I take it that the DB ones are resprays? Or was there some other releases I aren't aware of!?

 

Hey, yes, they're pro-resprays. Bachmann have just released a collectors club Class 90 with or without sound in the Belgian Railfreight livery from the 1990's but its the DB Cargo/DB Schenker and EWS liveries which are of interest to me.

I'm really hoping Bachmann announce they're doing the Malcolm Rail 90024 in their 2020 catalogue to counter the basic Hornby offering...would be rude not to.

 

Me too Classy52 ... well, i'm going to go one step on from this ... whilst i think its only a matter of time for 90024, I'd settle for any one of the DB/EWS era locos, from 90017 in EWS to 90040 in DB/DBS red, there are so many different variations on this theme and I'm sure Bachmann will do a fully fledged 90024 in DB Malcolm with all the bells and whistles and when they do, i will be at the front of the queue.

I wonder which they'll do first: the more common liveries or usual ones?

 

Common ones not yet done:

Mainline

RF Distribution (the 2nd style with the larger upper bodyside grey).

Grey with Freightliner markings.

Earlier Freightliner green

RES

Virgin

Anglia v1

Anglia v2

 

My preferred 1-off is RfD Sybic livery (90036/90136 with the yellow roof), but I certainly won't get upset if it does not appear for a while, or at all.

I model the BR era up till '95 so would certainly go for a Mainline and a second style RfD one.

Aren't you missing DB and EWS from there? Bachmann haven't done them have they?

 

EWS and DB I would expect to be popular as they can be used on all sorts including ECML passenger stuff

Yes & probably also a few others which were applied to several then hung around for a while.

I'd maybe go for a DB one

The good thing about 90s is choice of livery! I think on the Class 90 Loco Group website they list about 30 liveries, which for 50 35 odd year old machines is quite a lot of say!

Nice livery list, can add 90040 in EWS to that too, it was one of my favs just due to the unusual nameplate positioning! 

 

I modelled it as part of my large fleet of old Hornby 90s for my Wells Green TMD some 15yrs ago now...tempted to recreate the fleet in Bachmann locos but it’d cost a couple of big ones these days, eek!

Ah James ... sorry, how did i miss 90040 off, i had it in EWS too (albeit not as good as yours), I was going to put it into Hornby DBS red then the Bachmann 90 appeared on the horizon so out went the mishmash of 90s:

 

the best of which were 90019 DB Cargo, 90034 ex DRS DB and 90037 ex EWS DB.

 

which was probably a good thing as cosmetically, they were all a bit too different... btw... Wells Green is incredible ... and is a source of inspiration for my forthcoming layout Johnson Street IEMD.

Ahhhh drat, yes of course, 90001 and 90002... in the forthcoming no one really knows what these are going to look like, how did i miss them, oh well, never mind... thank you adb968008

Whilst ive no idea the intentions of LSL, but todate their diesel fleet has tended towards Past liveries, we have to see if the 90’s go historical In Intercity, or hysterical in a LSL house colour....

LSL uses predominantly mk1/2, so, in Intercity the 90’s are going to look a bit odd.. where as an 86/87 are more at home in blue...maybe they might go blood/custard to match the stock ?

Variation of 1, at least one loco had a black roof.

 

Variation of 3, at least 90023 and 90024 had the faded red square repainted/cleaned up.

 

 

 

Earlier version of 16-18, without yellow compliant ends.

 

Even earlier version of 18, 90029 needed in traffic so released in red but without DB logos.
