For unbranded to work it has to be markted to the right modellers, and produced in smaller batches. But even then, Bachmann et al will always look at additional numbered releases as making them more sales. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium James Makin Posted January 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2022 Another vote here for a plain triple grey version please! Ideally no namers either, to help with those changing the identities! It can still be numbered and finished, (therefore sidestepping the whole 'unbranded models' debate) - there were actually a few unbranded plain triple grey 56s going around in the mid-90s onwards that would be ideal candidates.

owentherail Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Could do a choice of numbers from a rub down transfer set for a plain tripple grey, Alex can sort that out ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax50046 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’d love a dutch or dutch-transrail one. Even better if they could do it in their heavily weathered finish like the TEA’s :o) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains though that i think it was Bachmann who said they won't do it .... maybe cavalex could make it worth while ? i'm not against it , i'm all for it ( and saves potentially ruining the finish with t cut / thinners etc ) but seems unlikely to me .

Or do as Accurascale are doing and make them easily removable. (The Dapol TPE 68 is also easy to remove the numbers) n Edited February 5, 2022 by newbryford 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted February 13, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2022 On the spec sheet of this,will the sound fitted models be DC runable as the Accurascale models are with stay alive as standard from factory? The fact that the sound works on DC seems a good thing for all concerned. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernBlue80s Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 56036 went into large logo livery in 1978. It seems a no brainer from my perspective. Hornby never did it, no surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Like this ? My first ever exposure to a 56 via a OPC book - they seemed somehow foreign and exotic ( as did everything north of the Thames valley ! )I only ever saw one and that was on the bin liner , a transrail one, so they weren’t exactly common on my local freight in the mid 90s. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernBlue80s Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Yes Rob. Exactly people could run it on late 70s as well as 80s layouts. Unlike other large logo examples. So to me it has always been the most obvious large logo 56 for a manufacturer to start with. I used to see them in banger blue at Reading in the early 80s. I diet of the same WR examples. And used to make trips to the Midlands to cop a few of the more 'exotic' northern examples. Edited February 20, 2022 by SouthernBlue80s 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
