BR(S) Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 As much as I like the blue/grey saloon, I'm probably going to wait until this livery is produced: http://www.departmentals.com/photo/45029c Would Bachmann be able to do a straight repaint or were there any body differences in the saloons by the time of this livery? I think someone mentioned the addition of vents above but I'm not sure where they are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Hi BR(S) The vent is immediately above the 'INT' on this side and there is another on the other side, diagonally opposite this one. The central end window is also different in as much as the drop light is completely removed and the whole opening is than glazed. On your earlier post of the two at Chester, the one on the right is one of the Kitchen Car rebuilds (four were done, the latter two which became DB999503/4 differed from the first two) which had a slightly different window/door arrangement on one side from the Bachmann model and therefore would need a bit of 'cut and shuffle' to produce a model. cheers Mike Edited August 16, 2014 by Ressaldar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) For those wanting a BR maroon Inspection Saloon, I suggest removal of the LMS insignia and the yellow line below the gutter, then apply BR insignia. A darn sight easier than brush painting and lining etc! Edited August 21, 2014 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunmar Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi, Got my Blue/Grey version a couple of days ago - ideal for my layout 'Kinlochewe'. Will post pics soon - after some tasteful ' weathering ' ! What say's you? ! p.s. When used in the ScR - were they often propelled? or will I need to run round ! Bill.

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted August 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) They spent about half of their time propelled, plenty about that in this thread including my post #229 earlier today, and in the thread titled Inspection Sallon Working http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/88795-inspection-saloon-working/&do=findComment&comment=1541035 Edited August 21, 2014 by TheSignalEngineer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Just been into my local model shop and they'd had a delivery from Bachmann of both the LMS and BR maroon liveried inspection saloons. The frothing is nearly over. The BR Maroon looks superb, but I haven't got mine out of the box yet. Edit: to confirm one of the released versions is in BR Maroon Edited August 22, 2014 by rembrow 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Departmental Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Just picked up my BR version of this model from my local model shop. A very nice model. Many thanks to those who have posted valuable information and photos regarding the various liveries, and where to fit the detail parts supplied with the model, and how to separate the body from the chassis. One question for Bachmann..... Why couldn't you provide an information sheet with the model showing how to separate the body and how to fit the detailing parts and part numbers for the various parts of the coach?? Surely a sheet of paper and some printed information wouldn't have ruined your profit margins? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vac_basher Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 One question for Bachmann..... Why couldn't you provide an information sheet with the model showing how to separate the body and how to fit the detailing parts and part numbers for the various parts of the coach?? I agree, an information sheet would have been useful. There are four clips on each side that clip into the glazing. So, first of all, try to seperate the step handrails (both mine broke); turn it upside down; use some force to pull the coach sides outwards; insert a couple of bits of card between the chassis and the body and it should then just fall off. As for the detailing parts Tigger has explained it in post #193 on page 8 of this topic. By the way, I'd like to paint/detail the inside of mine, so I was wondering if anybody has any photos of the interrior of one of these coaches?

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi. Got into York and Monk Bar Models on Saturday, and bought the BR maroon Inspection Saloon. Sadly, it was the last one - they sold all of them on Saturday along with the BR Blue and Grey models, so if anyone would like either of these, unfortunately, it is case of trying a different retailer. It does seem they are selling quickly, so do not wait around for them! Now here's a photo' I've taken of the BR maroon Saloon on the layout - have not had chance to fit the detailing parts as yet. . All the best, Market65. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Continuing the theme of a prototype for everything.....has anyone any evidence of this happening in reality? I think its plausible and I quite like the combination MLV Inspection Saloon 1.jpgMLV Inspection Saloon 2.jpg I like it too. Sort of plausible, and technically possible, but in reality much more likely a to be 73 with a saloon. I saw lots of MLVs in blue/grey, but never with a saloon. I saw lots of 73s too, a few with saloons. Equally unlikely-sounding, I also photographed the high speed recording coach 999550 sandwiched between two 2-HAP units mid-1980s in Rochester, but that's another story.
