ThaneofFife Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 as they are doing the prototype HST power car 252s could they maybe look at the Mk3 or do we think that market is already covered by Hornby and Oxford? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boleyn Road Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Would be nice to see a steam loco - it’s been ages since Bachmann have announced one for their main range! Personally, it would be nice to see a refreshed J39! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfsup Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I wonder, and now hope that as Hornby has announced one, if Bachmann will bite and give us either an FGW Local Lines 150 or 158? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Geep7 Posted January 29 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29 I live in hope that Bachmann do the 117 in blue, as I really don't like the prospect of respraying my green one. Also, another run of plain blue Mk1 GUV's would be nice, they are like hens teeth, unless you want it with BR Property Board on the side. As an aside, anyone bought one of them, and managed to remove the Property Board logos and stripes without affecting the livery? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wish Richard would hand the announcing job over to someone else. He is a really nice bloke but does not have great oratory skills.. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opelsi Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Sorry to differ but I actually like Richard delivering. Very genuine and nice guy as you mention. Prefer someone real to someone slick or plastic. You know he knows his job and I prefer getting it from the horses mouth so to speak, as opposed to a professional great on delivery but just doing a job and not living and loving it. We all have different viewpoints I guess. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have different viewpoints I guess. That's great and I support that. I just wish the announcements didn't have the production value of a 90's health and safety video. In today's world of social media you would think they could hire someone to film and balance the audio. Compare it to the Bachmann video above. If you are going to tell me the new coach I want is £80 at least make it look a little more professional while you punch me in the balls. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
40002 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Some Mk2f TSO's in Blue/Grey as per usual a certain website is selling a couple today for stupid money. A Class 101 in Plain Blue with 1st class, I believe the last Plain Blue 101 they did was a Newcastle set with no 1st class as the Newcastle units got rid of 1st class quite a number of years before the rest of what became regional railways. A retooled and substancially improved Deltic, with either no Bogie Chains or ones that are substancially better and more reliable than the Accurascale ones and where you don't have to remove them to take the body off. OK I expect this is very unlikely it will happen, I think Accurascale have largely cornered the available Deltic market, I'm not sure the Deltic market is as big as the 37 market which can likely support highly detailed models from 2 manufacturers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanbasher Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 My personal hopes for what may come from the Bachmann announcement would be... Diesel locos: it would be really nice to see the class 57 brought up to the standard of the 47 & to have the ability to correctly show all 3 headlights as per the prototype instead of the 2 Bachmann have always had. Electric locos: bit spoilt for choice on this one, but a class 81,82,83 or 84 would be amazing. More liveries for the Class 90 & maybe a new improved 86 to go against Heljans offering. DMU: The fabled class 170 upgrade would be most welcome, as well as a much needed upgrade for the Class 220/221 Voyagers, a Class 222 Meridian & maybe make a start on the CAF family 195,196 & 197. EMU: Upscaling the Class 319 & 321 units from N to 00 would be most welcome. Maybe take the morr heritage plunge & go for classes 303,304,305,310,312 etc. Again the CAF family of 331 or 397 units. Or introduce the Networker family & include a Royal Mail 325 alongside classes 465/466. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, it would be nice to see a refreshed J39! As each announcement has approached I've been more convinced each time that they'll be a new steam as each time is longer since one was announced but also each passing announcement goes without one I become less convinced one ever will be. I'm sure one will eventually I'm just less convinced each time that it'll be 'this time'. I do hope that we see another Double Fairlie as 'James Spooner' as it is 'almost' just a relivery of the green Merrdin Emrys with bells added. Not being a new tool I think it is a possibility not a definite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Personal hopes - new run of Quarry hunslets - the second hand prices are now getting silly - updated 4MT tank loco - corris locomotives.

As you say, very little to zero chance of a new Bachmann Deltic. Accurascales second batch address the chain problems and also from the samples my personal gripe - the overstated windscreen rivets on the first batch. Hopefully they will also address the varying degrees of reassembly required on the first ones too (and to be fair my AS 37 and Manor were fine in this respect) :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr chapman Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think a new steam locomotive would be the T6. With a preserved locomotive suddenly in vogue and the cross country sets from EFE it makes sense. Another run of EFE LSWR vans in lswr livery would be welcome. I would very much like an upgraded 170. The price of the second hand cross country livery units hardly makes it worth buying the old tooling. And I must admit I was very impressed with my mates sound 158.

The Corris coaches in both clerestory, and "normal" roof shapes are very "light railway" and would easily stand plenty of "fictionalising". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium E100 Posted January 31 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31 (edited) I reckon more 47's to make use of this under used new tooling and so as not to miss out on Heljan taking the interesting liveries that people have been asking for. A few more 37's but only 3 at most, though I suspect it's the same factory as the 47's so they may struggle to do both at the same time. I think they'll be one big ticket new tool in oo but otherwise probably not too much else aside from mk1's and I think n gauge will be under represented. 009 will get the USA announcements included depending how close to delivery those are. Almost forgot but I reckon the EFE Newton Chambers should be in this one as arriving too. Edited January 31 by E100 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
