RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 29, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2016 http://Bachmann-collectorsclub.co.uk/featured-products/class-47-no-d1733-in-xp64-experimental-blue-livery.html Decent pic on collectors club website Yes but it looks like a catalogue type image of a livery sample or computer generated rather than the actual model as delivered. A photo of the real thing alongside a BR blue loco would help assess the actual colour, if anyone can post one please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted November 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2016 Can anyone who's seen or bought D1733 confirm whether the cab windows still have the rivets and if the correct boiler water tanks have been fitted. Thanks. Boiler water tanks - yes Fixed rad grilles - yes Spanner boiler port - yes I think those are all the variables....had a good look at Warley Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locoholic Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Perhaps they could run the collectors models for members only for 6 months and then open up to non members to buy after that. I would have thought that members would have purchased one before the 6 months was up if they wanted one That's what happens - some of the slow-selling Collector's Club stuff appears in the shops after a while. It's a bit longer than six months, though, and you take a gamble if there's a specific item you're waiting for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted December 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Here's a few pictures of XP64 47 compared to a standard BR Blue one. Very happy with this one. Of note, the Bogies are also a different shade to the norm too. Edited December 1, 2016 by adb968008 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig85 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Looks a stunning loco, as a fan of the Duffs I might have to get me one of these. Nice pictures by the way. Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of note, the Bogies are also a different shade to the norm too. IIRC, all the XP64 stock - Class 47 and Mk1s had brown underframes.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2016 There were a couple of early BR blue repaints, shunters including a Southern Region 09 if I recall that also got the brown chassis paint as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As did the first proper blue/grey coaches when it became the official livery) Cheers, Mick The Corporate Manual (recently republished) describes all "underparts" of rolling stock to be "Dark Brown BS3-039". I remember it well, it was common especially on new and repainted coaching stock, very glossy and very smart. I don't know when they reverted to black laquer.

Guest spet0114 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just received my XP64 loco. Very nice model and very pleased with it. However, they sent it to the billing address and not the delivery address. As a result,the domestic authorities found out about it and I'm now firmly in the doghouse! :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flapland Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Was the doghouse the intended delivery address? Cutting out the argument ;-) Roy I think Andy should commission a small layout suitable for the dog house and publish it in a future edition. Perhaps the former yard at Battersea Power Station with is of course very close to a dog house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
