GreenGiraffe22 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think the Birdcages behind the H might just upstage my Merchant Navy on my layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterstgermain Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not to mention absolutely stunning Let's hope Donald & Kim settle their indifferences before Bachmann release them! We've waited long enough.... Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglian Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) I checked Facebook – I could only find one image but it looked very nice. Like many models it'll probably look even better in reality. If the H Class and the coaches are released at a similar time it will be something a bit special. Who would have thought that one day we'd see RTR pre-grouping stock to this quality. Edited August 13, 2017 by Anglian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) I just had a look on Facebook, and WOW that has just increased my commitment to buy a set of them in SECR livery! Absolutely stunning!! Times like this I love being a pre-grouping nut. Alex Edited August 14, 2017 by Midland Mole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had started running freight trains direct from China to the UK… On the subject of global trade I was wondering the other day if they should start building clippers again in a modern idiom. Very environmentally friendly and they have sail driven cruise ships. Sorry, back to wonderful SECR coaches.

trevor7598 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Here is scene from this year, of a combination, soon to be available in model form, with the introduction of the Hornby H and Bachmann's superb Birdcages. Images like these save having to use easing oil to get the wallet open. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil gollin Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) . IF you end up having a spare brake, you may want to look at one of the photos in this E-Bay offer ; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-x-35mm-Negative-BR-British-Railways-Scenes-Night-Engineering-Work-1960-/272796356245?hash=item3f83ee0e95:g:9SkAAOSwpIxZch8S Specifically this one ; http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/mTkAAOSwB9JZch8g/s-l1600.jpg I ASSUME it is a redundant birdcage brake being used as a crane accommodation/spares coach. Any idea of the colour ? P.S. Bachmann could do it themselves and do a coach to go along with its crane (whenever that is produced). .
