Lots of 37s & 47s around at the moment, plus LEs in Cornwall (6 so far, which would cost you nearly £1500 without sound for one of each!) They will be hoping to see some of those clear first before adding more! Otherwise they will become the 21st Century 'Lima' . Wouldn't say no to a £19.99 bonanza tho! The longer they wait, the more the price will go up too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs233 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Will certainly get the WYPTE 158. They did venture quite a distance outside of West Yorkshire. Recall potentially late 92 one running from Wakefield Westgate to Holyhead. Also a few years later on more than a single occasion they worked Man Airport to Cleethorpes. They did get around at times.

ndg910 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Praise the Lord. Bachmann are hopefully through their retooled diesel phase for a while. Does that mean some steam models will get retooled or we might get some new models. I had begun to label Bachmann as a modern image manufacturer. Am glad I will have to rethink that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J72, 94xx, 1P, Caley Goods, LNWR Precedent, H1, H2…. my guess is they are following the £, a lot of steam ends up discounted in recent years. I admit a retool of the original Royal Scot would be nice, however that too imo seemed to hang around, and it was old. Things like a Stanier 2-6-2T, and an LYR 0-6-0 would be very interesting, its not that steam is ignored, its the LMS thats been ignored by all companies of late, ER, GW and SR have been served to excess.

Standards_in_OO Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Is the North Norfolk Railway 4MT 2-6-0 just a one off?

We just need a 170 in saltire with working BSI for modelling the peak services.... that or it will be another 158 in the new year.

RMweb Premium Simon Lee Posted November 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2022 One thing I keep waiting for in these announcements is a re run of the Polybulk wagons. IIRC there was only ever one run of these and then they disappeared into the ether. Has the tooling gone missing / damaged ? With the new "full fat" 47375 a run of these would, I would have thought, been a a good seller. I emailed Bachmann a few years back and was told "no plans" Any thoughts or better knowledge? Thanks 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a waste to have them and not use them or that's my excuse at least! Bird in the hand etc… The Saltaire 158 is coming… the Saltaire 170 is long gone.. prices on ebay for a good one are very high, who knows if more of them will ever follow. Realtrack would do more Saltaire 156’s would be my guess, but they seem busy with other versions currently. As things like a Scotrail EMU are unlikely and the HST is done, I think this is your only hope for a while to pose along side new mk5 sleepers. I will say though with 156/158/170/HST, plus Azuma, Mk5’s (and LNER HST) Scottish highlands is one of the few areas of the UKs contemporary modern scene to be really well catered for in passenger stock… its pretty well served for freight too with logs, containers, ECC, sliding door vans etc…. Almost certainly next year you will be able to drop in a mk3 Scr pushpull set with 47/7 too and still be uptodate… just need someone at LSL to get interested in McRats.

As for the 170 I could have sworn they were working on a new tooling for them before they moved to the quarterly product drops. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2022 6 hours ago, Dunsignalling said: Volume 2 of Weddell includes a statement that, when these coaches were formed in 4-sets, only two vehicles carried dynamos "sometimes the brake thirds and sometimes the two composites", which suggests that not all sets were formed BTL+TL+CL+BTL in LSWR days at least. There is also one photo of a BTL (in SR livery) that shows the definite absence of a dynamo, so the Trio-C system may have been perpetuated when these became 3-sets. To be absolutely certain of the exact arrangement, one would need contemporaneous pictures of both the brakes in a given set. John I've been working on my OCD about Coaches and as I do not knowingly remember seeing these, I won't fret about those glitches. However John, what is your excuse for having a Set 'down your way'? I'm struggling to think of an excuse for Seaton Junction, but thinking maybe late 50s and a Red Set is a possiblity on a Scouts' Special (got a puc of a T9 on one of those around that time). Waddya reckon? I've already decided that maybe a Dub Dee, rather than a 9F (as I have two of those for actually identified workings), on a diverted WR Goods. However there maybe a glut of older ones coming on stream now? Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
