gribble Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 wow £102 as much as I like the Bachmann model, thats a bit steep, this months MR still advertises the DRS 20 so surely they cant be sold out? NL I believe they have plenty in stock and they are available to order over the phone. In the christmas MR they were listed as available for pre-order and in the January MR they were listed as in stock. They are still not available to buy off the website despite being in stock (http://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/store/displaystore.asp?sid=4819) so you will need to call the order hotline on 01858 438424 in the meantime. Although I am sure I wasnt the first to order these, it felt like I was the first person to call when I got through as the lady intially didnt know about this model and had to put me on hold to find out about it. Regardless, an order for a pair was duly placed and I look forward to getting them in the next couple of weeks. *gribble* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi all My example arrived today. It's very well finished and runs reasonably well, prior to bedding it in and DCCing. One small annoying point: on the nose end the 2 lamp irons are missing, and are not supplied in the detailing pack either. Most recent 20 "Disc" versions have the same problem ? I informed Bachmann about this back when the weedkiller 20 pair were released - but still NO lamp irons fitted or supplied Perhaps other purchasers can also contact Bachmann regarding this ?

chris bales Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Mine has also arrived. Great looking loco. One slight problem they come posted in a padded envelope mines been crushed resulting in the loco box having one side damaged. The loco's fine so it does not bother me but i think the packing side needs looking into to protect the item more in the post. Regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickL2008 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 That does look a nice model! do the headlights work, or are they merely decorative? NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike tugsandsheds Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 That does look a nice model! do the headlights work, or are they merely decorative? Headlights are just decorative, just in the process of detailing mine. I don't think its a limited Ed, just exclusively produced for MR, hence no cert.

TREVOR1960 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is one of a number of issues which is currently being taken up with COMAG. CHRIS LEIGH My Class 20 arrived last Monday (10th January) luckily in one piece as it was also very poorly packed. Payment had been taken from my card on 14th December. Payment for the Class 08 shunter was also taken on the same day 14th December but no sign of this after a month. I 'phoned the Order 'Hotline' and after being held in a queue for nearly ten minutes (Cambridgeshire Media Associates always answered immediately) was told it should now be with me in a few days! When it says in the magazine 'Please allow 28 days for delivery', I didn't realise this meant they were going to sit on your money for a month and then post your order. Pretty poor service in my book, even allowing for Christmas holidays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB 34067 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi All, Just wondering does this model have working lights?? as the two shots above look like they do. James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
english electric Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 no they dont have working lights, they are painted on lights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB 34067 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Oh right thanks for info just looks as the main headlight is real, though I do think its time Bachmann fitted lights to there 20 models.
