RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 19, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2014 Assuming the models will be available to ship immediately, it's quite difficult to guess this time, at least any locomotives in OO. The only recent new loco arrivals are the J11 and Class 40, the main production runs of which could have had limited editions added. 40145 as preserved in LL Blue would be an option but isn't that already promised to the CFPS? As long as they're not yet more Eastern prototypes or in LNER Apple Green... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-farms Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Could this be where the GCR Liveried J11 is for I wonder? Other recent arrivals are the Dukedog and L&Y Tank so either of them could be a possibility - not too sure what they will be of though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowlander Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi How about class forty D200 in British Railways green with full yellow ends, as she ran in the eighties. I would certainly go for one of those models. With or without the new cheap sound chip! Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted February 19, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2014 L & Y tank in crimson? That would be nice. While I know the BR era is more popular, it is slightly annoying that Bachmanns LMS releases of this and the compound are plain wartime black.

GordonC Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It might not necessarily be one of the latest release models, things like the Class 37 and 47's will have enough one-off liveries and specials to keep them busy in limited editions for years Large Logo Class 47's have got to be a bit under-represented in model releases so I'll cross my fingers for an Inverness Large Logo Class 47!!!

martin_l_jones Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's about time we had a modern image effort from Bachmann, nothing really to suit us this year....hopefully from three choices we might be in luck... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it might not be one of the latest releases, but Bachmann only produced limited editions as add-ons to production runs of standard releases. So it really needs to be a variation on something that has recently appeared in the shops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I know the BR era is more popular, it is slightly annoying that Bachmanns LMS releases of this and the compound are plain wartime black. Why should you find historic accuracy annoying? The wartime utility liveries were extant for the best part of a decade, and for those who wish to model the closing years of Era 3, and the early years of Era 4, they would be a natural consequence.

RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2014 Given that the suggestion of a SWTrains 450 Model Rail special edition was not mentioned in the latest edition of Model Rail - despite there being an article on painting the 350/1 by Dave Lowery - and that Ben Jones has moved on, maybe Bachmann have decided to do it themselves for the Club. Just hoping it happens one way or the other. Godfrey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 There was a panel in that Model Rail edition, asking if there was any interest in Model Rail pursueing the idea of a LE from themselves. I can't tell you what page, but it was definitely there! Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2014 Stewart Many thanks! You are quite right, I missed it. There is a panel at the bottom of page 60. Must get some new glasses! I did send an email to Ben expressing my interest after I saw it at Warley. I will fire off another email to Model Rail.

RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 My guesses would be, based on recent production: J11 in Great Central livery 40 106 in green with full yellow ends complete with a pack of "Atlantic Conveyor" nameplates to represent the loco as preserved an exclusive Collectors' Club 25th anniversary wagon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB I know its accurate - however plain black is no use if you wish to model the era BEFORE WW2 when passenger rated engines were lined black or if we go back further lined maroon. They also simply look more 'atractive' in my opinion and given the success of colourful liveries like the C class and the totally factious yet attractive Prussian blue 4F, something more interesting than plain black would surely sell well. If you really want to be pedantic then I would point out that Bachmann's initial advertising for both the Lanky tank & the Compound give the LMS liveries as 'LMS Black' which is a bit ambiguous given said models, being passenger rated engines could carry either ' LMS lined black' or 'LMS plain black' depending on whether we are talking pre or post 1939 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
