I’m waiting on decals to finish 130. Fox used to do them but they appear to be discontinued.

I acquired 3 in the TMC new year sale 🤣

That looks fabulous.

Another DB 90 off the workbench in the guise of glider 90037. Looks good with all the decals on it. Pristine at the moment. It might get weathered!

Unfortunately they are not the same so don’t fit. 3D printing is the short term solution!

Everyone needs resprays 🤭

Very pleased with the new announcements. Nothing to conflict with respray plans 🤭

Thanks Fran. Can’t wait to see them. My colours aren’t nailed to any masts, I am loving having the new tractors from Bachmann to play with and very much looking forward to yours too.

Wowzers. Do they need playing with er I mean customising?! Haha. Anyways back to tractors. I’ve just repainted another so crossing fingers it’s not on the list tomorrow 🤣

The 92 is the best RTR loco to date in my view. The Deltic is great too. And yes agree re the 40, as I mentioned too. They’ve done all that research, may as well get their moneys worth.

And providing they sit flush… these look pretty great to my eyes too.

Just to remind how much Bachmann have nailed them though!

I cannot see that being the final fit in a million years. You can see the ridge in the real 419 in my snip of my pic below, and I expect the finished product will be more like that than the sample model linked above. Having revisited the original unpainted sample pics of the AS tractors I suspect we are going to be spoilt for choice going forward. If you’re an 80s or 90s or most of the 00s you can have a Bachmann 37/4 and for modern 37/4’s you’ve got a choice… similarly with the split box 37/0s. Will the Bachmann new announcements bring anymore joy for us tomorrow I wonder? Bachmann just need to sort the 40 now 🤭

There is no aerial hole on the nose with 430. Haven’t checked the model of 423 I have here. I thought of another large logo tractor you could do from 430 easily - 422. Andi.

I do not like the new glazing. In the pic I took of this one you can see the purple reflection on the nose. I’m waiting to see the AS model before passing definitive judgement. The windscreens on the Bachmann one are off the scale - understand a lot of work went in to get them so - will be interesting to see what the AS ones look like.

No it got a nose aerial in its large logo days. I’d say reasonably straightforward - 401 is the obvious one to pick - or any other with the centrally mounted lamp bracket. Flickr is your friend to hunt them down :-)

And a shiny GB one ;-)

Finished another DRS one for now ;-)

Very tasty! Have you any spare horn grilles perchance?!

Thank you :-)

Here’s one of them!

Will dig one out 😃

My £99 specials both went into DRS!

Seeing it cost me £50 for a pair of pantograph’s!

That does look the part!
