shunny Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Does anyone know if this new model is exclusive tooling like Deltic or exclusive livery/time period like LMS compound? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Storey Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I too am drawn to watching skirts - but only if there is a grown-up lady inside. I can flipping vouch for that....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) 4 Engines?! The D17 is at Shildon and looking sublime. Quite worthy of being selected to be a model of Bachmanns desire to model the NRM. Down at York is Aerolite and at Darlington 'head of Steam', is the Q7. But... I don't suppose Bachmann could measure that J21 while they are at Shildon. Something useful to do waiting for the train back to Darlington.....

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 27, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2014 Does anyone know if this new model is exclusive tooling like Deltic or exclusive livery/time period like LMS compound?

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted July 28, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2014 It all depends. If we don't know what it is, it is difficult to say if it will be a one off not appropriate for further production. If we do know what it is, we could say that it is something that is suitable for other periods and liveries in the main range. Or maybe not.......

byron Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What fun this and related threads are! As a modeller of German railways, I could not care less what is on its way, but enjoy reading every post (is there a nurse in the house?). Is all the frothing a British thing? I do not recall the same excitement in Germany. Damn good marketing anyway. When does the next thread start? Mike 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I think it will. What does anyone else think? Has anyone heard any rumours? Will there be an embargo? Feel free to select any question and elaborate on it. Or else you could go completely off-topic. What an enjoyable froth-fest this has been...................... (Editied for spill chicken errer...........)

Hroth Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I recall coming up the Staffs&Worcs canal (the locks before you get to the blue brick railway viaducts at Wolverhampton). It was early on a beautiful July morning in the late 70s and we were aiming to get to Brewood AFTER the hire boats had left and BEFORE it got too hot.Anyhow, the locks filled with white(ish) foam that broke off in the breeze as we topped the lock, and tumbled away across the towpath. Someone must have dumped a quantity of unneeded industrial detergent into the waterway....Mmmmmmmmmm... Frothy! Mind you, a Stirling SIngle would be nice, Didn't Bachmann do one for their US Thomas franchise?Carry on folks, I'm just waiting for the Hornby P2!!!(Though I may just pop down to Sainsbugs later today to see what all the fuss is about...) :-) Edited July 28, 2014 by Hroth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
69843 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Does the first person to have guessed it win a prize? I reckon I have an idea.... Frankly, I just want to see one produced! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams442T Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Mind you, a Stirling SIngle would be nice, Didn't Bachmann do one for their US Thomas franchise? I did have a look at whether converting the 'Emily' to a Stirling Single would be possible, but sadly it's out in many respects, and I decided I would be better off scratch-building one or finding a Kitmaster one. They however are like gold-dust. Still it might be easier than trying to make a decent Caledonian Single out of Hornby's abysmal offering! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I have a huge gut feeling that the biggest surprise tomorrow may not be the model, but the price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I have the 1980's Hornby one. I did have the triang one too but sold it. I cannot see myself buying another however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Griffin Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What about a laser scanning device at the entrance door to both the nrm and shildon? Laser scanning the general public so they can release an exclusive set of genuine oo scale figures that arnt all the same build/height/weight??

Laser scanning the general public so they can release an exclusive set of genuine oo scale figures that arnt all the same build/height/weight?? If the 'uman rites lot protest about body scanners at airports then accurate model figures are a long way off thankfully. Would you really want a pack of pot bellied, greasy haired rucksack swinging great unwashed cluttering up your layout? 20 yr old Swedish au pairs don't do train spotting do they? (yes I know aim a train spotter too and so qualify for some aspect of the stereotype) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaneofFife Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Nope still no idea of the new model so it'll be good to have that element of surprise sometime tomoro regardless if its my kind of 'thang or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
