84A Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Four minutes before 12:30, tut tut... It was a no-brainer really, just how much of the Brighton Atlantic tooling is applicable here? I'd image a fair amount - I still believe though that, from an aesthetic point of view, the C2 would have been a better model. It would no doubt have come with additional tooling costs though.

JSpencer Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 They got that wrong, C1 is supposed to be a Bullied 0-6-0 Q1 that never yet appeared as an NRM special. What is this green thing? (I'll be buying one anyhow - please do an SECR Wainwright 'D' class next). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I could quote rhyme & verse from the thread of 11 months ago dealing with Bachmann's Brighton Atlantic announcement where members were saying a GNR Atlantic should follow done by the NRM seeing as the chassis might possibly suit. This is why I was surprised few people had twigged and that this thread ran to so many pages. .... Edited July 29, 2014 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd image a fair amount - I still believe though that, from an aesthetic point of view, the C2 would have been a better model. It would no doubt have come with additional tooling costs though. You might be surprised but very little in fact.

S.A.C Martin Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have ordered two BR Black versions and am very happy. My DJH 62822 one will now appear on eBay later this week as a buy it now for not a lot of money. One will stay as 62822 and the other will become an LNER liveried model. Quite frankly it was a superb choice and I am most gratified to the NRM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2750 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great to see this announced. The former head of Locomotion Models had enquired for some advice on detail differences within the class last year, and along with Mr Graeme King we visited Locomotion with Yeadons in hand and did point out the numerous differences within the class (including tender differences and how some had a smokebox saddle and others didn't). I've just ordered the LNER liveried one, and the prototype photo on their site appears to show a saddle (the preserved version doesn't), so hopefully this will be one detail difference incorporated. My involvement was very very small in all fairness, however Mr Tony Wright talks about his recent involvement with the loco in Wright Writes, which in my view is a very good sign indeed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeg Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) You can now place an order for one of three C1 models on the Locomotion Models website. I obviously missed a page when posting this. I have ordered the LNER green version. Mark in OZ Edited July 29, 2014 by Markeg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harrison Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Well I'm very pleased with this. It is now possible to form, quite easily, a collection of east coast motive power from the 1900s to the present (251, Flying Scotsman, Mallard, Deltic, the HST and the Class 91). With a bit of work on the Bachmann 'Emily' or with a Kitmaster Stirling Single that date can be pushed back to the 1870s. Now what a collection that would be!

JSpencer Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) IMHO, I personally found it (edit: remove quite and add a little bit) a little bit expensive for a (edit: ok not so small) express loco when you think for £55 more you get an APT-E. Still I've ordered one, because it was a loco I've always wanted. Now we need some coaches and a Stirling single to go with it. I wonder how much my H2 will be in the end.... And that SECR D class????? Edited July 29, 2014 by JSpencer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted July 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 29, 2014 £179?! I hope this model is a proper exclusive for that money. I am still struggling to placate my wife over the £140 she paid for my Christmas present for the 'exclusive' MR 1000 that is now to be available in a general release set complete with coaches for £120 .

alfsboy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I was surprised as I heard this months ago but not a specifically locomotion model so I assumed someone else .To me its in a sense old news. It can stay where it is at that price .Different if it has been a Stirling single . Edited July 29, 2014 by alfsboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted July 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 29, 2014 Still no Terrier then It would be nice to see 'Boxhill' get a chance. But hey ho, there's always another day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted July 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 29, 2014 Dont forget that part of the price includes an element for the NRM itself as a contribution to saving these wonderful engines. Of course they're going to be more expensive than if it had been a regular release. Thats like complaining that their shop charges full RRP and doesnt discount like Hattons.

GNR Dave Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Just brilliant ! Sooooooooooooo happy with this announcement. Ordered a Great Northern and LNER version. Guess this explains the slow progress with Bachmanns Marsh atlantic. I'll still get one of them when they appear, two if they do it in LBSCR livery.

RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted July 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 29, 2014 It would be interesting to know if the model is exclusive for a limited time (like the midland compound) or totally exclusive (like the prototype Deltic appears to be)? The details on the website are sparse. Andy did a brilliant review of the compound which mentioned a time limit for it, the only mention I have ever seen regarding this info.
