RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted March 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2018 I was under the impression that 47628 was due this month... Not according to Bachmann Actually yes; announced as arriving in the Spring by Bachmann in February and will almost certainly have been made at the same time as the other 47s arriving now - they won’t set up a production line for 47s and then only do some before doing more later - something seems off. Perhaps they’re waiting for the etched plates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they’re waiting for the etched plates? No, plates are done found that out a few weeks back as they say Kernow on them I'll post a pic of the leaflet with the dates that Bachmann had today when I get home - see attached Edited March 24, 2018 by girlinb 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted March 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2018 Picked up my Colas 47 from the post office, very pleased. First time I've bought from the Hobby Shop, Faversham. Won't be the last. Fab deal on this model 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM47079 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 So 47714 is due out in July August as a sound fitted version? I wonder if this means not all 500 were originally offered and some have been held back for release as a sound version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonC Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Interesting the difference in RRP prices between some of those 47s which must be being produced at the same time in presumably the same factory now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why? Indeed - supposedly on the boat with the other releases. I can understand Bachmann not distributing all the new 47s at exactly the same time, but if there are suddenly months of delay it would be interesting to know why.

reevesthecat Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Just in case anyone else is wondering have emailed invicta re the Colas 47, they have stock and are working through the pre orders but have got bogged down with exhibitions etc as well so there is a delay in sending them out.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2018 Invicta were at Ally Pally and one of the main owners/employees is hospitalised at the moment I believe which has held things up somewhat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BigDee Posted March 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2018 Ordered yesterday from Roxley Models Surrey at SRP arrived today with next day free delivery.

RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted March 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2018 Are there any known problems with Bachmann 47 drive trains? Having run my 'Rebecca' in last week i started using it to pull a few wagons this morning and after a few runs it now has a graunching sound as it stops as if the gears are grinding over themselves. Sounds like the drive train is on the way out. As it is brand new and fiddling with fine parts in modern model mechanicals is now my speciality, I will seek a replacement but wondered if this is a known issue? Thanks.

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted March 30, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi all, Does anyone know anywhere that is selling 47727 "Rebecca" cheaper than £154.50? Thank you very much in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted March 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thank you to Classy52, Big Jim and MRDBLUE17 that replied to query a few weeks. I really appreciate it. So will a cocktail stick definitely remove the printed nameplates off of 805 without damaging the paintwork? Just clarifying because I have never removed printed nameplates before, just renumbered locos. Thank you very much in advance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 What you want is something like a blunt screwdriver that can carefully scratch the plate off. Have to admit, that 47805 is one I would leave as is... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2018 I’ve just removed the nameplates from a Bachmann 47834 Firefly. A little gentle scraping with a cocktail stick it started flaking off. Job finished in minutes, not a trace of the plate and not even too hard scratching, (I could have left it as an unnamed example), but instead did 47831 Bolton Wanderer, the plates are mounted in a different location, not that you’d notice it was originally a 47834. Hornby locos are an entirely different proposition, they are double printed and much tougher to remove using a cocktail stick alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 47831 is one I plan on doing with a Virgin 47 when I get round to getting one - as the lights are the wrong style on one end for 47814. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was someone who had an issue on here with a silver jubilee 47. He did manage to fix it. As with all these sorts of things it’s trying not to break anything while getting to the bits that’s the problem. I would try and exchange it while there are still some Rebecca’s in circulation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Bachmann's version of 814 also incorrect for 831 as it had a raised plated over headcode box at one end? https://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-diesels/5427939429/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
