RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted March 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2019 Bit silly this considering its not in this livery currently .... yes i know people may model the era where it wore that but surely the current fade away livery on a 57/3 would be more apt - especially as there isn't a RTR model available. Seems to me this livery must be causing the manufacturers and issue as no 37s have appeared in it either - tho that may be to do with WIPAC lighting - tho with the 20/3s coming sometime, that might change in the near future.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-farms Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Given that limited editions are usually one off's and not standard liveries surely this one makes sense. Whereas I model N gauge - my stepson has a OO and loves DRS so this may have to be purchased. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2019 Not exactly as expensive, 4p cheaper, to a Yorkshireman that’s a whole teabag he could be drying on the washing line for re-use And yes they are standard features must admit i thought ‘that’s an old livery, not for me’ but seeing the picture it does look rather nice and I may be swayed! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The price is the same as that now quoted by Bachmann for 32-755A Arriva Trains Wales (Revised) so for a Collectors Club model it is actually cheaper that would normally be the case which is the a few quid more that their latest quoted price for an equivalent model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted March 25, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think many of us were expecting a Class 90 in one of the SNCB, DB or SNCF liveries or a more recent one-off like First. There have been a lot of Class 47/57s as limited editions recently, so a pause before another one might have been advisable. Hope they sell well/quickly but I suspect not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a lot of Class 47/57s as limited editions recently, so a pause before another one might have been advisable. Hope they sell well/quickly but I suspect not. Personally I believe this one will attract strong sales. 57/3 models have held their value well (generally) with a number of them accumulating in value on a well known popular auction website... Whilst pricing on said website are not necessarily reflective of the market, such as the over inflated ‘buy it now’ prices seen on some products, it gives a good idea. With the model also being complete with Lady Penelope etched nameplates and IR crests, it sets it apart from a lot of the resprays available as most can’t source them due to copyright etc. Although some do have them, it is increasingly difficult to get hold of existing nameplates because the original release from a number of years ago depicting ‘Lady P’ in Virgin colours has become increasingly scarce in recent years. Although the likes of Rainbow Railways will have sold a lot of 57307s in the cable theft livery, I would think some will sell their respray or relivery it and replace it with the RTR version. 2 resprays have appeared on said well known auction site since this weekends announcement but this could be just a coincidence. That aside, there has been a lot of 47/57s. I would love to see Bachmann release some special edition class 90s from the huge variety of liveries they have worn. I’m particularly hopeful of a 90024 in the stunning Malcolm logistics livery. Hopefully we won’t have to wait long.

rob D2 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I’m sure a 90 will feature soon, but seeing as the standard releases are just about in the boat, I’d think all manufacturing slots were tied up 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see versions of this in resprays on Ebay, usually from the same firm and they usually are asking in excess of £220.

When I heard that 57307 was a limited edition last weekend, I immediately thought of its current '20 years of DRS' vinyls. Worn since July 2015. Yet it appears this livery is one too far for Bachmann who have previously done delights on the 66s including the Tube Map and a MSC ship. What I do not understand, Dapol accurately model the complex class 68 livery, why can Bachmann not?! Copyright Flickr. Ross McK.

This is one 'limited edition' livery I have been looking forward to and my budget for it is unlimited! Its a must have for me! Hopefully a retailer shall be bold to commission this as a limited run, as it shall be one expensive livery for Bachmann to print (cannot help think, Hornby's water labelling would be more suitable). I recall reading that Bachmann does not allow commissions for 18 months after delivery of any new tooling? Copyright Flickr. clagmaster ... This is another fairly unique livery for a limited edition - Copyright Flickr. Martin Haynes 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted April 3, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2019 I do wish they would do one of the ex Thunderbird 57/3’s in WCRC at some point.

Steamport Southport Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 But we've just had a 57/3 announced and already have two Class 47s available. Can't we have something else instead? Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, would also need the Oxford Blue Mk2F FOs too... But you are right, ran a good few times with Virgin Mk2F FOs too. As for locos. I have ViTrains 47501 & 47813 plus Bachmann 47805 ready for the Cruise Saver! Plus the occasional 37/4 could be used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood why they didn't draft 2 GUVs for the rear as the last 2 MK2s were predominantly full of suitcases ! How many mainline registered GUVs are left ? I can only think of a few BGs too, and they are associated with railtour charter stock. the ones left are mostly stores vans on preserved railways, maybe some in Civ Eng / Barrier /Network Rail etc related use, or somewhat derelict after years of abandonment. It would need some cash to bring, what is ultimately a non-revenue vehicle back to service, when a tagging some extra TSOs for minimal effort and cost to do the same job.

Steamport Southport Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 New magazine dropped through the door this morning. 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.
