RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2015 Interesting thanks Andy, especially as some items are contradictory to the Bachmann website; for example 32-115B 08818 is shown there as Jan/Feb.

John Urquhart Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Still no Mk2 Aircons. The forum has gone a bit quiet on this - it's a subject that I have only recently developed an interest in - can other members bring me up to speed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan452 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hoping that those spare Oval Sprung Buffers will also be on their way soon. Trusting that the Blue/Grey Mk1 TSO will be suitably equipped with Commonwealth bogies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan452 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 If it isn't they are very easy to change. Have managed to do a few of these before, indeed I have one set of spare Commonwealth bogies. (Swapped for B4 ones on the catering vehicle.) Although I don't want to buy any more spare sets if at all possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just looked at my most recent Bachmann Mk1 TSO in Blue/Grey and it has B4 bogies... Coming back to the list of releases, the same list has been published on MREMag today saying they have been released from the factory in China in November, which is not quite the same as incoming in November. However. some are already here (e.g. 25043) yet others showing as a Jan/Feb release on the Bachmann website. So are some being shipped by air freight or is the list provided by the factory somewhat inaccurate I wonder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 The list is items which are in the process of being shipped. Some may have landed, some may still be departing China. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirey33 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Do the latest Mk1 coaches have smoother roofs, without the over-heavy banding the originals came with? I seem to remember some releases have less prominent joints or did I just make that up?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Do the latest Mk1 coaches have smoother roofs, without the over-heavy banding the originals came with? I seem to remember some releases have less prominent joints or did I just make that up?? Someone correct me if I am wrong but my recollection is all the mk1 releases - up to whichever was first released from the met-camm Pullman cars / GUV / RMB - had the excessive ribs; everything released thereafter properly flush. But I have recently been told that the formerly ribbed roof vehicles have been revised to flush roofs in the latest release, as this pic off Hattons site would seem to confirm. http://www.ehattons.com/60775/Bachmann_Branchline_39_126G_BR_Mk1_CK_Composite_Corridor_Maroon_Weathered/StockDetail.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2015 First one to have the smoother ribs was the RMB if I recall correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippin typo Ian...6G not 6A, and you are correct about 9A being Longsight. 6G Llandudno Junction is probably a first on a RTR loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenrithBeacon Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Several years ago I bought a Bachmann Jinty with the intention of converting it to one of Longsight's stud. I made a pigs ear of removing the chimney, damaging the smokebox in the process. It's still in the box, damaged! The idea was to reproduce the transfer freight that ran early most days (SaSuX) from Longsight north sidings to Stockport. It then spent the rest of the day shunting at Stockport. To make an accurate model the Bachmann will require the Brassmasters chimney and splashers. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These lists have been supplied to MREMAG and Ramsay’s British Model Train Catalogue in addition to the magazine reviewers for many years and in addition to locomotives includes coaches and wagons. The items are sent at the point where the containers are being loaded and before shipping has begun. This is why there is a time lapse of between items appearing on the list and our dealer network. The lists are compiled once a month and we have agreed with Andy York that they will appear on RM Web in future. You will recall the debate that took place in the Bachmann Delays...will products ever arrive? and the efforts we went to anaylise all the products delivered over the past 10 years which were previously published. There is plenty of products arriving and news of them will be found here in future and on the Bachmann website at www.Bachmann.co.uk in the products section.

coachmann Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I wonder what the deciding factor is in fitting steam-outline locos with either 6, 8 or 21 pin plugs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 I wonder what the deciding factor is in fitting steam-outline locos with either 6, 8 or 21 pin plugs? 8 Pin was used initially principally for steam locomotives for which there was no sound or lighting requirements. 21 Pin was adopted for those locomotives for which provision was made for operating lights or sound either now or in the future. 6 Pin is used primarily in very small locomotives with little space. A few years ago DCC provision would not have been possible in such locomotives but as 6 Pin was initially developed for use in N scale locomotives it is ideal for those locomotives which do not have enough space to accommodate 8 Pin or 21 Pin versions.

John Urquhart Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have the Bachmann Class 25 25043. Lovely model, looks like new tooling - the roof fan is a separate part, not moulded as my recollection of previous 25s. But then, they were Hornby, I suppose... I digress. Running in, it was a bit lumpy and close inspection revealed patchy pickup from the number 1 end bogie. Together with David from Model Junction (great shop, great people. Did I say? Yes, John, you did. Get on with it) we identified that the pickups were not very well tensioned but despite correcting it the problem persisted, which, by process of elimination, identifies the PCB as the problem. In recent months, I have had a Hornby 50 with self-destructing radiator louvres (and anecdotally I know that I am not the only owner of such a feature) which looks like an over-engineering issue - that, or non-adhesive glue used in assembly.* Are these QC issues? To what extent, I wonder, are models tested before being packaged? To be fair, putting 25043 on a bit of analogue-controlled track probably would not have revealed the dodgy PCB, and it was only in removing the Class 50 body to install a decoder that exposed the radiator louvres, which had had a few months' transit on the high seas to become brittle. Two different manufacturers as well, of course. Any thoughts? *non-adhesive glue, which protects the customer I suppose in the same way as the adult-proof tops on Humbrol weathering washes.

I can't speak for nowadays but having mentioned this before nobody to my knowledge has said much to the opposite. 30 or so years ago around the time Mainline came to the fore, I was contracting at Palitoy's main warehouse. I watched as a 40 ft container of small Star Wars figures was unloaded. All done by hand, no pallets in the container, they take up space for products. Someone from their QC department was observing and every so often asked to be passed a box (about a dozen) of the figures, which they proceeded to open and inspect. Having randomly checked 3 boxes of the figures and found them satisfactory, the entire container full was passed as satisfactory. Talking to them later it turned out that was the standard QC check, about 3 dozen from many thousands. They also said that a return rate of up to 10% was perfectly acceptable.
