Model Forum / General / Railroads / July 2005Bachmann class 47?
Has anyone heard any whipsers? Cheers, Rob. > Has anyone heard any whipsers? No need to whisper, they've already hinted there will be one in next year's catalogue. John. "John Turner" <nospam@nospam.invalid> wrote they've already hinted there will be one in next year's catalogue. John. Do I really have to wait that long? :-( Two tone BR green will do me... (I don't like the Heljan model... Looks wrong when you have worked on the real thing! D1842) Andy Hi, I absolutely agree, the over scale body width is inexcusable in my opinion. Cheers, Rob.

Next year's catalogue? That will be about five years then.... > No need to whisper, they've already hinted there will be one in next > year's > catalogue. Where did they hint at that John? At one of the shows or was it from a rep? ~Fil > Where did they hint at that John? At one of the shows or was it from a rep? Both! Think about it - it's inconceivable they would produce the 57 without backdating same to a 47.

It's the 'next year' bit that's got me all a quiver.... ~Fil >> Think about it - it's inconceivable they would produce the 57 without >> backdating same to a 47.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that Hornby are so pleased with the response to their new 08 that they are pushing ahead with new tooling for both a 47 and a 37. Save the pennies for them instead.

Save the pennies for them instead. If I had any say in what Hornby were to produce in the way of diesel models (which I don't) I'd be going for a class 66 and a class 56. The 66 is the future of the freight railway in the UK for the forseeable future and Hornby need to have one in their range however good the current Bachmann offering is. The 56 just cries out to be re-tooled. The 47 and 37 can wait for now! :-) John. Whats this rumour of a 37 from hornby next year then?? > > I wouldn't be surprised to find that Hornby are so pleased with the > > response to their new 08 that they are pushing ahead with new tooling for [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > John. > Whats this rumour of a 37 from hornby next year then?? New one on me, but I did hear it suggested there might be some Lima re-releases in 2006. John. Hi John, I meant a brand new retooled 37 with class 50 bogies. ;-))))) > > Whats this rumour of a 37 from hornby next year then?? > > New one on me, but I did hear it suggested there might be some Lima > re-releases in 2006. > > John. > Hi John, I meant a brand new retooled 37 with class 50 bogies. ;-))))) Well if they are going to do that then I hope they pick appropriate class 37s to model. I don't believe the class 50 (or even class55) bogie is compatible with all 37s. John. >> Think about it - it's inconceivable they would produce the 57 without >> backdating same to a 47. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > It's the 'next year' bit that's got me all a quiver.... The latest edition of the club magazine is deliberately coy about the subject. "And what, we are asked continually, of a Class 47? Will there be one, and if so, when? Unfortunately we can't tell you at the moment - we will all have to wait and see!!" My guess is production capacity in China has forced them to put it on hold. (kim) >>> Think about it - it's inconceivable they would produce the 57 without >>> backdating same to a 47. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > if so, when? Unfortunately we can't tell you at the moment - we will all > have to wait and see!!" That's sounds like a big yes in commercial speak!!! Cheers, John. >>Where did they hint at that John? At one of the shows or was it from a >>rep? Southern EMUs now! |
