SDJR7F88 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Well with the 50th Anniversary of the End of Southern Steam this weekend, I thought a little themed running session was in order with the new addition. All sound recording are from my various railway visit, so the same (or similar) class. Hope you enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gicQ9UlVJ4Y Edited July 7, 2017 by SDJR7F88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2017 I am just wondering how easy it would be to remove the chalk markings and touch up the weathering on this one? I would like one but the chalk markings put me off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like one but the chalk markings put me off! Buy one that doesn't have the chalk markings then. Leave these for someone else that wants one in this great looking condition.

rob D2 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Can any members remember what was said about a golden key ring ? It was in the last club mag I believe. I've got a key ring in with the new wagon, but I don't know if everyone gets one or if it's the golden wonka card or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tounge firmly in cheek) Sadly wasn't a member 20 years ago and was just woundering in 20 years has the price went up that much I've been a member since 2002 and I think then it was only £19 for what was then the full package 4 mag's a catalogue and a member ship card and a wagon 00 gauge only if my memory is correct and I know you where trying to be funny but is the price bad for what you get I am just asking as I'm sure there are people looking on this forum that ain't a member and are woundering if it's good value or not I'd say yes it's worth it for me as I've enjoyed the wagons and have always enjoyed reading something in the magazine any way sorry for the bit of a rant am just interested to hear how people view the club good or bad Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well I'm a member now and am more than happy for what I get for the money through the year, (I only joined for the first time late last year) Looking forward to seeing/getting the next wagon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short.. imho only the Bachmann club is worthwhile. Edited July 15, 2017 by adb968008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this. Could I ask what you get for the Dapol club and whether you find it useful?. I visited their factory shop for the first time on Thursday, but only had 5 minutes as they were about to close. It looked a little treasure trove though.

If your into N or O gauge the Dapol club is pretty good. It's not got much for the OO modeller, I really joined to get the special edition 73, which was cheaper than the high street versions, so the club membership is kind of subsided, so to that end it was worth it, the value add then is the newsletters. There's nothing in it for me to continue into 2018, so I'd let it lapse, but would rejoin if something was attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigshot Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi Guys Thanks for your feedback not only am I glad Bachmann are getting positive feed back plus the fact as a long standing member and custemer it's seems like the club is going to be in safe hands for a few more years to come yet and I'm glade your all happy with it as well Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spet0114 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Not long 'till September - any guesses as to the next club model? My guess - a Coal Tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Not long 'till September - any guesses as to the next club model? My guess - a Coal Tank. I would doubt that because the Coal Tank has already emerged in pre-grouping livery in the standard range. If it were to be pre-grouping and it were to be a steam locomotive, my guess would be a Midland 1F. My guesses are never right, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted August 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2017 It'll be whatever has recently been in production. The model is usually a variant of that . Suggest looking at the latest Bachmann incoming thread for a clue , baring in mind it might be a wagon or a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted August 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2017 Given the speed the WCR Class 37 sold out, I'd wager a bet on a WCR Class 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I would have wondered if it'd be a Class 37 as there are some catalogue models due out early in the new year, but there have been quite a few diesel/electric collectors club models recently that haven't always sold well so it might well be steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted August 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2017 My thoughts as well, but what would the livery be? Post WW1 SECR??? Other than that I am a bit stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigshot Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi Guys I must admit I have been asking for a while for the club to do some brake vans in the big 4 liverys to go with the wagons that come with the membership however I am guessing I am the only one that's saying this Thanks Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigshot Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 In the same vein,how about some pre-grouping wagons and brake vans ? Yes I'd be interested especially if it's preserved today although I think some of the wagons are slowly coming out Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby and Bachmann produce a GWR Toad brake van and they have appeared in GWR liveries. Bachmann produces the SR Queen Mary and Pill Box brake vans and they have appeared in SR liveries. Bachmann and Hornby produce the LNER version of what became the BR Standard brake van. This has appeared in LNER liveries. Bachmann and Hornby produce the Midland 20T brake van which have appeared in MR and LMS liveries. Kernow MRC has commissioned a LSWR 10T brake van. That's not a bad lot for the Big Four and should provide most people with a suitable brake van to run with the Bachmann Club models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
