Click into your account, then click Rewards, then click Redeem. Decide how many points to use, click Redeem, and the system will put in a discount code for that amount in to the checkout for you. For 'no money down' preorders, it will reduce the balance due, when the model arrives and will confirm same when checking out.

RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted November 23, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2023 A blessing! A blessing from the Lord! Good choice - numerous type, useful on layouts as opposed to display cases. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stands in front of a 8F and says "without further ado" .............and pans left onto a pannier ! From excitement to disappointment in one pan ! Still, while probably not for me , there were lots of people been crying out for a new 57xx, so I'm sure it'll be a success . Wishing you all the best with it guys . Less teasing next time please ! That was me too! Straight from 'YES!' to 'oh - how's this going to fit in?',. But no worries, where there's a will there's a way, certainly more useful to me than a J69 :) 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMKAT7 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Good morning Accurascale, Woohoo! I have 2 Bachmann 8750s and 2 reworked Hornby 8750s but am going to order a 57xx for my BR WR collection. These I will keep, along with my Bachmann 64xx, 94xx and Rapido 15xx. Just got to decide which one🤔 Edit: Looks like it will be 7714 ordered, but renumbered to one further South than Birkenhead. Just a little bit of checking of BR allocation info to do. Cheers, Nigel. Edited November 23, 2023 by GMKAT7 Added info about loco choice. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philip-griffiths Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 @Accurascale Fran. Great, but give us a chance to pay for our WR 37s first please....... :-(. I can just imagine SWMBO's reaction... how about a 64 without top feed.... :-). or that Stanier 2-6-2T we talked about at the Bangor show... regards Philip - now trying to work out how to squeeze more money out of the bank. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted November 23, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2023 What a wonderful choice Accurascale! I predicted this to friends as it’s a loco with a massive amount of detail variations which fits the AS modus operandi perfectly. Not our prime modelling period but cannot see how we won’t end up with a few…. How about 8718 the last ex GW loco to appear at Worcester and the last surviving small cab 57xx in BR ownership … 1966. Also an SVR regular. Millionaires shortbread all round…. Bye Bye Bacchy 57 xx 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium RobAllen Posted November 23, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2023 Great choice for use on model railways.

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted November 23, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2023 Amazing price, fantastic level of detail, and a class that they can get plenty of variations out of.

WCML100 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Im liking this choice (for a steamer that is!) always was one of my fav tank engines when younger and visiting preserved railways.

G-BOAF Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Lovely announcement. Can one hope for a preserved condition GWR one, and/or a Preserved LT loco (hint L95 has run in both LT and Preservation in almost the same condition, aside from Vacuum pipes)? And while you are getting licenses for the LT livery, you might as well get the various Class 66 lined up as well! I feel a little sorry for Bachmann here, given that the Pannier has been such a staple for them since Mainline days, however they had plenty of chances to retool it, but instead went with more obscure variants. You snooze you loose! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'm sure this will be a fantastic model, but for me, there's little 'wrong' with my Bachmann model. It's almost a natural 'best seller', a bit like the Class 47, 66, and dare I say it, Class 40 diesels! Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
