    Do these line up with the Bachmann mk1 buffers any pictures showing a Maroon one with Bachmann Maroon mk1s please.

    R3099 having the A3 boiler would be ok for back dating to a 60s model, would need the red name plates and a single chimney who makes the best examples of these.

    Hornby looks to possibly make the rebuilt crosti as well, Bachmann yet again has missed a lost opportunity, i was really hoping they would do this variation.
  4. paul 27
    It will be interesting to see who introduces the rebuilt crosti first, i think Hornby missed out not making there early version in super detail so hopefully Bachmann may do a retooled version or just rebody there current one.

    Thanks for the replies does the Railroad version have the same five pole motor as these.

    Looking at R2441 2004 model, and R3099 2011 model, are these basicaly the same.

    With out reading thru all these 80 pages, are there any comments on the red departmental types, are they correct circa 1960s any pictures please.

    I second that having all his books also, as stated before hoping his next publication will be his colour work.

    Would be interested in these transfers.

    The two pictures above of the Hornby model appear to be the same, which one is in the correct livery as I have seen both models advertised I guess it is the more orange colour shown in the first picture as opposed to the red in the second one shown, though I think the red looks better compared with the original, nice picture shown at Sandbach. Are 4mm transfers available for these may be CCT.

    What is the BTF video these photos were taken from.
  14. paul 27
    Who makes the best transfers trying to match to the Bachmann diesel ones, tried the PC Models.

    Thanks Kier for the link nice layout by the way.

    I was using the above picture by Kier Hardy as an example may be he has more to show any more models of red support coaches specially ones for the London Midland Region 1960s.

    I cannot remove the body on mine all six screws removed seems to be glued solid at both ends, any one else had this problem and how did they solve this or is it best to return.

    Oxford N7

    paul 27 replied to 45568's topic in Oxford Rail

    If not mentioned before has this a 5 or 3 pole motor any more information on these are they quiet who makes these for Oxford.

    No I don't need telling that I have enough of the older models, I purchased this new model for obvious reasons plus it has lights, my main concern was it seems slightly smaller in height I doubt it has been scanned.
  22. paul 27
    Thanks Porky Mane, I don't think mine does its quiet in one direction but leading number 1 end has a motor rattle noise.
  23. paul 27
    How do you access the motor for oiling, thanks.
  24. paul 27
    Why because they were cheaper no logic in that, I was referring to the previous models being good value and detailed enough for the price.
  25. paul 27
    Having purchased one I find the body sits quite lower than my other 24s and 25s nobody has mentioned this, does this mean Bachmann are scaling down there locos, it looks like its the body not the chassis that is shorter in height, may be this new model has been scanned for accurate dimensions.
