Craig1989 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Here’s to hoping for the mxa lobster wagon that’s a common sight on engineers trains these days. All Bachmann would have to do is tool the body as they have the chassis from the bda cheers Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted November 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Though none of the items causing such offence is coming from Bachmann who, TBF, have been by far the most prolific producers of r-t-r Multiple units up to now. Rightly or wrongly, the industry seems to consider them beyond the market's comfort zone on price. Even the Swindon Cross Country unit (Class 120) that has been at or near the top of the wish-list surveys for about a decade hasn't yet had a look-in, and that's only a 3-car set. I can offer little in the way of a solution to the issue, but we SR steam fans who, in the past were largely forgotten, took to buying at least one of anything Southern that was produced, and it eventually resulted in something of a boom. Could a similar strategy work for MU fans? No idea, unfortunately. John Edited November 1, 2022 by Dunsignalling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted November 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2022 In the interest of self indulgence, an updated 40 with the same cab window treatment as the 37 and additional underframe detail. Given the likely price, my wallet would be very depleted. A 45/1 as mentioned above would also be good, though it’s easy enough to convert a 45/0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello everyone John is right...the Class 120 has been in The Top Ten of The 00 Wishlist Poll since 2013. In 2019 (the last Poll to run), it was equal 9th position overall. It has consistently been the highest polling DMU by a healthy margin. Brian (on behalf of The 00 Poll Team) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 My prediction: The Titfield Thunderbolt in TT (note the nice bit of alliteration there...) Though seriously, the 120 DMU would fit in many folk's wish list. Good geographic spread, green, blue, blue/grey liveries; could also run as 2-car (eg Central Wales). Spent many an hour in those saunas on the comfy seats (and in declassified 1st). Great units. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More 158s are a must! Although now I've got an ex-EMT one in for TfW colours, I now predict we'll finally get a TfW one. Same goes for 150s... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased an S Kits RHTT set (fully built etc), then 12hrs later, Hattons announced theirs. I purchased a CMAC 3D printed 175 kit, then before I started building it, Revolution dropped by. I got a TfW 67 painted too before Hornby announced theirs. But at least my colours will be consistent across the fleet as I got a 153 done too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted November 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 1, 2022 I think you might be expecting a bit much. Bachmann have actually introduced quite a lot during the year, I don't think it's reasonable to expect a new loco every quarter. Probably a few more liveries on 37s I would think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though the class 25 must be close, maybe early next year. ive seen a few class 24 bargains recently, which may or not be an indicator.

Embarrassing ;D Before an 84 (83, 82, 81) as well? Not to mention an 80. Still, I can see a sort of logic in going for the unusual. Following that logic, we might even get a Lecky 70 before the early AC electrics. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Bachy started on the early AC electrics? Working pantos and beautiful finish – ahh! Much more interesting than retooled duplicates. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
