TomScrut Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I have a pink one on order. In a dilemma as to whether to order another of a different livery and which one.

Pillar Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know whether the Hattons 66 is designed to accommodate conversion to EM/P4? In particular, does it run on standard 2mm diameter axles? Edited January 10, 2020 by Pillar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows? With a shipping route of a few weeks, they are probably somewhere at sea. You mentioned Chinese New Year earlier. That is not for a couple of weeks anyway & the journey takes a few weeks. Look on the positive side; no payment is taken until the model gets processed for delivery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 10, 2020 I was in basford hall the other night and the big pink one was sat next to one of the orange ones, quite a colourful combination! ive got a ‘rainbow respray’ Bachmann 66 in pink, picked it up off a bay for £120 which was an absolute bargain Probably thanks to Hattons (and Hornby) announcing it in the main range thus reducing its worth also note the GBRf 60 which I’m glad Hornby never announced this week! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I think regardless of whatever euphemisms one can look at in the conversation, the subject is a model class 66 which in real life is actually painted pink. I don't see how this has come to people arguing. Surely we all know we are talking about a locomotive and not a part of the male anatomy?

Soon as everyones got their model they’ll stop thinking of other types of models. just hope when the pink 66 arrives, its clean.. if its weathered some may think it caught something in the far east. In reality how many pink 66’s are there ? I passed on near York a few months back, you couldnt miss it really, no idea the number... fwiw.. the top worst liveries I can think of are: 41101, 47803, 31116, this Pink 66 fits in the list.

I don't think I'll be joining in anymore. sorry, I genuinely thought you were in on the joke, sorry if I’ve offended you at all! I’ll know in future to handle the pink one with care! (ok i’ll stop now) jokes aside though I should imagine that particular livery will be a good seller, it’s certainly very distinctive and something different to have and I bet it will look good pulling a rake of the recently announced Hornby pink ONE containers! of the 30 or so Bachmann 66s I have I’d say 2/3 of those are some sort of special livery or have livery adornments (mainly GBRF) as I like to have something different but there are a few standard livery locos to return some monotony to the trains Edited January 11, 2020 by big jim 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yes there is only one 66 in that livery as for paying respray prices if your lucky like I was before Christmas I saved over £100 on the original respray cost of the pink ‘ONE’ (just checked and I paid £136) similarly I got a cairns road works Cemex livery 66780 Bachmann respray for £114, there are a couple up on eBay at the minute for £230 BIN, which when you consider you can soon get the hattons one for £150 and the Hornby railroad one for £80 is a bit optimistic to my eyes if like me you see nothing wrong with the Bachmann 66 now is the time to pick up some real bargains on line and in model shops 2nd hand cupboards as people trade up to the hattons one, I even picked up the rails LTD ED freightliner ’poppy’ from topp trains in Stafford on NYE For £85! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bachmann one is good enough although I aren't actively seeking to buy anymore until the dust settles with Hattons ones. If I do buy more Bachmanns it will probably be celebs that Hattons don't make (I want the TFL one to go with my Harry Beck and I also want the rainbow one). Then I'd just be scared I'd pay collector's prices for something that Hattons might just announce they do a run of! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear alone has tanked values of several rarer 66’s and 47’s. It wasn’t that long ago a couple of rarer 47’s were going towards £300 !!, with 1 expception, ebays rarest without sound is around £200 now, <£100 the majority.
