HighPeak45 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Whatever it is it will be far to expensive for the average modeller. 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris56057 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Possibly more 37's and 47's.. Loadhaul, Mainline Blue and EWS would be welcome.. Edited April 28, 2023 by Chris56057 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted April 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Given that a magazine commission of 40145 has been announced. I wonder will we see more 40s? 40145 has been announced with upgraded DCC. There have been some tooling changes for a headlight but I do not think it is a full retool as per the 37. As always I am holding out for more 2Fs in blue grey or maybe 2Es and as usual a 3 car 116 or 3 car 205. I live in hope 😀 Edited April 28, 2023 by BR Blue 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted April 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2023 Yeah given that the Hornby Mag 40 40145 is expected over the summer they will have piggy backed on a production run . I expect we can expect to see some 40s announced . Looks like some sort of upgrade on previous model but not a full blown new model as with 47 and 37. Upgraded price though (the limited edition is £229.95 DCC ready and £329.95 with sound) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelsteadLane Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I’m really hoping for some Anglia Mk2F coaches to go with their DBSO. Full on praying for a set of those - that’ll then be everything I need for my layout rolling stock wise. A re-run of swallow will compliment them too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'd be happy with some blue-grey Mk2fs and some more FFA intermediates. A Reggie Rail 117 would also be a nice announcement. None of these items should be too difficult or high risk given they are existing toolings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the competition with the Class 37 will help bring Bachmann’s prices down to more sensible levels, without having to search for a bargain.

I am hoping for some 37/4s in DRS Compass next week! A Wessex Trains 150 or 158 before I am dead would be nice too. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Still waiting for a large logo scottish 47/4. A Strathclyde class 101 would be nice. A re-run of the scotrail dbso which I foolishly sold a few years ago, come on Bachmann get yer fingers out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfsup Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Some South West DMUs please; Wessex Trains 158 / First Great Western Local Lines 158 and South West Trains 158s would all be welcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several AS 37's on order as well as a couple of Bachmann 37's. Its all relative......you cut your cloth accordingly. Must admit though, the AS pricepoints are superb and if they can do it then they all can 👍 what a great hobby we have with all these fantastically detailed locomotives. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some snow ploughs and beefing up the sound next. It's a lovely model but there is still a fair amount that needs doing to it to get it right.

Benjamin Brady Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I think there has to be more 158's still in the system, a Northern one maybe. The Class 170 surly has to be on the horizon, there is plenty of operational scope and a scotrail shall fly off the shelves even at Bachmann prices I am sure.

I wouldn't hold my breath for Bachmann to reduce their prices, I know the did slightly with the 66, but that was older tooling that had most probably paid for itself. Larger, more established companies have larger, historical overheads than the likes of Accurascale, Cavalex etc etc. Even in Bachmann's core market, the US, their most recent highly detailed loco's are highly priced. I must say, I like that you don't hold back on your repaints and detailing on brand new models, to me that is what modelling is all about. Too many people endlessly comment hoping that X will produce loco X in X livery rather than learn the skills to produce their own. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm after the new RFD 37 to go with the Accurascale one but I will happily wait. Having Said that if Bachmann were to update their 40 then I would be a very poor man indeed! 😃 I do love tweaking RTR locos as I'm trying to recreate the good old days when I spent a lot of my spare time wandering around depots admiring the traction. It took a lot of psyching up to work on the Bachmann 37, and I managed to lose a lamp bracket in the process. There is a lot more at stake working on a £250-£350 loco rather than a £100-odd loco. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
