Oliver Rails Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 This week we visited Bachmann to discuss progress and the design and production schedule. The CAD is completed with only minor alterations needed. The plan is to have a EP sample before the Glasgow exhibition in February. Livery samples are due shortly after. Thanks Oliver 6 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Oliver Thanks for the update Oliver! Looking forward to it. Please do share more pics as you get them, I'm sure we'd all like to see them! Do you think you're still on for a Q1 finish date or is Q2 more realistic? Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an N Gauge transition modeller I wasn't aware of that supplier. Quite a few options for which I will have to do some research. And practicing of coach building skills.

Oliver Rails Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 We still expect a first EP of the Caledonian 812 to be with us next month, we have stressed in time for Model Rail Scotland. In regards to the adverts, we have quite a few ongoing exclusive projects we simply rotate project adverts in our magazine / advert space. More updates will follow as soon as we hear them.

JonathonAG Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Unfortunately I'm not able to make it along to MRS this weekend due to work commitments. Would anybody attending be able to share if any further updates are being given at the Rails stand, and if even an EP version has made it (although understandable if not, can foresee a delay on that due to the coronavirus issues). Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
