Wolf27 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I've yet to see any of these locos with a rake of Hatchett Mk. 1's. I currently have four Deltics, a Coronation, schools, 9F and a couple A3's sat atop a rake of Hatchette mk1's. just seemed appropriate somehow!

Sabreman64 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I can't say that I'm thrilled with the subscription to this collection. I started my subscription from issue 2. I've had four direct debits charged to my bank account. But so far, all I've received is issue 4. No issue 2 or 3 and nothing after issue 4. Not impressed.

S.A.C Martin Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Just realised the black five - which I had no intention of buying - may have a purpose for lily modelling after all. A suitable tender top for my 1948 era model of merchant navy class loco Belgian Marine as it was on the ECML. "For my modelling" - not lily! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams442T Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Stick a frog on top. I don't think that would be appropriate, he said Belgian Marine not Matelot Francais............. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Either way! Interestingly, there is also a BoB/WC GBL variant later on. That may donate a few pieces to my MN model too including glazing if it's good enough. Very interesting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47164 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Amusing reading as ever.....and after all the deltic is only meant to be a replica and not a serious model what do we expect for 8.99? It still looks better than a Lima example and brilliant for a modelling starting point.. People do seem to be fooled by that great marketing phrase.... Precision model!!!!! And let's also not forget the Hornby/corgi rubbish steam locos on plinths that are no use to man or mouse and more expensive and no use for modelling!

WD0-6-0 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) I've decided to scrap my conversion of the scotsman and use the cab to recreate LNER 4419 when (I hope) Bachmann release the GNR Atlantic. Edited May 21, 2014 by WD0-6-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobhead Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 City of Truro will follow the Black 5. It looks like a copy of the Bachmann model, there's break gear on the tender and I can't spot any raised panels on the tender sides. That would rule out Kitmaster (If the small picture is the actual model) Regards, Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnylinny Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 City of Truro will follow the Black 5. It looks like a copy of the Bachmann model, there's break gear on the tender. Looking carefully at the picture, I'd be tempted to suggest that the "brake gear" looks more like the "web" between the tender wheels, due to them being cast as one piece. If it is, that'll be a huge pity as it will ruin the open look of the tender chassis, and will be nearly impossible to hide without taking a saw to the metalwork.

You could be right, it will be exciting to get one and pick it apart. I'm working on a Kitmaster/Dapol one at the moment and the firebox looks different on the GBL picture, maybe it's a Bachmann/Kitmaster hybrid?

Smiffy2 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So that's two each for the LNER, LMS GWR and BR, only the one for Southern. Presumably the T9 will be next. Or is it Locomotion first? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobhead Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 There was a list posted somewhere in this thread that seems to be fairly correct, if so the next engine would be the K3. The T9 is listed as number 20. Regards, Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Found the list. Next up is a Light Pacific, so sticking to the equal distribution of big four locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrel Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Since the series is based on locomotives in the national collection, and so far copied on RTR models I would guess at either a Class 77 or more likely a class 87. The NRM has a class 71 and a class 84 but there are no models for them to copy. Having said that locomotion is on the list and there is no model of that to copy. Something that puzzles me how come Hornby and Bachmann are struggling to get supplies from China but amercom are able to produce a locomotive every two weeks. I know they are not motorised but still. Perhaps they are not made in China? I'm just thinking out loud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby are relocating production and Bachmann UK have to take there turn with all the other ranges produced by the Kader factory. It has been said to me that the US market dominates and consequently the tiny, in comparison, UK production gets pushed around as a result.
