I too received an email from Hornby this morning stating that they couldn't repair my Class 31 (31270) and that they would give me a £100 voucher for use on their website. Having had a quick look, there is nothing of interest at the moment but hopefully that may change but given the recent cancellations I am sceptical. Somewhat disappointed as my model had been professionally weathered and renumbered; the additional cost of which is not really covered by the voucher. With 3 other Class 31s in my collection I am worried that I may have wasted a lot of money. As Farish now do a Class 31, perhaps an upscale by Bachmann could be a step forward or maybe SLW could do one with all the 'bells and whistles'?

Have a look at the Bachmann Collectors Club website or just Google it. Did try and post a link but it wouldn't work.

During the 80s, the 1018 (SO) Scarborough - Newcastle during the summer holidays. Nearly always a Class 37. I remember also getting 37191 'International Youth Year 1985' resplendent in Large Logo livery from Scarborough to York on a Sca - Glasgow Queen St service. The other Class 37 on the Deltic Silver Jubilee was 37001.

Bachmann 97403 IXION in RTC livery (Ebay ref - 171685006826) Currently at £560 with about 15 minutes to go!!!

London Underground Class 20 - 'cannot be purchased from Model Shops'! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-class-20-London-Transport-brand-new-EXCLUSIVE-ONLY-/281286236571?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item417df7599b Well, apart from the LT Museum shop in Covent Garden (and online), where they cost £60 less!!!

I believe the D369 version is DCC Ready. Therefore will run on DC.

Could this be a case of bidding without actually reading the whole listing? If not then I am puzzled! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380560004156?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Hi Industrial, how did you find that info? Just noticed the numerous £1 increments that the under-bidder has placed.

£21.01 - I think someone has got a little bit over excited with this Hornby Railroad crane: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200877740233?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649

Wow, did this really happen? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290603293429?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Over £110 inc P&P for a just released Modelzone Mk1 BG in RTC livery!!!!! Interesting to see what the others currently on EBay sell for.

Oops, I got the name of the magazine wrong!!!! Thanks for pointing it out!!!!

I have personally dealt with the seller before and they were very good, very prompt and the item was immaculate. I don't doubt that they had the item for one second. I was certainly not questioning the sellers honesty but was amazed that some people still pay these prices despite the new model coming out. I paid slighlty more for my version in 2009 so was a bit miffed when Modelzone announced their new version!

I have been watching an original Model Rail Baccy RTC Class 24 and was amazed to see that it went for £211 plus postage. I guess that news about the new Modelzone version which will sell for £71.99 hasn't filtered far and wide yet! Chris

I fancy the Blue set although as a modeller of the ER around Yorkshire I might have to have an occasional Railtour from 'darn sarf' to justify! In fact what do I need to justify, I've just bought a 4-Cep 'cause I liked it. The very first loco I ever got was a Lima Class 33 which I then supplemented with the Lima 33027 'Earl Mountbatten of Burma'. I think I might make my own but notice that there is scope for a grey-roofed version on the future list - would that include the 'Burmas' I wonder? Chris

Good point. Thank you.

Chris The Bachmann site does mention the following: 'Five-part steel coil load with cradles compatible with BDA bogie bolster wagons' From that I summise that they are indeed removeable. It would save having to buy a rake of empties for the return working! Cheers, Chris

The Bachmann website is showing an image of the new BAA steel coil carrier. Looks pretty good IMHO and I for one can't wait to obtain a few to model the Lackenby-Corby tubeliners that I so fondly remember passing through Holgate jct at York.
