D605Eagle Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Did any of you guys at Warley ask at the Bachmann stand when the revamped B1 was due out? My B1 is the only Bachamnn engine I've never managed to get to run right and I'm quite looking forwards to taping it to the buffer of D8233 and then doing some shunting! I've spend god knows how much time trying to make it run well, but I've given up trying since Bachamnn announced a revamped model. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I bought a Bachman B1 around March 2011, and it also quickly developed jerky running. I returned it to Bachman who repaired it & now runs smooth. The report was "bearings eased, lubricated & run in" so would be a wheels off job. This is the only bachman loco I have had trouble with.

the penguin of doom Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I asked the rep at the Hull show the self same question. I was told, "Dunno" and when I asked about how much would it be, I was again told, "Dunno". Not much help I know, sorry. Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyC Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 According to Bachmann's website there are B1s sheduled for Jan/Feb delivery. I assume they'll be fitted with the new chassis. There are 3 versions listed, LNER [317-714], BR early crest [317-715] & BR late crest [317-716]. The first two are shown as £92.95 and the last one as £99.95. No indication of why there's a price difference; its not listed as DCC fitted [ and the price difference for DCC fitted seems to be normally about £13]. Might be a typo of course!

No indication of why there's a price difference The first 2 modes are clean whist the last one is a weathered version which will obviously cost more.
