steve1023 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hey guys. Just a heads up of a forthcoming Bachmann/London transport museum limited edition of 20227 in its new LT livery to be sold through the London Transport museum website. Bachmann had a stand at the Swanage diesel gala with one on display, but I haven't got any pics though. Sorry. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy P Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Curiously, the model appears to wear a better proportioned "Bar and Circle" logo than the original judging from what I've seen of it! For some reason, in the eye of this beholder, the class 20 is more attractive than the L150 prairie tank. Possibly an unconscious thought that "anything goes" on a diesel whereas a steam loco should be historically accurate. That's not to say the red prairie is unattractive as such and each to their own of course. I am looking forward to seeing both working in my neck-of-the-woods over the next couple of weeks.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted May 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 11, 2013 20227 looks very nice but is anyone commissioning 20189 in its LU heritage livery? I would like the pair but, odd that it might sound, I'm not really interested in one only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy P Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 From the Heritage Railways website 28/12/2012 ".... two Class 20s are to be repainted in special liveries. One will be painted in a similar livery to Sarah Siddons and the other a variation of modern tube stock colours, in a deal with Bachmann Europe, which is to produce models of them in the liveries" I'm looking for some more recent confirmation but it would be logical that both would be available via the same source.

Roy P Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Flicking through the latest Heritage Railways magazine, I found mention of the L150 Prairie tank, but they also mentioned that the 2x class 20 liveries were also being commissioned from Bachmann. I believe it was again the LT Museum, but not 100% sure on that bit. Stewart From RMweb/Special Interests/London Underground. I'm sure all will be clear by the time of the Neasden Open Day or possibly the Amersham Heritage Day. RP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 A nice set would be the older and newer liveries.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 You could always get old Lima Class 20 repaint and re-wheel it XF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Clearly the sample didn't, but is the final model going to have a working high-intensity headliht do we know? Personally not a fan of 20227s livery, not helped by the roundle looking very odd. as noted ealier, the model looks better in this respect although the 'Underground' is not cetred vertically in the blue to aviod the door latches, and this is a bit weird. Had they redone the Metroplitan Railway Maroon it wore for steam on the met, and modelled that, I'd order one in a flash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would require a retool I would have thought. Now there's an idea.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This would be another model for Bachmann to consider? http://www.flickr.com/photos/67444577@N02/6561402663/ I am aware that Lima did produce a model of this however that was many years ago!
