RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted November 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2013 Now sold out on the website. Sweaty palms for me. I tried to buy one last night, but got a credit card glitch - there were 9 available at that point. This morning they were down to 6 so I had another go - still no good. Then I tried my wife's card (with her permission, of course) and hit another snag with that password thing. Finally it seemed to go through - we'll wait and see. It's hardly the end of the world if I don't get it, but I've been really taken with the look of the NRM model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian777999 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I assume that there will be a second run of these ? Was there a second run of the City of Truro ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osimabu Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I may be wrong, but I think only the prototype Deltics have been given a second run as a NRM special edition so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffy Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Derek Yes, I know, but one of the links was a bit vague in that it went to the products page not the product page. I simply clarified. By the way, the question was about the Butler Hendersons. The standard is available. The platinum version is not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaldust Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I received my model yesterday and have been putting it under test. A little sluggish on starting at first but nothing that 20minutes running in wouldn't cure. It runs very smoothly and quietly and is very good at low speed - even without using my feedback controller. Altogether a delightful model and well worth the wait. I don't suppose you can get the L & Y coaches to put behind it though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted November 22, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2013 Gave her a test run today. Lovely little model , smooth running through the speed range, no sign of a waddle! Really beautifully finished loco which I'm very happy to have bought. A couple of observations Buffers aren't sprung. Not a major issue as I run with tension looks anyway, just got used to them on recent locos. The buffers are also silver which i just find visually jarring and seems to draw attention to fact they are not sprung, but that's probably just me! It does derail pretty easily. Now this is due to my undulating trackwork not the model (I am suffering from baseboard droop , a very nasty complaint) but it is certainly less forgiving than other models eg prairie tanks that traverse point work easily. It does seem to run better backwards rather than forwards ,in terms of derailments.Initially I assumed it was because there was a bogie at the back , but actually it's the same mechanism as front. What is noticeable is that there is more movement in the wheels at the back than front. Not sure if this is intentional (doubt it).may experiment in easing wheel movement. Overall it's not an issue, just an occasional derailment on a particular section of the layout. I haven't got any suitable coaching stock , but she pulled 5 Mainline Period 1 LMS coaches without issue , and has quite a turn of speed. Ideal for your commuter expresses, although mine will probably be used on pilot duties (hence explaining the restored L&Y livery amongst LMS ). Limited current pick up doesn't seem to be an issue but I do use HF cleaners and therefore it's operating on DC not DCC Overall pretty happy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is inded a limited production run.You will have to ask Locomotion Models if they are going to repeat the run. And for those of you who have queries about pick up,track holding and sundry other niggles,mine exhibits no such problems It is a little jewel. Hats off to Locomotion Models,NRM Shildon and York and Bachmann,of course. Edited November 24, 2013 by Ian Hargrave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I did a quick test run of mine. Runs pretty well, negotiating complex trackwork without stalling. It nods ever so slightly as it runs along, but nothing major. Performance improved as it was left to run. Given how fast these sold out, coupled with the quick-selling C class in SECR livery, I wonder whether Bachmann could be tempted to issue a classmate in a similar livery?

truffy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Well Bachmann, not fighting shy of cranking the handle, have announced 31-463 (SECR liveried C class) for Q2/2014. Not quite "a classmate in a similar livery" admittedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Accord Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Have any appeared on eBay yet? Funny you should say that, see here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-L-YR-Tank-1008-NRM-Exclusive-31-165NRM-BNIB-00-Gauge-DCC-Ready-/221324259592?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3387f43108 Only a £100 write up over the NRM price! Still we shouldn't be so surprised that the ebay crooks 'entrepreneurs' have got in on the act - they've even used photos from the Locomotion models site to illustrate it - copyright?

I'm licking myself for not geting one, as now I have my Lanky tank I feel a pre grouping collection coming on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
