DaveArkley Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm on IE8 and can't see the pics - first time here that have problems seeing pics.

They are unusually large for this site - apparently upto 1 MB or more, perhaps you have something preventing larger downloads?

phil gollin Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Olive green was introduced in 1967 – correct me if I am wrong. So for the steam era 50s/60s modeller there are just two items left, pity. Felix . So the Black items would be suitable for all post war ??? .

br-nse-fan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 So maybe I am missing something obvious... but would any of these new items have lasted into the early 80's..or would they all have been gone by then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dubdee1000 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 If they did most likely in a withdrawn status in a remote location XF I agree. It was the drab olive green OHL stock that was around in the later 70's/80's. The Springs Branch OHL train, based on Mk1 stock, turned blue in later 80's early 90's. The funny thing is though, i thought most of the electrification trains had flat roofs for the crews to work off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6975 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 There used to be a couple of black electrification coaches parked up just south of Stafford back in the late 80s. I don't think they were still in use though. I saw some somewhere else on the LM in the late 80s too, but can't remember where they were - Stonebridge Park possibly?

Ian_B Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 There was a train at Preston in the sidings between the station and the Longridge branch in the 70/80s. My recolection was that it was a dirty olive green colour rather than black. The coaches all had flat roofs and were marked Electrification.

Southernman46 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Slightly related to this subject., Buffers (Axminster) still had a stock of the 38-325K Bachmann collectors club 3 x weathered ZGV's for £21 last time I visited about two weeks ago.

Jawfin Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 1967!? Oh no! It's very annoying being stuck in the wrong region in the wrong era. I was almost excited for a second there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted October 16, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 16, 2012 Very nice they look - for me Bachmann are taking advantage of early production slots that have become vacant due to [...add your own theory...], hence the models are exclusively using existing tooling. I am however intrigued by the HST Enparts BG - HSTs came on stream in 1976 well into the BR Blue era and I well recall seeing ex-GW internal framed Syphon vans, GUVs and BGs in BR Blue marked up for the Enparts traffic. But never in olive green... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although many of the Enparts fleet ran without repainting from their traffic liveries some of the Enparts fleet were refurbished later and appeared in olive green such as http://PaulBartlett....nparts/efe5359d http://PaulBartlett....parts/e16bb3766 http://PaulBartlett....nparts/e73b778e http://PaulBartlett....parts/e1b84a464 Paul Bartlett PS can someone tell us the running numbers of the ex passenger stock as the illustrations don't show this.

I've used your excellent site a lot and have seen these. My point was that I had not seen HST Enparts labelled NPCCS in olive green (only in BR Blue) and I couldn't see any on your site. No doubt they did exist, though, as Bachmann does not normally produce a livery it doesn't have photographic evidence of.

dagrizz Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bachmann had samples of these on display at the Peterborough show. I asked about the expected delivery date and it will be sometime next year. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the departmental site to check out as well as my own photos - I haven't scanned some of my coaching stock DBs.. or DMs Paul Bartlett Hi Paul I contacted Bachmann as the photo on their site did not allow for clear reading of the lettering on the coach, and this is the response I got... hope this helps! Thank you for your enquiry. The van is as used in ENPARTS traffic and shows this labelling: Wording on BG from Left to Right is as follows: HST Enparts To work between Derby Loco. B.R.E.L & W.R. Bristol HST Depot Running No is QRX ADB 975613 Other wording on vehicle Interior Handbrake (on Guards door) Load 10 tons evenly distributed (under running No) All lettering is white in colour.
