Stueyboy43 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Too rich for me plus cost of membership. Don't forget for the cost of membership you get a catalogue (but maybe you have one possibly), a lovely calendar, 4 magazines a year which are a nice read, an exclusive wagon and other benefits at large shows and the chance of a free day out at a railway - not too shabby! And the loco is fab too, I know as I have one All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonC Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Was the original ever seen in the North West around the Crewe or Manchester area. Do you mean for when the loco was originally painted in that colour or the latter 2000s repaint before Virgin Cross-Country replaced all the loco-hauled services with Voyagers? This model is of the original version with the headcode panels rather than the later repaint as the Heljan model was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Is this a Limited run of 500, how much is the postage charge on top.They usually are around 500.P&P is free. There's always a risk you can take, on that it may not sell, and that 18mths down the road they may offload them to shops., or one could show up on ebay. If you don't want to join the club, you could always tap up a member into buying one and sorting it with them. I for one enjoy the articles in the mags, membership, the free wagon etc and there's always an option to buy and cash out a limited edition you don't want, to off set the cost of membership, though admittedly the days where a almost every limited edition is guareteed to become an instant sell out and doubles in price seem to be long gone. I am however betting on 1054 as a lined black coal tank as it ran in the 1980's showing up, as well as an LBSC liveried 4-4-2 at some point. To me joining up is worth it, especially if your a modern image modeller, in the last few years they've had: WCRC 37, 20172, Royal Mail MLV, D1733, 08604, Sealink coaches, Exhibition train coach, WCRC pullmans.

I agree that the club is excellent value for the reasons you mention. As to the Sealink coaches, I don’t understand the logic. Initially I decided against getting just a pair of coaches but the extra main-range coach parted me from my money. It worked well for me but why produce a limited edition of two coaches (including the only brake coach) and then one more coach as an unlimited edition?

It worked well for me but why produce a limited edition of two coaches (including the only brake coach) and then one more coach as an unlimited edition?Sealink coaches weren't always operated as a block train, they parted and ended up in mix rake sets all over the country. If someone wants an "odd" one in the rake then an SK would be it, if you want the "as initial" rake then the collector club 2 are your start point and you can add 1,2,3 sk's as required. There was a sealink coach at Preston for the longest amount of time, presumably a spare, parked up in the sidings south end, next to the parcels bay/docks line that electrics used to be stabled in.

RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted March 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2017 I joined the club a couple of years ago, specificlly to get the Sealink coaches. Bought 3 packs to allow me to run a full length train, albeit with 3 brakes. With the release of the SK, I can remodel my train and will now look to sell on one of my packs. I've swithered the last couple of years whether to renew, but overall I'm happy to be a member and the day on the East Lancs Railway was excellent.

It worked well for me but why produce a limited edition of two coaches (including the only brake coach) and then one more coach as an unlimited edition? they might have been dipping their toe in the water so to speak to see what interest there was in them. To be fair, I think that'd be a pretty difficult livery to predict the uptake of. Doing them as collectors club limited editions will have increased the profit margins far higher than normal catalogue releases so that might have greatly reduced the number to sell to make a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shunny Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I see on Bachmann's website you can now join as an EFE collector and pick from a selection of EFE models instead of the collector's wagon might be a good option for anyone not really interested in the 4 wheel private owner wagons they normal offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 ... the day on the East Lancs Railway was excellent. Heck, yes. My daughter and her bloke decided to come along and even though they didn’t have all the fun we had, they still enjoyed the day thoroughly. Thank you, Collectors’ Club!

classy52 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) I know this has been a long thread and have tried to read most of it thus apologies if I'm asking a question that has previously been answered. Just want to know if the Bachmann Collectors Club WCR MK1 Pullman Coaches are suitable to be renumbered to any of the current coach stock that WCR have at the moment, I'm thinking of buying another set but not sure if they can be renumbered to match other WCR coaching stock so I can have a 4 rake instead of just the 2. As I said already have the WCR Pullman coach set & 37706 and later this year 47245 when it is released from Bachmann which will make the set eventually. Appreciate any assistance on this.
