RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2012 With demand for weathered vehicles ever increasing Bachmann Europe Plc has today released details of weathered multiple units in OO scale. These include the BR green 4CEP EMU (31-425B) No. 7141, 4CEP EMU in green with small yellow warning panel (31-426B) No. 7128, the First North Western Class 150 (32-925A) and the Windhoff Multi-Purpose Vehicle (31-577A) in Railtrack livery (No’s DR98910 / DR98960). David Haarhaus, European Sales & Marketing Manager of Bachmann Europe Plc said “demand for weathered items is unprecedented and we have decided to expand into the multiple unit market. The 4CEPs were particularly prone to weathering from brake dust which was an almost permanent feature of them”. 31-425B 4CEP in BR green (weathered) £170.35 31-426B 4CEP in BR green with small yellow panel (weathered) £170.35 32-925A Class 150 First North Western (weathered) £105.00 31-577A MPV in Railtrack livery (weathered) £148.95 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 For some reason the uploaded images are taking a while to upload in some browsers. They are there but it's being investigated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Quite nicely done but they all seem to have the same weathering (ex. the 150 which seems to have more around the doors and is slightly dirtier than the MPV for some reason). I suppose it is impossible to avoid "weathering by numbers" on production lines - they have successfully avoided over-doing it, however (except the MPV probably needs more). Best, Pete.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2012 The no-pics issue seems to be browser-related, as Andy Y points out, rather than location. I've been seeing all Graham's pics since he started posting last night. IE9 in use here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ive had no problems with seeing pics but am also using IE 9. Anyone know if the Bachmann 150 still has its motor coach blocked out by the weight in the motor... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil gollin Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 . I have noted that the price of the EMUs at "the" Liverpudlian box-shifter are unbelievably high ! . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6975 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 No pics using IE8 (waited 10 mins- still no joy). Firefox is fine though (15.0). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaneofFife Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 . I have noted that the price of the EMUs at "the" Liverpudlian box-shifter are unbelievably high ! . Why cant people just say Hattons or Rails or Kernow or whoever etc instead of this smoke and mirrors guff ? Sheesh..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboy Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Call me cynical but, is it just a coincidence that a lot of these are models which don't seem to be selling very well in their non-weathered versions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy P Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 ...... they have successfully avoided over-doing it, however (except the MPV probably needs more). Best, Pete. I imagine in between when they were new and when they were filthy, they were exactly this dirty at some point. RP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
