gr.king Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Will the final versions have the chimney upright and the buffer heads level?????? I believe the boiler handrails and ejector pipe, unless specially burnished, should be green where they lie over green boiler clothing...... By the way, only a thought - if they ever have it in the first place, do Ross Pop valves ever retain a bright finish in service? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, only a thought - if they ever have it in the first place, do Ross Pop valves ever retain a bright finish in service? This a LIVERY approval version only - it has no motor, for instance. One or two tweaks are being made to the livery but I'm not sure exactly what they entail. The handrail IS green but it is in shadow in the photograph. If the ejector pipe is made from the type of plastic often used for this type of external pipework it is usually only possible to have it in one colour.

dibber25 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Is there any news on when Marne is likely to appear? I'm hopeful that it will be pretty soon but I've nothing official to report at present. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard i Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 great to see another GC loco being commissioned. It would be lovely if someone would commission some coaches to go with it. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Due to the costs of tooling different bodies and underframe variants etc, coaching stock is a more expensive and consequently riskier proposition for organisations such as ourselves to commission. I think, with current tooling and manufacturing costs on top of postage and handling, the business of special commissions will be left increasingly to those with direct access to customers (ie retail stores). Projects such as the D11 are, however, perfect for magazines since the limited edition of 500 is quite small, the livery is unique at present, and the major costs involved in developing the model have been covered by the NRM and Bachmann. It's a two-way street, as the extra 500 models for us, helps Bachmann to spread the initial development costs over a greater number of models.

Any pictures would be helpful. Mark in OZ Bachmann has given us a December date. Whilst we don't yet have the models, we expect them any day, and if Kernow is to stand any chance of getting them in the post before Christmas, they need to start processing the paperwork now.

James Harrison Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Mine arrived today too; after a quick check that it hadn't been damaged in transit it's been put away for a few weeks. It looks absolutely superlative! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locoholic Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Bummer! I got the duff one - it wouldn't go backwards, and was none too happy going forwards. Kernow MC very helpful, but be warned if you're putting your "Marne" away for Christmas - check it works properly first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
