And they have already produced the class 57 loco in this livery too. The Northern Belle, now owned by David Smith (owner of WCR) and David Pitts with the traction provided by West Coast Railways in the form of 57601 'Windsor Castle' in Pullman colours and 57/3s in WCR colours (which hopefully Bachmann release) does not operate Mk2F FO coaches. It is made up of: Hornby have in their 2019 range, three of the Mk2E FO coaches 3267, 3273 & 3275 (currently labeled as Mk2D but I am told these shall be Mk2E as per prototype).

virginhst539 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The MK1 RF now has no branding apart from a small Pullman crest on one of the ends. Would imagine the other side is the same but can’t confirm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted September 20, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hope it's OK to post this that I received as an email from the club: As from 5pm on Monday 23rd September the Bachmann Collectors Club website will be temporarily unavailable due to a scheduled changeover to a new improved system. The process will take a week to complete with our new website available to use as from the 1st October. The new website has been designed to mirror the look and feel of the old one but when logging onto it for the first time you will be prompted to reset your password. Once this has been done you will have access to all the familiar features of the website and will be able to renew your membership or purchase club merchandise along with a host of other improved features. Collectors Club staff will be unable to process renewals and/or purchases made by telephone or mail during this period and we would kindly request that renewals and purchases are carried out either before the shutdown on Monday 23rd September at 5pm or after the new system has been installed on the 1st October. There may also be a delay in the processing of orders and renewals for a short period following this while we catch up on the ‘lost week’! I am sure you will appreciate this is a large undertaking for us and we would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and patience whilst these improvements are taking place. If you do need to contact the Club office for any reason during this period please feel free to call in on 01455 245 565 or drop us an email at: collectorsclub@bachman-europe.co.uk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2019 A perfect example of why as a predominantly N scale modeller I quit the Collectors Club, OO gets the attention grabbing loco, all N scale gets is a bog standard Brake Van... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and even as a OO gauge modeller it seems to be all modern stuff at the moment when I first joined the club I was told they would mix the stuff up so that everyone would have a chance of buying something and here we have an modern loco that is the last 2 models that has been for modern era now how about something for steam era fans lol thanks Alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No a very rare brake van, built for the MOD, written for internal use at Longmoor. Be aware nothing to do with the London Midland Region (or LMS).

RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2019 I guess it also rules out 90 024 in Malcolm livery ever making an appearance, unless the likes of Rails or Kernow do a commission. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi The way Bachmann seems to do things it wouldn't surprise me if it did or didn't as how many class 47s has their been my memory is said 3 and I think 2 class 08 in OO gauge and 2 N gauge 08s I hope I've got that Wright not that I'm complaining but can their not be something from a different locomotive as their is plenty to choose from. sorry if this seems like a rant but I wonder how many people are feeling the same way thanks Alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have to make stuff that will sell, so I guess they go with proven winners or variations. Im not sure how successful the EWS 47 was this time round as it seemed to hang around, the fact Heljan has one coming out may have stopped people paying the ever increasing price for a bachy one 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted November 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2019 Went to the show at 11.am had a look at the 90 didn't like it so walked away. By 1pm had rejoined the club and had the sound version in my bag. Had a quick play this evening and impressed no signs of the bogie issues which plagued my other class 90's and a nice touch is that if you lower the pantograph the sound stops -small things eh? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Genuine question but any idea why Bachmann would do a Belgian liveried Class 90 from the nineties as their latest Collector Club model? Just seems like an odd choice or would there be a decent uptake on this?...would have thought a Malcolm Rail 90 would have been a hit and perhaps brought either more people or those who left back into the club. Anyway good luck to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway good luck to them. Possibly because the Collectors’ Club model is some unusual livery variant produced in small quantities and the 90 is Bachmann’s latest model which is a step or two forward. Consider Markwj’s reaction. I want one too and as for Malcolm, my daughter works for a competing logistics firm and I wouldn’t dare buy one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was part of the hype surrounding the Channel Tunnel construction, in this case the forthcoming ability of through Europe freight. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries thanks. Actually I think Bachmann would want to do the Malcolm Rail Class 90 (if they do it) in higher volumes via the retail network to get a bigger return rather than consign it to a 500 unit Club model...but yeah the Belgian liveried 90 is sort of strangely growing on me even though completely out of my current day era 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter123 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Agreed. I guess Bachmann will do the Malcolm 90 in the main range. It's an open goal... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway good luck to them. Controversially, I’d say because they know the up and coming demographic with cash is one that remembers that loco, rather than young spotters getting a froth on over the Malcolm jobby. And who is to know what sells really other than large logo 37s... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
