Find a Bachmann 32-610 1. Remove numbers, builders plate and nameplate using a cocktail stick 2. Add 4 OHLE flashes (2000’s era Yellow) above the mainbody side cab handrail. (I used Replica Railways, but many options exist ). 3. add a 4mm high x 3.6mm width piece of plastic rod, painted roof grey to the roof on top of the stump on the roof at the non-pantograph end. 4. Repaint roof mounted pantograph wires red 5. Add nameplates (I used Fox, applied with double sided tape) 6. Add numbers (Railtec waterslide) When I first thought about this, 90002 had DVT style horn grills, but since its reverted to original making it easier. i’m not sure what else is different, if theres anything else i’m happy to hear ?

Answer.. not a huge amount that couldnt be done with slides on a tooling. The York based BREL mk3 Multiple unit family has a lot of similarities from a modelling perspective.

Someone offers a kit for a 185 cab replacing a class 350 cab. Bratchell Models built a business based on the York mk3 body. Bachmann has the 150 and the Desiro, so its within their gift, assuming they were tooled in such a manner as to do it. ive been squirelling away 150/2’s in order to do a 455/9. I need 5 bodies to do a 4 car (remove / replace or rebuild gangway ends and roof / body side mods to make the centre cars )… The moment I start it will be the moment they announce it… as ive not started, i’m confident they wont yet announce it… More chance 90002 as ive just about finished mine.

thohurst Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I'm desperately hoping there's gonna be one of the early AC electrics (81-84) in this announcement, or maybe a class 304/5/8.

Would love to see pretty much anything with a pantograph! The Bachmann EPB has a separate roof piece. So for 2 Roof pieces, 1 cab end, and a motor bogie frame… you could have a Manchester -Bury class 504 (using gresley/thompson bogies for the rest). sorry, kit basher in me. What surprises me is we havent had a 64’ suburban coach, which is what the Wolverton units were based around. Only Replica and only in limited amounts (as I recall the used the tooling for other things). Bachmann has so much potential in its tool room.

But have hard a lot of people mentioned them. I used to look after a whole fleet of FFSs but they are very rare in the UK, rather more common in the USA. Even there they are hard to get hold of now though I'm told. For those who haven't got a clue what I'm on about an FFS is a 120v 1000w PAR64 lamp used in rock and roll lighting. We used to run them in series pairs to cope with the 240 volt supply, but the 120v lamps had a better lamp life due to thicker filaments, and old school lampies often preferred their dimming curve. PAR lamps are getting much more difficult to get hold of now as so much of the industry has gone to LED and more modern fixtures. Back to trains, more FFA and FGA, yes please, I need another two complete sets! Andi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thohurst Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I too would also love to see another run of the FFA/FGA sets. Perhaps this time they can have a wider range of containers for the early freightliner sets, maybe some of the open containers & the guards pod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the J39 was slated for a re-tool (or possibly a re-chassis) a few years ago but was then cancelled by Bachmann. Good call on the J6 though 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mk3 range of units is vast, and whilst details do vary, it'd be a fantastic range to announce. With the Desiros, the 350/450s are 20m vehicles, and 185s and 444s are 23m. The 185s and 444s don't share the same sides either, so they'd have to be unique toolings. That said, I'd absolutely love a 185. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
