternative ends I should buy 38-350 or 38-351 so I think they sort of missed the point.

 

I do wonder what number and exact livery they're going to do for 38-351A since 900205 was a one off.

Does anyone know of anywhere that still has the Railfreight livery ones (38-352) available? I could do with another couple to go with my rake. I'm getting the impression that these were the most popular of the three releases.

Railfreight definitely seemed to the most popular version, the same with the BDA before it. They were gone in no time from the bigger retailers. I will be in for some more myself.

I'll hang on for the A batch then. Cheers for the replies chaps. I have eight railfreight and one metals one at the moment - just looks a little on the short side behind a pair of 37's (502 &507).

 

Nice looking wagons.

Bachmann are listing all three versions - Railfreight Red, Sector green/yellow and EWS red as recent arrivals - all with the "A" suffix. As you say, pretty certain only one carried the sector colours, so why they've done a full re-run is a bit strange.

 

Maybe it'll take a day or two to get to all retailers.

 

Cheers,

Mick

Railfreight Red has been and gone !!!!!!!!!!. Hattons had them in stock the same as the Metal`s and EWS ones, all now gone with no pre-order option. I poped down to my local model shop and someone bought them all this morning before i got there!!> The positive news is Bachmann`s website still shows in stock and Rails have them on order.

Railfreight red always sells out first, they should make twice as many!!!!

And why bother with the yellow livery if there was only 1 of them

 

There was just one in the livery modelled by 38-351 (i.e. the first batch from Bachmann) as per Paul's superb website http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/baa/h3b8f931d#h3b8f931d

 

However 38-351A is subtly different and was more common. Again Paul Barlett's website has some examples, though I can't find the exact model chosen by Bachmann but similar ones are:

Hi

 

Finally got around to weathering mine - photos attached.

 

Have fitted Colin Craig brake disc inserts - makes them look much better in my opinion.

 

Have resprayed coils and then rubbed them down - may yet fit straps / some writing over the coils.

 

Fitted flashing tail lamp to one wagon - had to fit the PCB and battery underneath, but you can't really see it.

 

Regards

 

Nick
