RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted March 10, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nobody seems to have asked this yet - is the class 43 is a new body tooling, and not just a renumber of their existing (ex-Mainline) class 42 as they've done in the past? Pretending that a 42 is a 43 is a bit naughty n this day and age The Birdcages looking interesting, as does the E4. Will they do the original shorter smokebox for the LBSC version? The Bachmann website states that the 43 is new tooling. Edit, link added: http://www.Bachmann.co.uk/details.php?id=93&vis=2 Hopefully the 42 is as well.

Coach bogie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nice to see a 64XX 81C I wonder if I can drop a set of 2251 wheels in, alter the splashers and make a 54XX (no 64XX in the Westbury area unfortunately) MIke Wiltshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The North East overlooked again, cheers Bachmann. All the wish lists cry out for Q6's, J27's and the K1 was high on the latest. Quite disappointed My earlier weather forecast was right then.... Weather-wise, Sundays announcements should bring heavy wind from southern England spreading to the west, blizzards across the Grampians, showers of ‘now’t in it for me’ around Newcastle,.....

James Harrison Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Just noticed the reliveried stock announcements- LNER oxide brakevan and LMS cattletruck put into both LNER oxide and LNER grey. So I'll be getting those if/when Ian Allen or Modelzone get them in- they seem to be few and far between in Birmingham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 10, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well I'm in the planning stage of a layout closely based on Dursley in Gloucestershire, so at least one wanted it before 10am!

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted March 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2013 I keep wishing for one of the old panelled type GWR autotrailers (original or ex Railmotor conversion), not a BR one. Some were still in service into BR days, so plenty of livery options. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretending that a 42 is a 43 is a bit naughty n this day and age It's listed as "new tooling" so we may assume that it will represent a 43 and not a 42. The 42 tooling is getting long in the tooth now even though it's been updated a little with most issues. My hope is that the "illuminated head code" is not illuminated by brilliant white LEDs as per the recent 812 and 827 releases. These locos were fitted with incandescent bulb illumination so a dull yellowish glow is the most that is required. EDIT = SNAP! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Interestingly those modeling post 1956 are going to have a long wait for their BR maroon Thompson corridor coaches.

The best thing is Mr coachman, the last time a modeller complianed from the North East a message was sent from the Higer levels in Bachmann with words to the effect of, thank you but the north east locos will be put back now......... wounder what the message will be for this year Good morning everyone at the Bachmann trade fair reading the replys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 What is interesting is how little interest has been expressed in the wagons. I don't do 4mm, but the Grain is well overdue. The Pipe and Tubes were only a small proportion of the total fleet when there were a million wagons, but by the 1970s they had largely replaced the RCH open merchandise as the open of choice - and then the engineers got hold of them and they had extended lives with some lovely liveries. http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brtube http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brpipe And, for me, a personal win on the Warflat which I knew was finally on its way back in the summer, a very versatile base (as is the frame of the Pipe if they do the standard one with the drop link brake rigging). Just a few at http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/?q=warflat (there are othes in the departmental conversions - tunnel inspection, crane runners...) Paul Bartlett I haven't scanned through the thread Paul, but the 4mm wagons were the first thing I looked at! Having just put a Pipe in primer, I shouldn't be wholly surprised, but there's a really interesting selection of vehicles there: bitumen conversions for the monobloc tanks [TTA if you insist]; grain hoppers; warflats (now there's a type with huge conversion potential for the various strip coils) and the suggestion at least of a new 20 ton RCH tank. Given the way the monobloc is tooled the only surprise is that the different ends have taken this long to appear. Some good things to look forward to as and when they turn up.

coachmann Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 You could always offer a bespoke re-painting service, buddy! Dave.

'CHARD Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Wickham - this eclipses Hornby's Sentinel as the ultimate in useful small traction, that's very tidy indeed! Postals to match what we already have - excellent. Obbo Car - also a brilliant release. 20T tank, Tube, Pipe, Grain - actually so much of interest on the wagon front it will take some sinking-in. Loco-wise, the Stanier Mogul is a beautiful announcement. Twin-centre-panel Peaks with the nose seam have been overlooked by everyone so far - but not here, as they represent the numerically most well represented body style to have traversed the Waverley. Thanks Bachmann! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerr Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Interesting that they are making a DBSO as they only have one coach to run with it! There was only one Mk2F FO in the ScotRail fleet, all the other Mk2 air-cons were Mk2E FO stock and Mk2D TSO and TSOT stock. This is a point I raised some time ago, and so had my doubts that Farish would revisit this livery I completely missed 3284 being the sole Mark 2F FO, and this will make an interesting revinyl project However, weren't there also two Mark 2 (air con) FK, in ScotRail blue stripe livery? I can't seem to find these in my records As an aside, it would be good to see Dapol release a Mark 3A TSO and CO in ScotRail blue stipe to match this (and thus fill the gap) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams442T Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Although us pregroup modellers are relatively few it seems that Bachmann have realised that the 'pretty livery' collectors and the often long lived items make these more than viable subjects. l shall certainly be supporting them s far as my funds allow. l suppose l may have to cut back on some other areas, but l need to go on a diet anyway............

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 There's nothing on the list that leaps out at me, but there are plenty of models I will add to my shopping list, starting with the LNER wagons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nice list, thanks Andy for posting. With Hornbys recent announcements, availiability, reruns, limited batch production etc etc etc much discussed here, along with my ever decreasing amount of "spare money" my philosophy is to wait untill they are actually in stock (Hattons or one of the 2 "local" modelshops - none in my home town) and pop along to have a look before buying. Not in stock - no buy - simple for me. Good to note the Covhops are on there way, and a Stanier Crab to pull em also (or more likely my Dublo Black Eight. That's about it for me. Good news for the hobby - summat for (nearly) everyone. Brit15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 40-something Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 24/1, Pipe, Tube & Grain. Brilliant for me, cheers Bachmann!!!

RMweb Gold Andy W Posted March 10, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2013 Excellent set of announcements for me - love the 64xx pannier and Hawksworth autocoach as the last time I travelled in a BR steam push-pull train was with this combination from Stourbridge Junction to Kidderminster. Stanier Mogul, Pipe, and Tube wagons are pretty much essential for a West Midlands setting as well. I'm sure I could find space for an inspection saloon and a Wickham trolley too! I'd be interested to find out whether they plan to make the same diagram of shunters truck as Hornby, or a different one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 10, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2013 How many people will decide they absolutely have to have a Midland Railway 1F now, whereas at 10 o'clock this morning the thought had probably not entered their heads?! Well, one, definitely! 1 x1F = 1 fewer x 64XX, so no contest here Cap'n (however if the 1F had been a Coal Tank ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
