For one the windows are too square, and for another there’s not room in the market. You’ve already got Bachmann with the top end expensive model with DCC lights and tail lamps, and then you’ve got Hornby at the budget end. I can’t see room for a 3rd entrant in that market, it wouldn’t make a decent return for Accurascale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, we love being in the 'nicer, more detailed, more technology and more accurate than anyone' but being cheaper than almost everyone space :) 6 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly room for a 2D in the UK market, and maybe not just the UK market ;) And the Hornby 2F is somewhat half hearted with known "issues". Though the 2F has certain reuses outwith the UK but within the British Isles... and of course there's those coaches prior use that Bachmann haven't tooled up yet. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black and decker boy Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Square windows like that suggest a MK1 derivative to me or a MK2 based EMU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbay Express Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 7 hours ago, guarded said: Looks like Mark 3s to me… Plus toolings for doors..... Mk3s would be a good call to AS standards, both for loco hauled and HST vehicles. 37s for sleepers, 31's for Paignton - Manchester Mk3 pullmans, 92 for Mk3 sleeper, did the 89 work on Mk3 before Mk4s were ready? A HST powercar then, with 41s too would be amazing. Who knows they could possibly even do some of the Network Rail oddballs, as Exclusives, in order to cover specific tool costs. Sure the boys could probably even produce a close coupling with buck-eye. That would be so sweet, plus of course now with the 31 spec, powered fans..... Only place you are going to get a decent rake of coaches with all the toppings at a reasonable price......plus HST powercars. 2 x A/S full fat class 31s = £340, a Hornby power and dummy currently = £362.99..... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnesiac Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) I would have guessed Mk2 Pullman coaches, looking at the window shape. Edited October 22, 2022 by Amnesiac 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonM Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 To my eyes looks like the space between the windows is almost as wide as the windows themselves. Just what could that be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
