happyChappy Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Looking good. It appears that it may even have a working head/tail light. Hope the chassis is available separately as it will be very useful especially if it has a flywheel and runs well. It could well topple the ubiquitous Kato 109 from the 'chassis of choice' for scratchbuilders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MrTea Posted November 28, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Nice. Is it just me or does anyone else think there’s a hint of Dalek about the way it sits!

These locos do sit very close to the ground in real life making the wheels and the wheelbase almost invisible, and many are confused because the axleboxes and springs aren't visible. On the full-size locos they are fitted to the inside faces of the frames and the axleboxes are life-sealed. Does anyone know if there is a cunning plan to supply the distinctive large end weights/coupler blocks as add-ons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well topple the ubiquitous Kato 109 from the 'chassis of choice' for scratchbuilders. I doubt it somehow a) because Bachmann are unlikely to release the chassis by itself and b) even if they did I doubt they could get the price anywhere near a Kato 109. That’s one of the main reasons the Kato chassis are so ubiquitous, they’re so cheap! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

decauville1126 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Delighted to see correct prototype coupler blocks fitted. Presumably (?) these pull off to reveal plug-in sockets for 'conventional' 009. I might just get around to doing a 76.2x 009 coupler - for fun! I wonder if they are going to do a Trecwn-liveried one ....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Simon Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Hi, Having had the opportunity to pick up the livery sample and examine it, what struck me was the weight of the thing, it is heavy considering it’s size! Seeing the samples has convinced me to order one. Simon 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2023 They’ve done a very neat job 👍 Now are those scale couplers a swap in for the NEM and hook seen above in Andy’s photos or is there a new slot in coupler hook for the pin to retain? 😀 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 According to the entry on the Bachmann website, I may be interested in a 6-pin decoder but Rails points out that the spec has been changed to a Next18 socket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
