Markeg Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks for posting this Chris. I had just seen it yesterday via Facebook and promptly ordered one. Hoping I got it in early enough. As there is nothing of interest from the main Bachmann range 'so far', my hard earned cash will go towards this model. This is certainly a nice addition to the LNER fleet. I would really like a D10, so if I can pick up a D11 I would convert it. Or it is a PDK kit. Unfortunately I did not renew my Model Rail subscription in January so will have to pay full price. Any idea when it is likely to be released? Mark in OZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibber25 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 A painted sample has arrived in the office this morning and it is really beautiful! Will post a photograph as soon as it can be arranged. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looking forward to seeing this. Annoyingly no D11/1s appear to have got apple green in the time period I'm modelling, but what's one exception to the strict limits of modelling…? Looking forward to seeing the sample forthwith.

The Lurker Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looking forward to seeing this. Annoyingly no D11/1s appear to have got apple green in the time period I'm modelling, but what's one exception to the strict limits of modelling…? . Either the start of a slippery slope down to anachronism hell, or the door to "It's My Layout" freedom! Did the D11s ever sneak through the East London Line on those excursions to the Norht Kent coast? Unlikely, I'm sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeg Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Already, that was quick. Look forward to seeing the photos. So now it will be 3 D11/1's, GCR Butler Henderson, BR Black Prince Albert and LNER Marne. A very nice trio from Bachmann. Mark in Oz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
