RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2018 Rail Express has stated that a further round of Rep Limited editions are due at some point and this time the focus will be on 37's - Anyone heard anything more? One of my local shops has said that he's expecting his supply of DRS 47s soon. And he's virtually pre-sold all of his order from Bachmann.

GordonC Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm not surprised, I think its a really good idea having the rep limited editions and some more variety with Class 37 liveries will be great!! I thought the 2018 catalogue releases for D+E looked a little bare and there must be more to come either as retailer commissions or like this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted January 19, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2018 . Already some requests for more 37s. . . . . . . .don't forget that 37114 Dunrobin Castle with large logo is still available to order. Details here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/122274-mickleover-mrg-announce-exclusive-Bachmann-class-37-at-derby-show/ So far our next loco hasn't been mentioned in this topic (but may be on another 'wish-list' elsewhere) and even if it had been requested, I wouldn't be able to tell you . . . . . . . . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widnes Model Centre Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 We were at the Bachmann Launch two weekends ago. There was no mention of 2018 Rep Specials. The 2017 rep announcements are due this month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Derails Models Posted January 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) We were told last year what our (Wales and West Midlands) 2018 rep special edition would be but then the item appeared in the 2018 catalogue range! When I quesitoned this at the recent showcase event, I was told that they will be done (albeit a different item to the one I was told it would be) and a further announcement will be made in due course. Unfortunately I know nothing more than this. Edited January 20, 2018 by Derails Models Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Dave Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just a suggestion instead of endless and pointless frothing and wishing any not contact or visit your local shop and make a suggestion to them about a particular model and they can then speak to others to see if there 8s enough interest and we already know that both Hornby and Bachmann are up for doing limited Short runs and then wishing and frothing can maybe become reality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rep editions are being made in 2018, the decision has already been made. besides shops usually have their own agenda's too. If you have a suggestion, best thing is make it directly to the manufacturer, and hope enough other people do the same, and that enough awareness is generated that the management listen.. then balance it against all the other priorities, and the budget, and the roadmap and maybe just maybe.. it'll make the cut in 2019 or 2020. Otherwise pony up £35-40k and commission it yourself as a run of 350, but again It won't hit the shelves until 2019/2020. Meanwhile there's froth.
