If people are interested in other stuff, they'll miss other people's posts. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted May 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2021 My reading of the title is that it is for a thread concerning Bachmann’s Summer 2021 new products, with the 24/0 mentioned next, and hence subsequently in order of importance, because it is the only new tooling being released at this time that was not previously announced. It is the only thread on which the Summer releases can be discussed, including the 24/0. There may be other valid ways to interpret the title, but this is my understanding of it. The precise meaning is open to interpretation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precise meaning is open to interpretation. Exactly. The post was created by Andy Y and listed new stuff including the "skinhead" 24 as well as V2s etc. Because 24s and 25s are my fave diesels I would prefer a dedicated thread charting the progress and piccies of the Bachmann models, but that would involve a lot of donkey work for Andy to carve this thread up. Perhaps when more development is made the models can have their own thread. EDIT Incidentally describing the "skinhead" 24 as a 24/0 runs the same risk as describing the headcoded 24 as a 24/1. The first fifty D5000-D5049 were TOPS designated 24/0 then D5050-D5150 were designated 24/1 of which D5114-D5150 were headcoded.

Once I had the information from Bachmann, I couldn’t remember which thread the discussion was in. I’ve stuck the information in the V2 thread, which is the obvious place for it. I can’t deny that I’ve enjoyed the rambles, though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone can start a new thread and transfer the main details from the OP such as the photos? That's what normally happens. I bumped the Compound thread as I was trying to get people to post in that instead of everything getting lost in here. There is also the problem that some items that are interesting have been virtually ignored. Including the bogs.... PS I'm not volunteering. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Sulzer Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The new class 24 review in Hornby magazine (issue 170).Page 87.has a view of the cassis block moulding showing a moulding of the6LDA28A Power unit side & also the traction motor blowersThis detail will not be visible unfortunately .Which provokes the the thought hopefully Bachmann will produce a 25\2 variant with its engine room windows some of this detail will be visible. More so when possibly engine room lights are included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so when possibly engine room lights are included. Bachmann announced their class 25s in a catalogue a couple of years ago. IIRC there were three examples listed, one of which showed 25060 in BFYE TOPS as a real photograph. Now when I went to school 25060 was a 25/1 with the body side air intakes and sealed up nose gangways. From memory the other two class 5 models were actually representing the cantrail gtilles and deep middle windscreens of most 25/2 (excluding 218-247) and all 25/3.

Thank you I am aware..BUT since the Bachmann announce of intent .Two companies have tooled the same loco with one already available. Then this year without any pre announcement , a retooled class 24 comes along with no hint via the "works report "section of the Bachmann collectors club magazine . Bachmann have taken a different marketing policy with quarterly announcements as we all know. Who knows what Gem will turn up next in re-tool forum. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are roughly every 3 months. They are in the months Paul.Uni mentioned for 2020, and as he pointed out, 2021 has been the same so far. I would expect it early August.
