Green Duffs with sound at last ! 

Mmmm, nothing outstanding or unexpected.

BR 10t meat van
BR 12t plywood fruit vans
JGA stone hopper
BYA steel carrier

Class 47 in blue (two running numbers, neither pre-TOPS)
Class 47 in green (two running numbers)


I was hoping for a couple more class 47 liveries.

I thought that was quite good, green duffs with the upgraded chassis are most welcome and have been hoped for since the upgrades.

A fair selection of rolling stock too, although only the vans were of interest to me, I'm sure many others will welcome the bogie vehicles.

A regular small selection of new N is always welcome.

What is interesting is that the new vans appear to have NEM couplings, which is very welcome. I thought the images looked like they did, and according to Bachmann's own site they do. I'll keep any eye out for future releases which are closer to my eras.

I am happy for those that want them that blue and green 47s are back in the latest tooling.

I am a bit bemused why they have been announced before the last three arrive, but that may actually be unintentional.

I may be a cynic but suspect they are all part of one production batch.

If blue and green are most popular as many of us suspect, there's probably more chance that people add one of these to an order from the first 3 than choose blue or green and another from 5 options at the same time

That's what I did but Scotrail was the livery in addition to blue that I was hoping for anyway

I'm up for one of the two tone green 47s

I decided on D1601 in green sound fitted, it will look great at the head of a GC "Cross Country" made up of maroon Mk1s.

That two tone green 47 looks awesome. Is there a weathered version?

No. But a certain Ensign Elliott of this parish does a grand job if you want me to facilitate such a thing

Having seen some of Rob's work in the flesh, I agree, his weathering is extremely good.

Thanks chaps 

Glad to see Green 47s have got the new chassis, I may well have another for my own fleet.

Although I was hoping for a major announcement such as a King or 10xx County, I suppose it was unrealistic seeing at the V2s are still to appear. It also gives me more time to save for the new Dapol 43xx and BOBs.

As a customer who has had a variety of stock weathered, renumbered and even one repsray, I can strongly recommend Rob! Very very satisfied with his work.
