RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 31, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2023 Ah, the 'Glorious First' (if February). The day this wishlist turns into a mixture of cries of delight, the usual moans about prices, and no doubt the inevitable 'nothing in it for me'. Maybe this thread could be kept open for that sort of thing, especially moans about prices, while the release thread is just about any new releases - nah, I've just seen a squadron of Gloicester Old Spots passing overhead so that's the end of that idea.👀 PS Will EFE also be involved in an announcement - if there is anything to announce there? 3 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on previous announcements: EFE Rail yes. EFE Road no, wait for a MCC announement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is said they have the CAD ( n gauge) it would be a nice surprise. If we're getting into things Bachmann have the N-gauge CAD for which might appear in the OO range I wonder if an 8F is possibility? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outcast Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'm hoping for a new tool Collett Goods. Won't happen, but that won't stop me from hoping for it! 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGiraffe22 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 If they're not done with the toolings already, either an H1 or H2 in wartime black would be great =) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'd be surprised if there were any new toolings but I expect a few reliveries. I do hope though they do a re-run of blue-grey Mk2f coaches with at least a 3x bigger batch of TSOs. I know the prices will probably be knocking on the door of a ton for the DCC light versions but they are really the only air conditioned vehicles which can hold their own detail wise against the photos of the Accurascale Mk2bs so I'd be prepared to suck it up for a rake. They very seldom appear on Tatbay and when they do the prices reach telephone number figures so even if they came out at a ton a pop it would still probably work out cheaper. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the Lima version but it a bit dated now. Peteerfgf On 25/01/2023 at 18:10, Phil Bullock said: The DTC would also need retooling to become a DMC for a 3 car set…. A centre car for the Class 101 would be nice, but this is also complicated by the fact that the height of the windows on the existing model isn't quite right, which I presume is why a green version with a single horizontal band below the windows including the cab front hasn't been done. Would Bachmann want to produce new toolings that matched the error (and no doubt be criticised for doing so), or start again? I'd leave well alone until the tooling was worn out and produce something else high up on the wish lists (120, 116) instead. However, I suspect we'll see more 117s (plain BR blue with gangways please) before that.

When Kernow first announced it (it was taken over by Bachmann) mention was of 116 and 117. I always thought they should have done the 116 as it was much more widespread eg The Valleys, Midlands and Scotland . Trouble is it will be pricey ! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seeing as the existing class 69s are all going back to Progress Rail for rectification, it would certainly give the guys from Barwell a fabulous photographic opportunity or two. Is there room on site to get all seven locos in as well as 69008 onwards which are in works. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
