The RFD is so much easier to work with than that bl**dy Freightliner bodyshell. I'm nearly there on the other LSL 90, having done 001 thought it only fair to do its playmate, couple of things to sort but you'll get the idea! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is actually similar to Martin's comments above - I.e. the decider is unaffected because if I put it in one of my other class 90s, it works fine. It just seems that part of the circuit board has blown or something Sometimes it is useful to have more than 1 of a model. I bought an IC & RfD 90 when they were released & fitted sound decoders to both after a running in session. The IC one sounded very thin & weak. Having another allowed me to instantly understand it was a faulty speaker instead of a poor choice on Bachmann's part. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know that there's an announcement on Wednesday. I'm hoping (and I'll be disappointed) for a new N gauge Class 90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete the Elaner Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Slow down guys. We have no idea what Bachmann have in mind. I hope you are not going to be disappointed if Bachmann don't announce another run of 90s. They didn't in the last quarter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are not going to be disappointed if Bachmann don't announce another run of 90s. They didn't in the last quarter. Yes, slow down. Bachy’s 90s are outstanding in so many ways but they have had problems. Ideally, the problem with the bogies would need adjustments to the tooling, which would take time. I rather hope that the folks at Bachmann will take that time to iron out the problems before doing another run – ideally also including a complete object deflector/“air dam” rather than providing an inset, which leaves a rather obvious line where there shouldn’t be one. Don’t misunderstand me, I have three and I think they are marvellous; I just think a few tweaks would round them off nicely. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so true @stonojnr regarding the white EX-GA Freightliner 90s and I'd expect to see them like that fir some time to come but that's common place when TOCs take on or take back other operators loco stock - my second favourite DB90, 90034 still wears DRS paint but looks great and unusual all at the same time. The same could be said about the EWS liveried ones, only they are still visible in the long term store sidings at Crewe having been liveried in early 2000s but have since seen active service all across the active electric network (WCML, ECML and including the GEML). Whilst a DB liveried one would be nice for me in the next batch of liveries, an EWS liveried one could be useful for any area of use under OLE, maybe aside from MML or GWML - only DB Cargo red 90035 has been operating on these two networks pre certification of the OLE.

Just one little thing - the tips of the pantograph aren't coloured on DBs 90s - that's a Freightliner thing - maybe just get them grey-weathered ? I noticed a couple of mine arebt as they should be.
