Swifty11 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hello all, Forgive me if I am wrong, but I can't find a thread for bachmanns new class 57/3 in the popular Network Rail bright yellow livery numbered 57312 and the product code is 32-761, I have seen the Bachmann page but I wanted see if anyone has the model and what it looks like. Also, does anyone know where you can buy new dellners? As Network rail has modified the couplings and the knuckle couplings applied 57301/303. All the rest of the NR fleet is fitted with a slightly modefied coupling, please view the article in the current Rail Exppress article for pictures. If you have purchased one of these models please post a pic for allto see this fine new addition, Thanks, Swifty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2012 This was the livery sample prototype in the Bachmann cabinet at the Ally Pally show back in March: The current issue (October 2012) of Rail Express has a little review and a photograph of the production model which suggests they are on the boat and fairly iminent. They are probably going to sell out very, very fast when they arrive. Sods law of course that Bachmann are doing 57312 which since its annoncement is the only one to have received a name so the model is out of date already!!

Im going to try and get ther ASAP when Hattons have them and buy one, thanks for the picture and yes it is our luck that the one model they make is the only named one! Honestly, do NR not think of railway modellers. I'm hoping somebody will make replacement del ers for the models as ALL of the models have a different coupler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 What exactly does NR use these for ? Why would they sell out fast ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty11 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 What exactly does NR use these for ? Why would they sell out fast ? They use them on engineers trains as well as unit drags, as they have dellners fitted then they can be used to haul units. You can also use them coupled to a 350 as they did do a 350 drag and also they are a popular class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2012 Plus the old 'anything painted yellow with a Network Rail logo on it = Ebay Profit' theory means the carpetbaggers will be hoovering these up for resale pretty quick.

Also I saw a Hornby class 47 in network rail livery. I thought, your joking! And someone was bidding on it, it finished at £40!????? Some people just are in it for the money, it wasn't even re sprayed well! It was the worst painting I had ever seen! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpshooter Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Picked up mine from AC Models in Eastleigh yesterday...apparently they were only delivered the day before. Looks very nice indeed with a comprehensive bag of pipework to add and a separate box for a speaker, which should make fitting sound a breeze. The only error ( although not really an error) was the fact that the loco was named a few weeks back and now carries black "Peter Henderson" nameplates, but Bachmann cannot be blamed for missing this if it only just happened.
