Dick Turpin Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The magazine arrived here as well. I am particularly disappointed that from next year the club calendar will no longer be featuring the paintings of Malcolm Root, which was the primary reason I have been renewing the subscription these past few years. I think the time has probably come for BCC and I to part company at last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I’m quite the opposite , the Bachmann calendar has always hit the recycling bin instantly as I don’t need any kettle pictures on my wall, a distinct lack of dirty diesels ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it typical that they have a Members Day that is easy for me to get to and I'm away at a music festival? Never mind. As long as they don't announce another Large Prairie..... Posted that in jest. Before anyone analyses what Llangollen have as potential new issues. Not a lot apart from the Wickham DMU. Everything else is already available. Jason Thank you for the advance notice about the members' day. By the time I get my June magazine it is usually fully booked. I rang Bachmann this morning to book my place on 7th September. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted September 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2019 Members Day yesterday at Llangollen Railway. A good day out at what for me is my local heritage line. Was a tad disappointed at the lack of any new release or specials. At last years Club Day at Churnett Valley, they surprised us all by having 47 716 in EWS Duke of Edinburgh's Award as a surprise announcement and available to buy and take home on the day. There was also a flyer announcing the 3 Rep edition Class 37's. With that in mind, I was hoping for something similar yesterday and had fired myself up for a Class 90 in Malcolm livery as an exclusive Collectors Club model. Ah well, as they say, if you don't expect, you won't be disappointed. There were a few EP's in the display case to look at, the 158, Class 20/3's etc. Will download my photos later and post a few if they're half decent. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first I have heard that their is an EP of the 20/3. I would really appreciate it if you could share any photos that you have of them. Hopefully the Malcolm 90 will be announced at some point. It would certainly be a lovely Limited Edition. Thank you very much in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was referring to last years Members Day where they released a Class 47 that you could buy & take home that day, as well as distributing a flyer announcing 3 x class 37's. By comparison, this years Members Day was an anti-climax with no new announcements being made. Edited September 9, 2019 by Scottish-Exile 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate it. The 20/3 do look excellent. Their is plenty of detailing to the chassis and bogies. I am shocked that they are this far ahead with the 20/3s. I am sure this is the first time EPs have been seen for them, so they must have been produced fairly recently. It's also good that you have posted because ideally I would like x4 Compass 20/3s, and now that we have seen some EPs this would suggest that they may be delivered late in 2020, which tells me I need to start saving up.

They must have made significant progress on the 20/3s in recent months for them to now be at the EP stage. Maybe even more work has been done on them too if the EP has been completed since May.

So in light of the recent announcement from the BCC about the recently released BG in 'Northern Belle' livery, is it possible they could turn their attentions to the passenger saloons now that they have their superb Mk2F to use as a basis for these coaches. And they have already produced the class 57 loco in this livery too. Joined up thinking? Edited September 12, 2019 by CB Rail 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it as the prototypes are a mix of Mk2 e and Mk 2 d. Would like to see them tackle the dining car 325 Duart and kitchen/bar 1566 Caerdydd as then I would have the entire train in model form.

Matt Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I never thought much of the NB livery myself until the Bach 57 came out in NB livery - I saw one at a show and caved as it looked so beautiful - its now one of my favourite locos...
