GM Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 An excellent choice of liveries IMHO! Looks like its going to be another large parcel from the REX office to sneak past the better half. This hobby is getting seriously expensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudzyp Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Its just a shame they have to do them as twin packs as its what puts me off them i can really only afford one ! Just have to hope someone splits them on ebay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

66540_ruby Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Are these to be produced this year? According to Rail express website they are due Autumn 2010. http://railexpressmodeller.wordpress.com/ Also noticed they announced two class 03 s in Brblue. Sounds like a expensive year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I have wanted a Loadhaul 37 from Bachmann for ages and REx will be doing 2 at once - happy days! I asked the wife tonight if I can have them for Christmas - she doesn't think I can be a good boy for the rest of the year! Might just have to buy them anyway as if I need any excuse!

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted February 25, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2010 Dam...... wanted a old grey heavy weight, never mind, mite be in new catalogue and wont have to buy 2 of em, Yes I was looking for something earlier too. Very disappointing set of 37s but my wallet will be relived Next week Bachmann make their announcement so I am sure there will be something of interest there. I am hoping for BAAs and/or BBAs. I suspect they may hold off doing 37/7 for awhile yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kintbury jon Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I must admit, i'm glad they're ones I don't want. I've got a VEP and EPB to save up for! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselbob Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Next week Bachmann make their announcement so I am sure there will be something of interest there. I am hoping for BAAs and/or BBAs. Hi I hope your right, I've got 4 BBA's and 3 BAA's I built from Cambrian kits but would like another 6 or 7 to make up a reasonable trainload, I don't fancy building, painting, numbering and detailing another 7 kits though. I like the Bachmann BDA's though, Just bought 4 from Hattons (£51.00) to go with my 4 Cambrians. cheers Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselbob Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi Again I was wondering how many of you find it easy to weather your Rail Express 37's after paying £150 for a pair, I have jast plucked up the courage after a couple of months of looking at 37501/502 to make a start on the underframes. I must stop thinking about Mint Boxed Sets, I dont usually have a problem weathering or even stripping a brand new Loco (not that I'd strip that pair) it seems to be that Big box that been holding me back. Anybody else have these problems. Cheers Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
owentherail Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Weathering any Ltd ed is always a worry for me, let alone a box of 2, think ill get the Kernow pair of 37/9s as they are my era but would still like a 37/7 in old grey, and hoping that we get block headcode 37 from Bachmann soon (not Ltd Eds either) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted February 26, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi all, dont forget that most of the rail express box sets are just special editions not limted ones. Dont get me wrong they do do limted editions fastline 66, 37 'Hartlepool pipe mill' to name but two but from what i have read the 37 heavy weights are just specials again. cheers Simon ps yes i have ordered one of each 37 set and one each of 03's Black Hat, they say this year but i'm not holding my breath after the last set of 37's they did (my opionin and mine alone) cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike They 501 & 502 look really good, that is about the amount of weathering I am aiming at I don't like to see too much dirt as I never saw them in a filthy state, your layout looks pretty good too for what I can see.

magic_monkey09 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 this topic is called class Rail Express new 37/7s n 37/5s? and correct me if im wrong as i have not purchased this months mag yet ive only been on their website but i see no mention of new 37/5's apart from the DBS 670 which was announced a while back As for the 37/7's loadhaul is my favourite livery and in my opinion they couldn't have picked a better livery to launch this product with also im glad to see that they have accompanied the loadhaul set with a mixed transrail and mainline freight set which is of the same time period and an interesting combo of livery's B) im sure that some earlier heavy weight modellers are put out by the choice of livery's but perhaps the reason for this is that maybe Bachmann are releasing a RF redstripe heavyweight or a two-tone grey one perhaps? who knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted February 26, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 26, 2010 ... your layout looks pretty good too for what I can see. And the rest! You know, I wish people would stop building attractive and convincing depot layouts and upsetting all my prejudices regarding the dreaded "TMD".

Lukasz Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I really can't justify both locos. I really need someone to go halfsys with me and take the transrail machine while I keep that beautiful blue loco. Lukasz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesthecat Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Has anyone ordered by email and had a confirmation email that their order has been recieved. On the website they state they will confirm email orders but still waiting for the confirmation for mine and no reply to the email sent today. Don't want to start phoning to check. (Yes I know I'm a bit over the top but want to check order recieved then can relax, in the old days of snail mail I used to phone to check recieved). cheers mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
