37403 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Why assume its an "actual" model.....it might be a new business model that makes sure there is a steady supply of releases in a variety of liveries at a reasonable price..............i'll get my coat now!

Wild Boar Fell Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Might be completely unrelated, but Bachmann are offering a new 8-Pin decoder with 'RailComPlus' Not heard of that before. Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted May 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2015 Maybe it's the DC sound models that were previewed a couple of years ago After some fanfare, it all went quiet. However, now that Hornby's released locos with low-cost sound which are selling well, Bachmann has been forced to play catch-up and will announce locos with a similar spec at DEMU.

jonas Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Is the exciting new feature not seen on a collectors club model Be 'just' DCC sound? Have they done a club exclusive sound loco before? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted May 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi all, By this time on Saturday - all the frothing will have been answered! Time to get modelling and not frothing methinks...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted May 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2015 None of their Collector Club's locos have been sound fitted, indeed none of them have even been DCC fitted. Apart from the Ivatt tank, their other locos were DCC ready. http://Bachmann-collectorsclub.co.uk/products/past-products/00-scale-locomotives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2015 Only 24 hours to go and no silly childish Facebook spoiler posts by Hornby yet. Must be a record based on their form of late.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2015 Already had that, it's called Mazak rot, only available on models over £80. My guess it's that wickham trolley, in St trinians livery. If it's something else post 1968 I'm giving up on the club as a waste of time. Sound chip fitted?

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted May 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2015 Maybe it will be a PO wagon lettered "Father's Day 2015" or other such nonsense (a la Hornby!) Gives you 21 days to purchase it. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opelsi Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Guessing that this could be Bachmann trying to jump to the front of the queue, so maybe it might be one of the following: APT-P - unlikely but with interest generated elsewhere a long shot Small Caly loco - Pre-groupings doing well and this is such an attractive livery. Something else pre-grouping - they seam to generate lots of interest, matching stock to would be great! GWR coaches - wouldn't be jumping the queue but would indicate why Hornby made their recent announcement None of the above - I'm probably totally wrong, but hoping it is something I'd like to buy and is here in the not too distant future.

reevesthecat Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I think I am quietly hoping for a class 81 with raising and lowering pantograph but I also suspect it won't be this. However if I turn out to be correct I can now claim bragging rights! Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2015 I don't mind what it is unless it's diesel that ran on the WR in green livery (preferably in the D8XX series - am I getting warm as it must be along soon?) - in which case it might be a further step on the road to pauperdom.

rembrow Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've just ordered 18100, Metro Vick Gas Turbine prototype Western Region, model from Silver Fox, so it's bound to be one of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not 18000 ....the "original" ? Often seen lurking around the works at Swindon,if not on the occasional train.18100 started life as a pin up girl at The Festival of Britain in 1951 and ended the decade rather ignominiously reborn as a test bed.Also on the platform with it on the South Bank were newly constructed Britannia 70004 of Golden Arrow fame and a new 1500v dc electric."O tempora,o whatever"...., Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirey33 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 My guess... It'll be out of Era for 90% of modellers, It'll be too expensive for 80% of modellers, It'll be too weathered for 80% of modellers, It'll be too DCC fitted for 70% of modellers, It'll be too late for 5% of modellers. The Venn diagram of that lot has a total of two modellers who will buy one. And one of those is thinking about going 'O' gauge..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a record based on their form of late.... What utter rubbish. the last time Hornby announced the merchant navy everybody said that is was to pre-empt Bachmann, but i can not remember Bachmann then announcing anything! So the only thing Hornby preempted was a load of RM froth. But they seem to do that by just existing.

Also got unfortunately tempted by a Swindon Class 123 cross country dmu as John Hazleton won't be building mu's till towards the end of the year. I only went to the Silver Fox site as I wanted a Class 117 DMS conversion set, which I couldn't get from DC kits as their stuff is all in store. I haven't worked out yet how to explain a 4 car dmu coming in the post to swmbo-blame Charlie Petty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
