bike2steam Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Disappointingly, the Mogul is now shown on the Bachmann website as listed for release in December/January. I suppose that an extra four/five months won't matter that much considering it was announced in 2012/2013 ! What ?!?! I'm glad I've reworked the chassis on my kit built examples now.http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/47864-cannons-lane/page-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold farren Posted June 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I don't know, you've only done 3! You could always fit a few more on your layout, don't you think? Edited June 19, 2016 by farren 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2016 Disappointingly, the Mogul is now shown on the Bachmann website as listed for release in December/January. I suppose that an extra four/five months won't matter that much considering it was announced in 2012/2013 ! That's better going than the retooled Class 158...

Marcus 37 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 RMC hoppers have also been put back to Nov/Dec which were originally May/June. Quick swap with Christmas and Birthday means I now have a Hornby Class 60 winging its way towards RBE of this parish for conversion to an appropriate resident for PDW.

bike2steam Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I don't know, you've only done 3! You could always fit a few more on your layout, don't you think? I have 2 Bachmann ones on order, if they prove better runners, and haulers than the kit-built examples then the kit-built ones will get sold on to re-coup the cash - I wait with trepidation :-) . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2016 This just looks the nuts. Really nice model, probably the best rendition of the stanier outline boiler I've seen. The rivet detail on the wheels is very nice. There is also a lined black LMS outline on display, which also looks equally well finished. This model raises the bar again. (I asked b4 taking the picture). 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Long handrail knobs on the Tender are still there, but maybe they will be changed or maybe modellers will have something to do for themselves. Whatever, it looks like it will be a grand addition to many a layout.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2016 These looked so good I could resist a second visit. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tractionman Posted November 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2016 the LMS liveried loco looks fantastic, I'm certainly saving up for one of those, and likewise the Webb Coal Tank, what a beautiful pair...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Amongst stand out features of these are the AWS protection covers on the front coupling, drivers windshields, screw couplings etc (there's an NEM pocket behind the aws cover). 42968 (late crest / riveted tender ) is on display in the outer cabinet, with the LMS liveried Webb coal tanks. My pictures don't do the models justice, they are much nicer in the flesh, the paint finish is brilliant. I had 42968 on order, but I can see myself with all three. The LMS version with the red lining really looks good. Edited November 26, 2016 by adb968008 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Personally I cannot wait for this one to come out. looks amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midland Mole Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) To behold a thing of such beauty....

GreatWesternFan220 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Looks like Bachmann has got yet another stunner. These look amazing! Can't wait to get my hands on my pre-ordered 42968 when these are released. Might even pick up the other two when i get some money. Well worth the 4 year (i think) wait in my opinion. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Is Bachmann producing the early cylinders and late cylinders version? Top feeds should be simple to alter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 28, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2016 So today I've ordered a second example, so 42968 and 9 will be joining my collection, but the lms live red one is very nice... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black 5 Bear Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Talk about "Raising the Bar". This loco is absolutely stunning. Early and Late crest hopefully coming my way soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PMP99 Posted November 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2016 Quite inapproriate for my layout but also irresistible. I look forward to the real one returning to working order on the SVR in due course too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
