Road Stone Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Not sure if this is old news or new, but saw one of the shops has a special edition NSE Class 08. Just wondered if anybody had got it and if Bachmann have improved the pick ups on this model? Cheers, Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nse47 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi Jerry, I think this will be 08641 which started off as a signal box exclusive but I think Modelzone are now selling them too. I got mine when they first came out and the pickups seem fine, runs well at very slow speeds and rarely cuts out anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer_Saturday Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yes, 08 641 in NSE livery does have the new style pick-ups that rub on the sides of the wheels rather than the top. Mine is also a good runner and doesn't suffer with the same dirt problems as models with the original pick-ups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ron Ron Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 IIRC the pickups changed to the newer type at least 4 or 5 years ago. Every Bachmann class 08 released since then has them and a DCC socket. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
