dibber25 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The pre-production sample of our Bachmann SR Pillbox brake van in Satlink red and yellow has arrived in the office and been passed for production. It currently awaits photography and will then be available to pre-order. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddys-blues Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi Chris, just another question, is there a plan to do a run of Trans-Pennine TSO twin set ? Best regards Craig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I can reply to both questions here. Yes, we are looking at locomotives. In fact we were discussing something the other day and my memory is getting SO bad, I can't now remember what it was, other than that I though it was a good idea! Anyway, I can't give any advance info, of course, but I do know we've a surprise in store that's fairly imminent, although not of interest to modellers of the current scene. In view of the disappointing sales of the Trans-Pennine models, I think it is unlikely we'll be re-running any of those. Finally, we are still awaiting a price from Bachmann on the SWT Class 450 but since MUs are adversely affected by Bachmann's price rises, it is possible that this model may not be viable.

muddys-blues Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi Chris, thanks for the reply on the Trans-Pennine coaches, do you know how many of the original released sets are left in stock ? Best regards Craig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi Chris, thanks for the reply on the Trans-Pennine coaches, do you know how many of the original released sets are left in stock ? Best regards Craig. I don't think we've huge numbers of the coaches although there are more than we would like. We had originally thought that we could do a second pack with a TSO and a full brake. Unfortunately, because limited editions bolt on to production runs, and Mk1 and Mk2 coach production runs don't coincide, we can't have the two together. Maybe we should ask George to do a renumbering feature for these vehicles? Would that enable those who've bought the existing sets to get some mileage out of the remaining packs?

muddys-blues Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi Chris, thanks for taking time out to reply, I ordered another set yesterday, I have a set of transfer that contain alternate numberis for TP coaches, so that's a little project for me to do. I am toying with the idea of declassifying the FK, but as yet I cannot find any eveidence to support this happened, does anybody out there know otherwise ?

CHRIS LEIGH I'm not sure full brakes would have sold all that well anyway - there were plenty regional railways BG's around going cheap so should just need to respray the lower grey on those. A TSO pack would have been useful, but I was guessing that might be the case judging by how long the existing sets have taken to shift. Unfortunately the existing packs give a lot of FK's to get 4 or 5 TSOs as found in most formations! I've already got 2 of those sets, not sure I'd buy any more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kintbury jon Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 One option would be to do a pack consisting of a TSO and a BSO. I ordered a set last night, at £54 including delivery they are great value. I look forward to receiving them. I wouldn't bother renumbering the existing packs but you might find that you can sell the coaches individually. I'm sure you'd shift the TSO's at £30 each.

Best regards Craig. I get the feeling that if I ask, "what am I going to do with a load of unwanted FKs?", I might not like what you suggest....On the other hand, if that meant we sold 50% of what's left, thats better than selling none of what's left.

CHRIS LEIGH Were FK's found in any similar liveries? like were there any Mk2a FK's in the Scotrail livery in the one Mk2 non-air conditioned set? I'm just pondering how easily another FK could be used productively with minimal respraying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRIS LEIGH Hi Chris, thanks for giving this option some thought, perhaps an offer of TSO's £30 posted and FK's £25 posted could start the ball rolling to clearing out so e of the stock, you may be surprised how many people will buy an FK, but the TSO's will fly out at that price.

RMweb Gold 30851 Posted May 14, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2014 I didn't even know these were available - shows how hard I look for things! So you should have less of them in stock now just because of these postings. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMartin90125 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Who handles the orders and customer service for these MR limited editions - is it the magazine or is it Kernow? A couple of these limited editions interest me, such as the coaches, but having experienced some extremely poor customer service when my subscription got messed up by the magazine company making stupid mistakes and making the situation worse does not fill me with confidence (that and those annoying "customer service surveys"). Kernow are okay though, not bought online but have from Warley, always helpful and polite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
