RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted September 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2015 I've just thought of the perfect model - N.E.R Class ES1. It would satisfy the North Eastern, Pre Group and Electric traction lobbies all in one go. John 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 If they do sell out fast, Bachmann have at least 2 more bites of the cherry doing Birch Grove in Umber livery as preserved. The loco was first painted as such in 1963. However the collectors club model is not accurate for 1963, due - at least - to the little valves on the smoke box saddle (not there in 1963 photos) and 473 being in big painted numbers on the bunker, rather than in a little painted within a disc logo. However as such, she did run on BR metals a few times. The second is more recent, like this model only with umber wheels instead of black as someone posted a photo. It is certain Birch Grove was preserved due to the link of the Hamlet near Horsted Keynes.Although some sources say this is a coincidence. Bachmann then have late BR livery too.

Hippel Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Referring to the N.E.R. class ES.1 - could this be a candidate for Locomotion Models National Collection in Miniature!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spet0114 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 My Birch Grove arrived this evening - absolutely exquisite! :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn-on-the-platform Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Mine arrived today, along with the collectors club wagon. Even better than I expected! I just hope it runs when I eventually get it to some track 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestburyJack Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Mine has arrived, certificate number 248, so if they are being sold in numerical order that's nearly 1/2 gone already!

No Decorum Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Mine has arrived, certificate number 248, so if they are being sold in numerical order that's nearly 1/2 gone already! I think Bachmann distributes certificates randomly. I got number 148 on the day and I'm pretty sure I wasn't the 148th. to buy one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purley Oaks Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 See that Harburn Hobbies are selling the Collectors' Club Class 419 MLV in Royal Mail Livery (31-265K) just now. Same price. Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb860 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Lots of shops have been selling the MLV for some time now. Slow selling collectors club models frequently make their way to retailers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Emily Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Arcadia in Shaw have some Collectors' Club models. They have the Pool tanker wagons and I did see the class 85 a while ago. Bolton Model Mart have some of the class 85s (and I saw the Jinty there in the past). I think Ian Allen in Manchester have also had the Jinty and the class 03 editions too in the past.

martin_l_jones Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm not surprised there has been a lot of leftovers, IMHO I think the last few models have been a little disappointing to say the least... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I would like to buy a model of Birch Grove as I have fond memories of the locomotive hauling my train on the Bluebell Railway. I don't want to join the Bachmann Collectors Club just to buy one model so I will have to manage without unless it finds its way to retailers.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2015 I would like to buy a model of Birch Grove as I have fond memories of the locomotive hauling my train on the Bluebell Railway. I don't want to join the Bachmann Collectors Club just to buy one model so I will have to manage without unless it finds its way to retailers. Unlikely I'm afraid. The Bachmann TrainMail email of 22 October said they were already down to 50 models left (presumably from 500) so it's unlikely to be available for much longer.

locoholic Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Some hopeful soul has listed a Birch Grove on eBay for £225 plus postage, which is very considerably more than the combined cost of the loco, which is still available from the Collectors Club, and the fee to join the club!

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2015 Email just arrived - a N and a OO scale Collectors Club model to be revealed at Warley.

Bon Accord Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The latest Trainmail has this titbit by way of a clue: "The writing's on the wall for our next OO scale model which is certain to be popular".

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) I am hoping that the N gauge model is something a bit better than the rather dull nee naff coach we got last time. We are well overdue a loco or three now. Edited November 26, 2015 by John M Upton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2015 Announced: OO - 08601 'Spectre' in LMS black livery N - Caledonian blue liveried 4MT Standard tank as preserved. Hmmm..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIAM Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 So the next 00 gauge club model is class 08601 'Spectre' in LMS Black livery as announced in the Warley News thread. This is a nice addition to the 1980's station pilots theme (Birmingham New Street) with Modelzone/Invicta having previously released models of 08721 (Manchester Piccadilly) and 08833 (London Liverpool Street). Were there any others that could be added to this list in future? Were there LNER apple and GWR green 08s used as station pilots? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2015 Definitely not enthusiastic about the N gauge one it must be said!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
