BECMAYE Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I have noticed on the Farish website that the Deltics no longer have an anticipated release date whereas I am sure previously they they were due around August/September this year - does anyone know if there is a problem with these or is it just the website not up date?

Lewishambill Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Found this pic on flickr of Pinza with air horns seemingly embedded in the nose ends (1967 Green full yellow ends). http://www.flickr.com/photos/24041160@N02/3063520424/in/pool-1465646@N25%7C24041160@N02 did it carry them like this with small yellow panels, and also in blue livery?

These were only fitted to 9007 some time between July 1964 and Nov 66. It was an experimental fitting and not taken further. 9007 received full yellow ends to the green livery in Jan 67. Records suggest that the horns were repositioned to the bufferbeam in May 66... but it looks like the nose grills were retained. The horns were probably swapped to the bonnet top fitting some time in 68-69 but I'm not sure exactly when. 9007 was painted blue in October 67. So, did it retain those grills when in Blue... I;ve seen no photos to suggest this so I'd suggest that they were probably plated over or filled prior to it going blue. Anyone else care to comment. Not seen any photos of them fitted when it had the SYP... but it wouldn't show so well in photos. Jon Edit: From Chronicles of Napier:http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/9007.htm 04.06.66 Experimental warning horns inserted into the nose cones of both No.1 and No.2 ends. 27.10.66 Experimental Syphonic warning horns were fitted. 27.11.66 Locomotive underwent audible testing of experimental Syphonic nose cone fitted warning air horns between Arelsley and Great Ponton with D9016 (standard fitted warning horn below buffer beam) and D9018 (bonnet fitted horns - later fitted as standard). 1967 12.01.67 Released from Doncaster Works, after General repair, with full yellow ends applied and experimental ETH equipment. 24.10.68 Released from Doncaster Works, after General repair, in blue livery (the experimental nose-cone fitted air horns were also removed).

RMweb Premium Crepello Posted December 10, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2013 So long as the quality's right , the wait will be worth it. Incidentally, no sign of Scottish regiments or FP blue/white cabs yet. I wonder what's behind the decision to have 2 Gateshead and no Haymarket versions. Parp.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted March 2, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2014 All three versions of the Deltic now showing as due in the next 60 days on the Bachmann website. If other recent releases are anything to go by then they should be with us in 2-3 weeks time. Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

orcadian Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi everyone, Bachmann's site is now saying May/June for Deltics Peter I know it's a scary thought, but '60 days' from now takes us into May anyway! Where has a significant fraction of this year gone? Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TomE Posted March 11, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi everyone, Bachmann's site is now saying May/June for Deltics Peter Hmm, they were on the due in 60 days list when I posted, honest!! Just when I thought they were getting better at giving accurate information on there too. Oh well, more time to save! Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish trains jez Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just pre ordered mine from a good shop in Sheffield. I've chosen D9007 Pinza in the original livery. Looking forward to receiving the model in June hopefully! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted March 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hopefully they'll be on show at Ally Pally and reviewed in the mags shortly. Nigel Burkin is often the first on his website. Parp, vroom! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted April 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 26, 2014 In case anyone didn't spot it, Ben Jones has posted pictures of the review sample of D9002 on his blog here (something seems to have gone awry with the colour and they're reproduced better on the BRM Facebook page).

woodenhead Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This is terrible, I was hoping not to purchase one of these but it looks too good to miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted April 27, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2014 KOYLI looks good but I see they've kept that daft class 2 headcode! A pity the appropriate named train codes weren't selected. Never mind, it's a job to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted April 27, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2014 The end view shows 1N24 (which Chronicles of Napier tells me is an evening Kings Cross to Leeds and Harrogate train). The same site (here) identifies 2E57 as a Leeds - Doncaster 3 coach stopper used for crew training, which is a pretty canny choice for potential customers who don't have the space or means to run the Flying Scotsman.

RMweb Premium Crepello Posted April 28, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2014 Agreed but.......! There's a pic of St Paddy on 2E57 on 7.9.61 in 'The Power of the Deltics'; no warning panel and 3 maroon Gresley coaches. Hopefully Dapol will do another batch of Gresleys in maroon one day. There's also a shot in 'TPOD' of KOYLI as modelled with headcode 4S19 on a train of vans and possibly loaded Conflat As; the second vehicle is possibly a blue spot fish van. Deltics certainly hauled the odd Freightliner in blue days and legend has it they even hauled coal trains in the freezing 1962/3 winter! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted May 7, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 7, 2014 The reviews are in the mags this month so I'm hoping Andy does some of his cruel close-ups for our delectation before we can get our grubby mitts on one!

cornish trains jez Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Agree with that. Hoping the quality is as good as the prototype deltic model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyermodels Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Just taken delivery of the New Graham Farish class 55 Deltics. Lovely model lots of detail, heavy so should be no issues with haulage and 6 pin dcc ready. Not the best pictures sorry just taken quickly on my phone.
