I think I’ll also renumber and tweak the livery on my RFD one (to 90022 I think) and get it the plates to make the set of 4 to fit in with the end of my modelling period. Hornby knocked the SNCF one out as R2358 as I’m sure you’re aware but I’m not keen enough to assemble the collection to get one, even to lurk at the back of a depot. If Kernow is selling the German example at 30% off, I suspect that we shan’t see either of the other two liveries produced by Bachmann. A bit of a shame because the Bachmann 90 is a stonking model. If ever you do tweak the livery to produce 90022, I’d love to see a picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superficially it looks like the corner windscreen pillars need to be black as opposed to yellow, though I’ll scrutinise more photos when I get around to doing it. The Hornby model looks a bit off in comparison to the Bachmann one, though I do have a PH designs kit somewhere if I every fancy upgrading one.

I don't want to try my hand with a Bachmann one because I have not used my airbrush anywhere near enough to be confident enough, so I was thinking of detailing & re-spraying one of my Hornby ones. If I did that, Bachmann would probably announce theirs the next quarter 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNCF one is definitely my favourite of those liveries and I'd much rather have seen that than the DB and Belgian ones 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just get a second DB style one if I can sell a kidney or other body part and do it. That looks smashing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did that, Bachmann would probably announce theirs the next quarter 🤣 One of the advantages of modelling Banger Blue livery is that it’s quite a simple one so good to practise airbrushing techniques on. It’s also a good livery to work out how to mask properly before moving on to more complex liveries. Respraying is one of my favourite parts of the hobby. It’s great (and a relief) peeling off the masking tape and there’s a nice sharp and straight join, but any errors can still be fixed if need be. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted March 6 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6 19 hours ago, letterspider said: i meant with regards to the minimum amount of spraying...but I see the grey bands are completely different My theory is to ideally strip the body first after removing the roof detail and glazing. Then spray the yellow end first, then the orange, the light grey next and then the dark grey. Doing in in this order means that it is fairly easy to use differing widths of masking tape and follow the lines of the cab front/cantrail. That’s how to do it in my mind’s eye anyway! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good prices on TMC for 90s at mo if you’re looking for a model to respray… £137 for several variants 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

letterspider Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It's a great model at that price (I have 2) and of course 2nd hand market exists too. However any wishful thinking of future liveries like this SNCF one from Bachmann....well I doubt we will see any new Class 90 from them of any sort if they would be RRP £250 DCC ready....? Respray would be the cheaper option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Street IEMD Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) This was referred to me that Rail's have the NRM DB90 for sake at £164, making them slightly more accessible and affordable https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ItFFgtB-q/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet Edited March 13 by Johnson Street IEMD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
