Fenman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 What a great list - and thanks for sharing it. LMS Porthole stock appears twice: I'm hoping the entry that has them "due soon" is the correct one. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 4, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yes it does as it is officially in the tool room but the next items due out as EPs so very close to the later stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattog Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I was told by Rails of Sheffield that the twins will be available in-store December/January but your update would suggest not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted September 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks Graham. Hopefully, if the class 40 is at the EP stage, they might meet their target of February-March 2013. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Cheers Graham, that bodes well for the Sleepers in time for Christmas, possibly. Maybe a re-enactment of Newcastleton's last stand will be viable in the early hours of 6th January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Interesting seeing what is 'in the pipeline' in that format. Perhaps it is just a happy accident but the list order suggests thought in providing a stream of models which moves around different sectors of interest within the hobby.

Guest Phil Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks very much for that list Graham. I know model manufacturers are not obliged to provide any of that kind of information, but it is very interesting, and kind of allows a kind of metaphorical glimse through the factory doors. In turn reinforces my personal choice of fave model manufacturer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2012 What a superb way of sharing information about future/anticipated releases - many thanks Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Scottish Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Same information appears in the Collectors Club mag that is just out. Don't know if Graham had a special presentation or he has picked it up from there. But I agree this is a good way to present information. Quite a nice Ltsd Ed of the Scottish D11 too..............tempted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 6, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2012 I attended, on behalf of Andy Y and therefore the forum, the Bachmann summer annoucement event at the Great Central Railway last Sunday, hence all the new annoucement topics that I started Sunday evening.

Andy Y Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I attended, on behalf of Andy Y and therefore the forum, the Bachmann summer annoucement event at the Great Central Railway last Sunday, hence all the new annoucement topics that I started Sunday evening. Which I'm very appreciative of as I was unable to make it to the event with holiday commitments (first one I've missed over recent years). I honestly didn't want Muz having to do mountains of work but I'm very appreciative that he did put himself out and relay the info as soon as possible rather than waiting for me to be behind the desk on Monday.

shortliner Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Is this a MAG-LEV? the first levitating loco I've seen apart from a bit of gravity shunting (about which the less said, the better!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapland Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The CAD drawing looks promising and will have to get one as have soft spot as I used to see them daily including on the Red Bank parcels near the former Middleton Junction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 looks like the old one, apart from the levitation feature of course.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
