bike2steam Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I hope the new 94XX will haul 12 coaches without slipping. Otherwise there will be no point in having one. Ah a model of Paddington, and you need locos to haul ecs eh ?? Like 'Rugd1022' pic of 9477, I took a pic of 9415 in near enough the same spot, but no where near as good.

dibber25 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 As Phil says, the two EMU's are virtually identical as the 350/0's are really "stolen" 450's in disguise. It shouldn't require a re-tooled model when it's only detailing and added bits that need changing? . Dave Lowery repainted a 350 and took off the pantograph and Model Rail supplied the sample to Bachmann for a price quote in November 2013. Support from readers was encouraging but no further progress was made with the 450 as limited edition for Model Rail. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think you meant: 305 BR Breakdown Crane (Cowans Sheldon 75-ton)...16th 255 SR Breakdown Crane (Ransomes & Rapier 45-ton)...29th Indeed I did.

Ozexpatriate Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nothing additional added to the 00-9 range then? Mind you it could be some time before we get the already announced 00-9 items Its interesting that they have some 00-9 ish items listed on the USA new items listing a 0-6-0 Thomas Skarloey loco and 2 wagons a 4 whl open and a 4 whl van which look rather like the PECO L&B 00-9 wagons. These items being shown as fitted with 00-9/H0e Hook & Loop couplings There are items of interest; through the Liliput range there are 3 coaches which have seen use on the Welshpool & Llanfair. I have to admit that I found the guesses around 009 items to be some of the most compelling and I had almost expected *something* in 009 if not any of the specific items suggested. Presuming that Kader's manufacturing throughput is in a temporary slowdown, perhaps we'll see much more in the way of 009 at some point when those issues are resolved. Of course that might depend on how well the products announced last year sell, when they arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.Uni Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Speaking of the OO9 gauge range, I see on the Bachmann website that the RRP for the Baldwin locos is £144.95. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevelewis Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 No cheap sound locos from Bachmann..... Hornby got one over on them on that front, even when Bachmann mentioned the idea 3 or so years ago. And Bachmann are doing rather well with their cheap US outline sound locos which can be purchased in the UK for around £89 upwards!! So strange they have nothing in the UK range.

Not so sure, there is a lot of unsold PECO L&B around apparently Mind you not having a L&B RTR loco makes a difference I suppose, but having spoken to someone today from the Oxford area it would seem the L&B 2-6-2 is still a long way off, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The Bachmann website front page does contain what could be a clue to the reason for extended development times - a certain job advert is still there, some time after first being mentioned on RMweb. Agreed. While many have noted the relative scarcity of 'new' designs from Barwell cumulatively over the past two years, and the common sense this makes given the backlog, yesterday's announcement actually seems like a pretty big programme by Bachmann. It will be easier to tell when I have the new catalogue in front of me, but there sure are a lot of "new" liveries/running numbers. There are no less than 14* new grouping and pre-grouping era steam locomotive liveries in the 29 listed on offer on the Bachmann website. * Not counting the LNWR Coal tank which was already announced. The backlog of prior releases certainly is a factor in announcements and production, but I wonder if the throughput issue isn't as much with manufacturing, as it is with design and the front-end of the process?

Focalplane Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 And Bachmann are doing rather well with their cheap US outline sound locos which can be purchased in the UK for around £89 upwards!! So strange they have nothing in the UK range. I am sorry to observe that "cheap US outline" says it all. When I first started looking at Bachmann UK models five years ago I could not believe the difference in quality, even the older split chassis models like the Fowler Royal Scot.

Ozexpatriate Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 ... there is a lot of unsold PECO L&B around apparently I snapped up one of each as quickly as I could, but there's no accounting for taste! Mind you not having a L&B RTR loco makes a difference I suppose, It has to. ... having spoken to someone today from the Oxford area it would seem the L&B 2-6-2 is still a long way off, No surprises there, which is why I thought that a 009 version of Lyn from Bachmann might make sense - perhaps even more sense than the Baldwin 4-6-0. One hopes the 4-6-0 will appear before the centenary of Armistice day to honour the marketed tie-in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black 5 Bear Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 £400.00 THAT HAS TO BE A MISTAKE!!!!!! This is precisely why I do not buy from this shop.

Not sure where the loco will be manufactured. RTR prices are making kits once again seem reasonably priced. I don't buy much in the way of RTR except Bachmann On30 - it would be nice if Bachman was to produce a Baldwin in On30 alongside the 009 one. 1/48 is near enough to 1/43 and would sit very well on my embryo Glyn Valley Tramway inspired layout.......

Mark Dickerson Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I am sorry to observe that "cheap US outline" says it all. When I first started looking at Bachmann UK models five years ago I could not believe the difference in quality, even the older split chassis models like the Fowler Royal Scot. I thought the later not-quite-Spectrum models (Alco 2-6-0, GP7, etc.) were quite well received for the price point, including the sound versions? The Spectrum stuff's definitely comparable.

Well I have no experience of Bachmann HO but the On30 range is excellent and here in the USA reasonably priced, ie a DC 2-6-0 tender for $83, a 4-6-0 tender with sound for $180.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted March 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2015 Apparent timeline of a manufacturer's new product announcements. Wish listing - fantasising - speculation - elation/despair - expert analysis - complaining/resignation - shopping list - funding calculation - purchase - frothing - start over again. Rather like those Five Boys chocolate bars the Fry's used to make when I was a lad. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the retailers are selling them for slightly more palatable prices now and I've been sorely tempted on many occasion. Whilst money is tight however I'm not going to spend around £100 on a rake of coaches for which there is no appropriate locomotive. When I'm in the world of work and there is an appropriate locomotive, Peco shall have my money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The N gauge USA from Bachmann is quite good these days a 2-8-8-4 arrived here a few days back superb performance (DCC on Board) much better than the Kato N Gauge USA Steam loco which was returned and refunded as it continually derailed in reverse direction over points ( on a layout where everthing else runs impeccably) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
