Is the intercity one they done in the first run suitable to use and renumber as one of the lsl ones. cheers Craig There's a couple of minor differences such as 90001's grille is white instead of yellow, as well as LED lights instead of the originals and that little bit on the roof (name escapes me!) that was added later on as well.

I am looking forward to the day when a ''Team Red'' 90 is done, just as I would hope for it to be LOL. well I am looking forward to the day when any class 90 used by GA finally makes an appearance, an NXEA one might be nice, maybe an AGA too, then again some of the Freightliner ones that swapped over from GA still sport their unbranded GA livery, I bet Bachmann will probably do those before they get to any passenger livery used after Virgin Trains 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Street IEMD Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Okay gotcha ... Rainbow railways do a GA 90 but they're a bit more than a standard RRP for a Bachmann 90, although the new ones have gone up about 50 quid :-( 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2021 I think the different code numbers are as much the model’s specification as livery, so the same livery on a different loco with, say, different buffers or headlights will have a different product code. An A etc. suffix could be a different livery, e.g. SYP or FYE, if the other specs are the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Horner Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Has anyone had any problems with the pantograph servo being temperamental? Are there any fixes or replacements available.

Matt Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 One of mine was when new but I returned it for repair/ exchange. I’m sure Bachmann service will be able to help 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterspider Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I seem to recall somewhere in this thread that you may have to put the decoder in a different loco to reprogram CV's - otherwise you end up with erratic behaviour due to interference between the DCC chip and the other components; (and this has happened to me too on two different Class 90's) however I found that resetting to factory defaults with chip in the loco does work and will cure the problem but then you are stuck with address 03 Isn't this supposed to be one of the reasons the 2nd batch is coming with a new chip? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I returned it through the retailer to Bachmann, it was repaired and now works. It took a few weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

letterspider Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 A nice choice as I am sure a professional respray would be difficult to produce the sweep of the curved edges of the white panel on the cab front. The cost of the this DCC ready loco is getting close to the SNCB sound fitted collectors edition - which now seems a good price. I wish I had one!

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Interesting choice of buffers, puts it post privatisation (summer 1994), rather than pre, I guess 1994 - 2003… A good choice for VT passenger services, and covers its longest period of running in that livery. 90029 has always been an odd one out.. As built as 90029 in Mainline it ended up in Freight mostly from 1988-1992, despite having the passenger fittings / rubbing plate. Yet after becoming a 90/1 in DB livery and having its rubbing plates removed Its moved upto being a long term passenger service hire-in for much of its life, firstly to VT upto 2003, renumbered back to 90/0 and EWS livery, then the Pretendolino and then on the Sleeper. In 2012 it was the first one in (Official UK) DB livery and moved to the ECML until very recently, 2019. its now in Grand Central currently.. another odd ball livery. Colourful history, literally.

RMweb Premium amwells Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2022 Bit of a shame that the valances are black rather than grey (but then I would have preferred them as painted for Freightconnection without the yellow ends too!)

Taking a leaf out of the book of rare prototypes and fictitious liveries that we must have over the mundane that gave covered millions of miles in service, what about 90129 in plain red with yellow ends? It worked for one day like that as it was needed in traffic, then was finished in DB red without yellow panels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
