john beckett Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Very nice model. I'll be getting one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Bachmanns 57 is a good model, but I think maybe the "Thunderbird" grills that are where the serk shutters are, could be replaced with some bit more finer as the mesh used for it does look a little course ... Wonder if Bachmann have sorted out the missing pipework on the bogies NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well known etched product supplier (*) is on the case - with a view to retro-fitting the DRS 47's and 57/0's that have acquired similar radiator grilles.

RMweb Premium richierich Posted October 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 13, 2012 Tempted by one of these, although slightly outside my area (seem to operate from Eastleigh or Stowmarket), unless anyone knows if one or more has visited York (in NR livery)?

NickL2008 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Drs 57/3s have also had these grills fitted Yes all the 57s more or less; some /0s, /3s and Firsts' /6s .. The Bachmann one will be pniged off when replacements are availiable ... for a challenge how about rebuilding the whole coupling? Bachmanns effort to me has always seen a bit "undernourished" ... something ill do if I ever get one of these models NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I picked up my 57/3 from John at Crafty Hobbies at Barrow show this weekend was surprised to see it out already as he had only got them in before the show.

RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted October 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2012 I gather that a part delivery arrived at Barwell and that they intended to hold them there until the rest arrived. I was given to understand that someone sent those out by mistake, hence very few dealers have them at present. The main load is presumably on its way from China so no need to panic if you have one ordered! Godfrey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
