1977joey Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi Chaps, apologies if this is somewhere else & already mentioned on the forum, but all seems to have gone quiet regarding the expected retooled Class 37/4's & 5's, they're still showing 'on order' on the website. The Network Rail & EWS 37's were new on the list last March & were soon in the shops a few months later....but almost a year on we are still waiting for an expected date for the above loco's. Has anyone in the know heard anything? Again, sorry if this has already been mentioned elsewhere... Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted February 26, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi Mark The difference is the NR and EWS 37s were new liveries on existing mouldings. The 37/4s and 37/5s require new tooling, so this will take longer. Indeed, as we haven't yet seen any test shots I suspect they are at least 8-9 months away. Bachmann are having their trade fair next month when they usually reveal progress on existing models, and announce new ones. There may be a more accurate update from there. cheers Ben A.

mjkerr Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I was disappointed not to see the new N gauge 37/4 at Model Rail ScotlandI asked if it would be in stock by the N Gauge Show, and was advised that it was most likely but would definitely be released before the end of this yearAs I need to purchase seven of these, that gives me plenty of time to save up for the remaining twoEqually, I am disappointed at the lack of any further Class 47 with just the original three in InterCity, Royal Mail, and Large Logo BlueI have been waiting so long I have already decided to repaint these instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted February 26, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2013 Equally, I am disappointed at the lack of any further Class 47 with just the original three in InterCity, Royal Mail, and Large Logo Blue I have been waiting so long I have already decided to repaint these instead They also did the 47s in BR Blue and TT Green. While I can understand the frustration at the wait, for your own peace of mind it is better to just accept that they will arrive when they arrive ;-) Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ben & all the other Guys that have replied, that pretty much makes sence. I guess we'll have to wait on it & see if there's an update after their trade fair.
