Title: 108 DMU
Post by: mojo on February 23, 2022, 07:37:07 PM
When did Bachmann supply the 108?
Are there any still available new or is it a case of 2nd. hand?
For sentimental reasons I would like the green version with speed whiskers.

2008. I've no idea if any new ones are left. Suspect it's a trawl of all the likely places, but I guess secondhand is really the only way you'll get one.

All the info you need on the BF 108 http://www.ngauge.org.uk/bac_dmu_108.php (http://www.ngauge.org.uk/bac_dmu_108.php)

Rest of the site is excellent too.

If you really want a speed whiskers version but can only get the green one with small yellow panels, I've repainted the end of mine and then used Fox speed stripes to get the result.

They do appear frequently on eBay, but sometimes with fancy prices attached (and I'm not going down that argument again).

Thanks for the replies and link, looks like an interesting site.
As I have no idea of the new price, what sort of price should I be expecting for 2nd hand?

Just go on EBay, search for what you want, i.e "Farish Class 108 Green" and then down the sidebar tick "sold" or "completed" and you will see....
