phil gollin Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 . As for a sweepstake - do we think that the Hornby announcement of the Collet bow-ended, standard 57 ft coaches was their attempt at a spoiler, or will they announce something else on Thursday or Friday ?

RMweb Premium Steve Purves Posted May 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well my bet is still on with the hints it's Infernal Combustion for DEMU, roll on the simplex 5 ton So what are the hints? AFAIK all that has been said is that there is announcement and that it will be on the 30th.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Oh dear, five more days of people frothing about a model they probably neither want nor need...... At least it is very unlikely to be a (rest of comment deleted as irreverend) Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2015 And "why is it not delivered yet?" Stewart And no doubt some who will want to know why it wasn't delivered before it was announced (but maybe it has been?). And don't forget the price question - if it's more than £5/12/11 it's bound to be seen by some as a rip-off. BTW as it's likely to be a machine with prototype infernal combustion origins (or no combustion at all?) I wonder if it's one that ran in green livery at one time and even had the right sort of transmission - if it had a voith of its own maybe it could tell us?

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2015 TPE 185 please. Ian Given Bachy's tie-up with Siemens on the 350, then the 185 may be a good bet. Only one livery so far (apart from the few delivered/tested in plain blue), but a future bet for alternate liveries as and when franchises change hands.

Ozexpatriate Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ten* pages and I don't think anyone mentioned the Western Pullman! * EDIT: Eleven! (That wouldn't have happened in the old days. Someone would have tentatively suggested it followed by pages of diatribes why a B*** P****** would never be done.) Not that I think it's a high probability, since the "collectors' edition" Midland Pullman set (book and figures, etc) has been announced and were one announced sales of one would certainly cannibalize sales of the other. What's not clear to me is whether there are two separate things or one thing - a new model to be announced at the DEMU Showcase - a new feature never previously introduced in a Bachmann Collectors' Club model They seem to have been conflated here.

jonathan452 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 A diagram 73 Mk1 FO would be a relatively quick win as many of the components exist already. Furthermore it could take the place of the 2015 Announcement diagram 71 examples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
