I was refering to the split chassis versions, i have the DCC ready one with the revised chassis, i would have thought there would be a slight modifcation for the body to fit, the models i was looking at are 31 - 708 and 31 - 713 Gazelle is the later model the same just a re release.

Looking at the split chassis models i cannot see any difference between the early and last ones made in new box, body tooling looks the same as is the chassis and detail parts except for an engine crew added on the earlier models.

BR Green with yellow warning panel.

Tender loco Ivatt class 2 Loco chassis brake rigging only. DELETE NOT NEEDED

Plastic ones same as Bachmann are these available.

Have they made the tender sides higher on the new model if so looks a lot better.

Who makes 4mm ladders trying to find the type as fitted to the later Bachmann 14t tank wagons.

Just read this topic any more pictures advice on detailing the model, i remember purchasing the old Triang/Hornby model in the late sixties i think it was a matt blue did they change to gloss when Hornby re introduced it in the 70/80s, beautifull looking model shown above has this been re painted, i was hoping Hornby or some one would make a super detailed ready to run model of this.

Preferably early type in black or green weathered if possible and boxed, but any thing considered.

Yes Fox do some sof these but can not find the information in boxes like Return To Advise with Shell adddress ect located at the tank bottom look the same as printed on the Bachmann early shell/bp grey 45t tank.

Just found this post i can not find any photos of the pre tops shell bp bogie A tanks apart from a couple in Tourrets book would like to see some on the mainline i believe these may have worked to and from Stanlowe as did there 45t but i may be wrong.

Yes looked on your website before, tried to down load a picture these markings are very simular to the Bachmann early shell / bp 45t fuel tanks.

Have some Bachmann 100t tank wagons want to back date to pre tops looking for the information data transfers positioned on the bottom of tanks.

Yes i know but was thinking of converting the Bachmann model will have to wait till we see it released, i have some spare fitted Bachmann chassis as could adapt these and sell the air brake ones.

Does the tender sides sit higher in relation to the cab roof on the new tooling or could it be just photo image angles as the roof seems lower in relation to the tender on the new model.

If not been mentioned already surely top of the list must be the Ford Corsair seen so many on the Ford car trains also would like a Mk1V Zodiac in silver fox as my late Dad had in the 60s all in 1/76 scale.

I just wonder how much is involved to convert the Bachmann back to a vacumn model.

The ones wanted are the early black Shell/BP with yellow/white stripes. Please Delete.

Looking for some of these boxed bogie tanks. All Sorted Please Delete.

Talking about block working does this only apply to the post steam era, i have only seen tho odd wagons in mixed freights wagon loads in the 62 - 68 period, or any pictures of these in block working in the said period.

Thank you Trailrage for making the effort to reply to my post nice picture and thanks for the painting tip, puts my faith back in this Forum that there are some helpful members.

Less of the attitude would be appreciated i was not complaining about prices though some would think so the cost is not a problem as i prefer to buy a completed model than build a kit which must apply to most i was just pointing out with a simple chassis it would be obviously cheaper to produce may be Bachmann will offer this as an alternative, i own a huge Bachmann collection as i prefer there products to most having purchased locos steam / diesel and coaches and wagons, as to replicating existing products i see a lot of manufacturers are doing the same recently.

Any photos of the Parkside completed kits Diag 1/217 vacumn version, dont know why Bachmann chose the air brake version first, seeing as the original version were more numerous on the network well into the eighties and making a very complicated chassis for the air brakes hence the inflated price.

Looking to purchase the ex Parkside kits the Vacumn version, any one provide photos of there completed kits.

Yes my exact thinking, i have that model as well as the Trouts they produced, i think Bachmann have no real competition if you model the 50/60s era apart from the odd Heljan release not including Oxford Rail which are good for the price and not forgetting Hattons with there excellent ICI Hoppers, any more not counting special retail commisions.
