GordonC Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 With the recent announcement of Sealink Mk1s to be produced, how many liveries are still to be produced on the Bachmann Mark 1 coaches? The only obvious one I could think of is the Pilkington K Charter set from a few years ago. Are there any others? I'm aware that there are still other variants of the Mk 1 coaches to be produced, e.g. BSO and BFK, but I'm just wondering about liveries here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamperman36 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'd be in the market for a few in special K, I've got some fox transfers to do a set however green coaches seem to be quite limited to aquire up in yorkshire (not many southern modellers). I've done one so far using a BR southern green coach, the green looks about the right shade, the only problem is the grey roof however if Bachmann did some they could do a weathered roof. As for the original thread for this topic Bachmann haven't done several of the privatised charter company liveries if you check, what about railfilms charter stock, some dark blue, some maroon with white lining and theres also west coast railways maroon.

Martin_R Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 West Coast Railways and Riviera stock gets my vote as they would also include some MK2z coaches, just right for modelling railtours using both steam and diesel traction. The MK1 underframe would need some mods for airbraked stock and the body too with removal of end steps etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium amwells Posted December 7, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 7, 2014 The Waterman Railways ornate livery charter stock of c. 1995 would be lovely! (As would the Pilkington set, and enough Sealink coaches to make a proper rake!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The Intercity charter set with Italic Intercity wording and white roofs would be nice and a FO in OO would be good too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 If Bachmann don't announce a BSO in 2015, I will "take one for the team" as they say and start building one from some Bachmann MK1's. Bachmann will then announce one in 2016 just as I finish it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the RTC Invicta exclusives contains an ex-BSO, and from the picture it doesn't look like that's a typo. http://www.invictamodelrail.com/in-stock---39-001w-exclusive-Bachmann-rtc-coaches-lab-10--lab-11-3114-p.asp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the Invicta image carefully you will see that the panels between the compartment windows are not all the same width. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Trans-Pennine (branded and unbranded) and or a ScotRail BG gets my vote. Having seen the Regional Railways BGs in the bargain bin it might be a while before a Trans-Pennine one makes an appearance. I bought a couple when they were cheap and will respray to Trans-Pennine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as easy as you'd think to do neatly, where you have to mask is right over all the door stops all down the bodysides so its easy for paint to leak underneath the edge of the tape. I'm going to try using a Regional Railways one as I think that might be easier to mask Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 A range of west coast stock would be nice, but some would need modification of the moulds as the steps on the carriage ends are absent on some, if not most/all of the current stock. Also, as mentioned earlier the underframe gubbins would have to be altered for the air brake equipment and other modern alterations. I would like a set though! I also agree with the white roofed IC charter set! Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the liveries produced so far are therefore wrong. Good news, a couple of minutes with a craft knife sorts it. Merf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true, it's easy enough to do on the black ended vehicles, but when colour matching is needed, it's not always the simplest fix. A touch of weathering can hide any damage though!

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'd be up for a set of West Coast Mk1 stock as well. I've been meaning to purchase a load of cheap Mk1's and apply some West Coast transfers, but I've not got around to sourcing some transfers of the correct size.

If it helps, I'll call the earlier versions "un-weathered" or "clean". Either way I meant the originally finished Bachmann MK1's that weren't specifically weathered.
