    Bachmann /LT Museum 66/7's

    in Bachmann

    I'm sure I would have been able to have picked these up from the shop or when they came in stock but wanting to make sure I secured them all I can say is I'm glad I monitor this thread as I'd signed up to be informed when the pre-orders were open again but nothing from LTM.....apart that is from the shops newsletter every couple of weeks which I'd not asked for when I signed up for pre-order notification!

     

    Price rises and charity status aside it certainly feels like the communication and ordering process could have been better.

    Hi Ben,

     

    Good to meet you at DEMU Burton and take a look at the N gauge TEA's.

     

    I had planned on ordering some of these but seeing how good the N versions looked in ones hand prompted me to hurry up and order before the early bird discount expires! So... order just placed.

    Dapol's new Class 68 locomotives

    in Dapol

    Ever stop and think that Dapol maybe dont want them to be seen until they are correct, or people to come on here, slate it and then everyone gets the wrong impression??

     

    Well of course....but then where's the sense in allowing a supplier to take them to a diesel 'showcase' event if there's a concern they're not correct?? I'm not complaining, would have just liked to see how the DRS and Scotrail examples are coming along given I'm not often in the UK.

    The 68s were on DCC Supplies stand.

     

    Well I didn't see 'em, and I looked at the DCC Supplies stand! Sounds like from the other comments they were potentially 'under the table' and only bought out on request which if correct seems a bit silly!

     

    So..... did anyone snap a photo of them that they can post up?

    Like Mick I had a quick look at the 68s at DEMU's Showcase exhibition at the weekend and they look great. As Mick says there are a few livery tweaks to correct particularly on the DRS version.

     

    Cheers, Mike

     

    Where were they Mike? I was there most of Saturday and I never saw 'em!

    Two more order required for the next production run Guys?

     

    Hi Pete,

     

    Sent you a mail, not sure if you got it. I'm ready to order one but......given I don't have the time and more importantly the talent to build and paint one to a high standard can you recommend someone who'd be willing to take it on? Mozza Models isn't taking on anymore work at the moment.

     

    Thanks

    Seeing as Warley is a bit of a trek for me I'd like to thank Richard w and Wolf27 for posting those photos.

     

    I'd also like to thank Jason and the rest of the team (again!) for going ahead with this model. Looks so good as it is, I'm really pleased to have pre-ordered it and can't wait for it to arrive.

     

    Hat's off to Rapido as you've put your money where you're mouth is and are delivering on what you say, something that often seems to be missing from so many aspects of our lives.

     

    Keep up the good work, haven't been so glued to one particular thread for a long time.

    It's not that I've been living under a rock but MR magazine takes a little while to reach here, so having got all excited by reading the article in the August edition and not visiting this site for a little while I was happily surprised to find this thread and that Locomotion were already open for business!

     

    I'd just like to add to all the other comments Jason, absolutely top choice. I've been waiting for a RTR version of this since I first saw it at York in 1980 during a school model railway club outing to the museum so order duly just placed for a DCC sound version.

     

    Quick question if I may and apologies if it has already been answered but having just read most of the 26 preceding pages I couldn't see it.....but will there be speakers in both power cars so we get the sound effect twice as the train passes?

     

    Thanks again for deciding to model this as your UK market entrance model and I know it's already been mentioned so I'll request it softly......APT-P next please!

    Hi Keith

     

    Thanks for that but I was asking re steveb860's post above! ;-)  I can see from your photos that's just the standard ESU speaker.

    Yep, I fitted Howes sound chip and a Bass speaker ( part no mentioned in Westerns instructions) from DCC supplies. Some soldering skills needed if upgrading speaker. Sounds wonderful. 

     

    Steve, is that the bass enhanced or bass reflex speaker?
