Jeff Smith Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I would be reluctant to put an entire consignment in one container, or even in the same ship - insurance may pay for losses but not the lost goodwill! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have half a load it’s a small container and a full load fills a large container... Edited June 26, 2018 by martin_l_jones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventnor Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 In the Bachmann Colas 70 thread, a member advised that a consignment for Bachmann arrived at Felixstowe, by container, last Friday. Andy Y conirmed this, so probably multiple lots of models that were expected, such as the Baldwins and possibly the Freightliner container flats, are included. Obviously these will need to get to Barwell into warehouse and QC checks, but may not be too long. Thanks Alex and rembrow. I have also contacted Hattons where I have a pre-order for both. They have replied saying they are expected in stock any day now. Cheers Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) A little bit of a fun video before installing the recently purchased Digitrains Baldwin Sound Decoder. So much for keeping the noise down to avoid detection... Hope you enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llJa30Ws_mk Edited June 27, 2018 by SDJR7F88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Derails Models Posted June 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2018 Received confirmation today that the models are now at Barwell and are being readied for sending now - estimated despatch to retailers being this week, maybe next. All three 'first batch' variants apparently; 590, Peggy and Hummy. HTH 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Rails Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Our stock arrived this morning. What fantastic looking models. I think my favourite is Peggy. What about you? https://railsofsheffield.com/groups/2447/new-Bachmann-arrivals 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floreat Industria Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 My favourite is certainly "Peggy". I can't wait for mine to arrive. I've made a little layout and a coach kit and one of the weathered wagons is waiting. Out of interest, the locos were named after children of General Jackson, director then Chairman and Managing Director of the Clay Cross Company. "Peggy" (real names Margaret Beatrice Meinertzhagen Jackson) was his eldest daughter and "Hummy" (real names Henry Humphrey Jackson) was his second son.

swsjames Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I’ve just confirmed my order for no 590 and am looking forward to trying it on my layout. The big question is: will it cope with Peco 12” radius ,points? My Heljan Manning-Wardle consistingly derails on them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES No Problem on the Baldwin re the MW Check the pony back to backs and remove the pony power pickups, which tend to inhibit the free movement of the ponies,, the driven wheel base is sufficiently adequate for power collection.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted July 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 6, 2018 They are also fine on 9" points. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floreat Industria Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My "Peggy" has just been delivered. What a super little loco. Etched name and worksplates are in a packet. Slow speed running is excellent and the motion is fun to watch. Even my wife likes it! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Smith Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 So was there ever a GVT version mentioned to go with Peco's coaches? Different cab back, no window shades and GVT chimney cap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton40 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My Peggy has arrived and is absolutely superb. There are only two (minor) critisisms I have; there are raised rivets over the name, making the suppied etched plate stick out too far, and I feel Bachmann could have made removing the speaker wires from the bunker easier, so the non DCC users can fill the bunker with lead. these are only minor issues, which in no way detract from an excellent loco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevelewis Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 For info I was ordering from Tim at Arcadia Models Shaw today, he advised me that he was down to his last 'Peggy' ( the red one) and just a 2 or 3 of the 590 and Weathered 'Hummy'......when these are gone it looks like the next batch will be 12 months away. Any one interested, the price is right and telephone ordering advised 01706882900 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The black versions are far more versatile and quite easy to respray to liveries like Peggy. The running is very good, but keep an eye on the minimum radius. Pickups seem good even on the older Peco dead frog points, it sails through the Peco mainline 009 points. Since the L&B supplies dried up from Heljan the 009 layout has been mothballed but with the Bachmann 042 etc from the US range, it can be altered to a less grand size than the L&B and put into use again. Despite the "fixed" nature of the wheel arrangement, it handles slightly bumpy track quite well although a really high bump or transition from a gradient to level can make the chassis rock on the middle wheels. With a load of coaches the effect is a very slight lurch as it crosses the high spot, so keep transitions smooth. Crew figures being fitted, cast metal for the weight, and as many small details as possible around the footplate and cab. The coal space needs filling up with lead shot. The Hunslet etc., when supplied, look even more interesting. Pre-ordered and a second Baldwin on its way. soon. Supplies seem stable at present and the price competitive from most stockists.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted July 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2018 The running is very good, but keep an eye on the minimum radius. Last weekend I had one running round a layout with 16cm radius curves. (6 1/4 inches). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
