RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) There is a OO gauge 'Intercity Exhibitions' Mk1 BSK in the cabinet at Ally Pally. No sign of any N gauge special not already announced though. Edited March 19, 2016 by John M Upton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) 00 Gauge : Two simultaneous releases.. BR Mk1 Exhibitions BSK £40 looks like this: http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brexhibitiontrain/h5ad77ee#h5ad77ee and Lined Black Patriot 45505 with "British Railways" on a fowler riveted tender, etched nameplate £165 looks like this: https://www.theimagefile.com/v/tp/326/177/7574441002_4_00-05-1949-45505-british.jpg Both on sale today. Some special offers on the stand.. buy the Sealink coaches + either the Exhibitions MK1 or the MK1 Pullman car you get a set of 3 collectors club wagons free, there was another offer around the class 20 / Patriot not sure which. Bachmann has a members lounge open too (don't forget your membership card).. inside you will find various pre-prod samples including the painted USA tanks... looking fantastic in the flesh ! Have to admit the Patriot looks nice, but compared to 6229 being sold at 100 notes on another stand, price won the day but might think differently when the magazine arrives (that was on display also today, as was a production schedule through autumn).

Guest spet0114 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Bit of a sigh of relief - nothing to tempt me to splurge further in the same month that the Rapido APT is decimating my 'toys' fund... Nice models though. CheersAdrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted March 21, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2016 Picture of the Exhibitions coach in today's MREmag: http://www.mremag.com/index.php I do hope this gets the shrink ray treatment and as Farish do Stanier coaches, lots of these got converted to Exhibition train stock too, plenty of options.

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted April 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2016 Picture now on the Collectors' Club page: http://Bachmann-collectorsclub.co.uk/products/00-scale-products/00-scale-rolling-stock/br-mk1-bsk-coach-in-intercity-exhibitions-livery.html And the Patriot: http://Bachmann-collectorsclub.co.uk/products/00-scale-products/00-scale-locomotives/patriot-class-4-6-0-no-45506-the-royal-pioneer-corps-in-british-railways-black-livery.html Little information on this black Patriot has appeared on the pages of this forum to date. On Friday,I had my usual Collectors Club newsletter which urged a purchase soon as they were selling out fast .Oh dear......sales talk pressure .....or genuine ? I have in mind a purchase of this particular members' special.I remember urging someone to commission one a couple of years ago.Lo,one appears. Quite expensive but there it is.You want something exclusive....you pay for the privelege and bite the bullet. Looking for an image of an example other than the one on the Collectors's Club website,Google swiftly winged in to ....guess where ? Olivia's Trains of course. Analogue offered at £210 .This is a resale ( ? ) mark up of a mere £45. In my naivety,would some worthy luminary explain to me how this occurs.Are Bachmann selling out perchance ? To whom ?

Matabiau Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I would expect they are selling quickly, at first at least. It doesn't mean that they are going to sell out quickly. They tend to say "last few remaining" if it really is about to sell out. As for Olivias, they may have bought a couple through Bachmann's Collectors' Club as members and are simply reselling them. (pure speculation on my part). After several months Bachmann have been known use their bigger retailers to shift the last few of slower selling models such as the Railfreight 85. I don't think we are there yet though with the Patriot. I bought one, a nice model in a transition livery and not too difficult to install a DCC decoder.

Matabiau Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Perhaps they have nearly sold out. It is an attractive choice of model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 26, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2016 Bachmann Collectors Club email just dropped into my inbox. Two new club models are going to be announced. To kick off the inevitable froth I predict that we shall see the usual pretty inaccurate wish listing and that N gauge will once again only get a paltry model by comparison. And begin.....

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted May 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Go on I'll take the bait... "As the two items go hand in hand we have a special offer for customers wishing to buy both, plus we will be unveiling our 2016/17 exclusive membership wagon which is issued from 1st July onwards." It's a model of Jack and Jill going up a hill and the new wagon is a water carrier ? :-) A pair of 20s is the easiest guess, so it's probably not. I'd like it to be Leander and Galatea, but they haven't "toured up and down the country", at least not Galatea.

GordonC Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Come to think about it wasn't there only 2 catalogue refurbished class 37s - large logo 37401 and the regional railways. These things seem to often get produced in at least 3s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
