RMweb Gold papagolfjuliet Posted February 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm sure Bachmann already know what will be in the announcement but an ex SECR 'H' class would be nice. It's high in the wanted polls & Bachmann have already done the 'C'. Even if delivery were not until 2017 an announcement now may stop any unnecessary duplication by another manufacturer, which can only benefit the hobby in the long run. I certainly don't think it's unreasonable to expect Bachmann's relationships with the Bluebell and the Worth Valley to continue, and so I'd be inclined to look to those lines' fleets for clues as to future releases.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2015 If we are in speculation territory I would think the SE&CR H must be well up the leaderboard and it won't directly compete with the M7 and O2 when you think about it; it would also be sensible one to put down a marker on. I think we might possibly look forward to an ROD version of the O4 but possibly not this year although it could well be announced in anticipation of timely centenary delivery? Some reworks might well be on the blocks as well - the 'Manor' is probably the most likely and will we see coaching stock reworks move along to the Collett stock? Finally a couple of new 'steam era' wagons plus possibly something modern in that line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted February 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2015 Does anybody have any idea when (or even if) the revamped Ivatt tank is likely to turn up. It seems to be taking an inordinately long time considering they have already tooled up everything they need but the chassis block itself for the tender version.

Stevelewis Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yes, we haven't got much time for a massive wishlisting thread..... Still, we'll do what we can. I'll start off with a 5-WES, an LNER P1 and a Class 13. I will nip in sharpish..... Trans Pennine 5 Car DMU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good reception - and hopefully commercial success - of the smaller mostly preserved classes they have chosen as subjects says 'more of the same' to me too. Count in their activity with the NRM, the clear customer liking for models which can carry a very attractive pre-group livery, and the way they often very neatly 'do a round' of the Big Four territories with a wheel arrangement, and I would guess at several possibilities. No SR group 4-4-0 in their range. Hornby have the T9 - western end - so an eastern end type makes sense, and they are all beautiful subjects. Preserved Wainwright D? No ER group 0-6-2T in their range. Hornby have the N2, so any other is an option; N5 or N7 - the latter again having a preserved specimen. Where next in 0-6-0 types? Huge choice They do seem to be inching north up the West coast and Caley blue is awfully pretty... Mould breaker models, surprising new departure. Heavy shunters like 4-8-0T and 0-8-4T? Or late C19th Singles? Some liveries there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Warrior Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The LMS Porthole stock in BR maroon and another batch of Midland brake vans would be useful. The SECR H Class followed by the D Class as the next NRM Model in due course would give plenty to go with the Bird cage stock. Perhaps a bit early for some more pre-grouping coaches but would be nice. Push pull stock from the Midland/LNWR, some of the Coal Tanks and the L&Y 2-4-2 Tanks were push pull fitted. Would go nicely with a Midland Johnson 0-4-4T! L&Y (Aspinall and/or Barton Wright) and Caledonian 0-6-0s, the 812 in Blue would be gorgeous. Total agree with more Pre-grouping liveries. Seems to have served Bachmann very well so far, probably because they are so good at it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevelewis Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I heard that rumour, though I heard it associated with another blue box producer. I guess a few people have, as much of last year there was very few on ebay and prices were quite good, but between December and now they've been streaming out there...3-4 a week and prices have crashed. Would love someone to do it... then re-use the cab ends and other parts to produce a 303 EMU. How much would a 5 Car Transpenine be though.. £400 - £500 price mark though ? Price of a Trans Pennine if it was ever done would I think depend on the format it is produced in, The Midland Pullman is effectively 2 locos and 4 coaches the original price of this unit can now almost be considered to be a bargain, I believe the current Hattons price for the Yellow ended one IS a bargain. Now if the Trans P was produced with one power car which I beleive is feasable as the 4 CEPs we have tested are completely at home hauling an additional 4 unpowered cars on gradiants of 1 in 30 curved at 36" radius. Then assuming that it was in the same format as current DMU/EMUs as far as lighting was concerned then a retail of around £350 ish would perhaps be feasable. Of course if it was produced with 2 power cars then obviously the RRP would be appreciably higherr The down side of theis unit is of course that ( as far as I am aware) they only had 2 liveries, correct me If I am wrong, if they had more than 2 then this would be a plus point in the possibility of the units production................ .........ah Memories memories as I write this I can smell and taste those Beefburgers we used to get in hte Griddle car!! We often used to ride the Trans P from Manchester to Liverpool and back just to get the Beefburgers!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how we define New though, as there's the retooled and updated Class 150s which have just been released or the forthcoming Class 158 from Bachmann. If we're going for a new DMU though, I'd either head my bets on a Class 156 seeing as Hornby doesn't seem interested in replacing the Lima version, or something newer like a 175. Or as Bachmann has a relationship with Bombardier - a 172? Turbostar body is produced, Voyager bogies produced, Chiltern & LO versions first? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted February 3, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2015 Not sure, the 156 has disappeared from the Hornby catalogue this year. Could be a sign of a new super detailed version next year. It's about time they did something in modern image. So I don't see this as Bachmann.

Purley Oaks Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes, that Caley 0-6-0 looks grand - I'd also go for the Jones Goods 4-6-0. For something more modern, how about a 4BEP EMU, or a 375 or variant. Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted February 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2015 New DMU would surely have to be a 120 - please? Phil I think that would be an ideal choice. Noticeably different to all the "commuter-style" units currently available/announced but with a less hefty price-tag than a 5-car (Trans-Pennine) unit would inevitably carry.
