RMweb Gold Adam1701D Posted January 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2012 No idea until Bachmann announce their 2012/13 range, however, when it was mentioned at the NGS AGM last year, the 105 is the most requested model to go through the shrink-ray.

Xerces Fobe2 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi all ,what are the views on the class 105 cravens dmu coming to light from farish 2012/13? Mark. If it's as good as the Bachmann 4mm one you will be pleased - 2 of us with North London line layouts with both Class 105 and 501 MU's - given me an idea!

BROADTRAIN1979 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hi, My view hopefully should be....

frobisher Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well into the new year ,so i wonder if the plans are on the table being looked at and into action for this great dmu in 'n' I seem to recall a statement from Bachmann that the 101 essentially jumped ahead of the 105 in the "shrinking schedule" so I'd expect an announcement within the next year or so (if not this year).

BernardTPM Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 More a case of the 101 having been waiting long enough - there is no Bachmann 101 but there had been a Poole Farish one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROADTRAIN1979 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 If this gets released i will put the loksound micro in to the more refined dmu but until then im happy with my conversion as its fairly close. Mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted February 2, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2012 From what Bachmann reps have told me at shows, the 105 will appear in N before too long. The sales of the 108 and 101 have been healthy (apparently healthier than the class 150). From what they said, the 105 is likely to be the last first generation DMU from Farish for a while as they don't want to flood the market. Means that Dapol is the most likely source of 63' units (based on the class 121 chassis). Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frobisher Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Means that Dapol is the most likely source of 63' units (based on the class 121 chassis). I wouldn't necessarily say that. The same drive unit is used in the 4CEP as the 108, 101 and 150 two of which are 64ft units. It's a no brainer for Dapol to put a DMBS body on the 121 chassis to giet them the start of a 117 though, but it's equally easy for Farish to develop a 63ft DMU from what they have if they want to.

Xerces Fobe2 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Mark Until the Graham Farish 105 is released, you will have to make do with watching a Class 105 and Class 501's together in 4mm on my Croxley WRD layout Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted February 2, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2012 it's equally easy for Farish to develop a 63ft DMU from what they have if they want to. I don't disagree with you. I was just passing on what Colin Albright said - he thought with the 105 there would be enough first generation DMUs to satisfy demand (for the time being at least), hence Dapol being the more likely to give us some 62' units.

Karhedron Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 More a case of the 101 having been waiting long enough - there is no Bachmann 101 but there had been a Poole Farish one. I am suprised that Bachmann have not released a 00 version. The Limby version is long in the tooth and new one to modern standards would surely sell well.

BernardTPM Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I don't disagree with you. I was just passing on what Colin Albright said - he thought with the 105 there would be enough first generation DMUs to satisfy demand (for the time being at least), hence Dapol being the more likely to give us some 62' units Not only are 101, 105 & 108 all first-generation DMUs, they are also all low-density, 57ft first generation DMUs. A choice in one category only - no high density, no cross-country, no inter-city DMUs. Dapol could step closer by doing the driving trailers that used to run with the 121/122s if they didn't want to tool a whole 117 in one go. That would give them the 'other' end and a non-power type underframe and get some money back on extra tooling before taking the final steps to a full 117.

Tequila Sunrise Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Not only are 101, 105 & 108 all first-generation DMUs, they are also all low-density, 57ft first generation DMUs. A choice in one category only - no high density, no cross-country, no inter-city DMUs. I bet Kings Cross commuters don't need reminding that the 105s were low density The mix is not dissimilar to their 4mm portfolio though - just went for 101s in N gauge instead of the Derby Lightweights.

BernardTPM Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yes; the Cl.101 would otherwise be sorely missed in N. (The Limby 00 Cl.101 is still streets ahead of the old Farish in looks, even if not quite to the latest standards) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carderrail Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Not convinced they were good sellers in 00 gauge so may scupper an N Gauge version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yep, there's a whole load of other units that have been touted and mentioned that are more likely to get done in N gauge. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portpatrick Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I would buy one if it were produced (in green) but I am not holding my breath. My BHE kit will run on (cant remember what sort of Japanese chassis powers it now) for as long as necessary. I'd rather have a class 100 which is even more unlikely .

How much did you carve off the 108? While I would do a green one I might fancy taking this on . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would do a green one I might fancy taking this on They are NTrain ends which require several coats of paint to make them smooth. I cut the 108 ends off along the door line.
