97403_Ixion Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi all, latest news from Rail Express / Rail Exclusives is that they are coming towards the end of March, as detailed here. As they rightly request, please do not call them for delivery updates as it will just slow them down. Not long now! Cheers, Ixion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi All, Anybody interested in splitting the the Transrail / Mainline set with me (I'd keep the Mainline one) so if anyone would like to buy the just the Transrail version from me please let me know via PM. Deal will be 1/2 the cost (£82.50) I'll be happy to pay postage. Regards, Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DGuru Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My Loadhaul pair arrived this morning Had a quick look at them and they certainly look the part so well pleased. Will put them on the rolling road later to check them out fully, but apart from the usual over enthusiastic application of grease by Bachmann, I'm impressed with them so full marks to the Rail Exclusives team.

chris bales Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My Loadhaul pair as well apsolutely superb and the designer box they come in also looks the part. If your waiting for these you in for a real treat i can tell you worth every penny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Loadhaul 37/7's arrived today. Very well finished and look really good. Couple of iffys ? On 37 884 the front cab windows are poorly fitted at both ends - both cab front L & R windows are over ? flush - sticking out at the bottom corner edges past the body moulding. Excess lubricant over one side of both models - pain to clean off but at least it does not damage the paint finish. Perhaps a slightly thicker grease ? like HJ use would prevent this happening, all to common with recent Bachmann models. EDIT: aagh - the bogies/frames etc are "swimming in it" Cab doors These are NON opening on both models what happened here ?? - the advance blurb stated these models would use the latest spec 37, which presently has opening cab doors. Anyone confirm if the other pair - Transrail/Mainline have opening cab doors or not ? TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
59205 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi, I may be wrong but i thought it was just the 37/4's that had the opening cab doors? As i say i could be wrong! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_l_jones Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Boxes galore today when I got home from work. Another Class 70 and two packs of Class 37's. Firstly as previously said, for the collector, they come in a nice outer box, they are extreemly nice looking locos, well packaged. don't appear to be any issues with mine. To confirm the doors do NOT open on any of the models. A few pictures to enjoy:- They ARE NOT FOR sale... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks for sharing the pics Martin! I am looking forward to the loadhaul pair arriving as have wanted these for ages but they are certainly well worth the wait! Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The) Youth Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 They look(ed) very nice models - shame I now model 1985 There is Cab and tail light switches on the bottom Regards, Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor37516 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Very pleased to reicive the transrail and mainline blue pack today, 37798 worked perfectly out of the box and is indeed running in this very moment, however that cant be said for 37702, there must be an error in the light wireing as with No1 end running forward it illuminates both No1 end and No2 end headlights and marker lights Similary in reverse only the tail lights work and at both ends . I have tried changing the lighting switches underneath, notably when i turn the tail light switch off the No1 end tails still come on. Any suggestions / tips please??

rob D2 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 They look very nice - I may have to get get some if they still have any . It's a shame they don't have a mainline and loadhaul pairing as ideally I would have either loadhaul and 37798. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
