C&WR Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 ...BTW as I understand it Bachmann have declared the TPE version of this livery all but impossible as the shading goes from dark at the bottom to light at the top, in addition to all the other complications of the livery. Here's the text of an email I had from Bachmann in response to my asking whether they were going to re release the 166: The versions we have produced in First Great Western livery do not reflect the current livery application but earlier versions of it before the ‘dynamic lines’ were added. We are at present unable to reproduce the First Great Western ‘Dynamic lines’ livery which utilises a graduated tint. Graduated tints start at say 5% and move upwards to say 100%. Our Tampo printing process allows us to produce any percentage of tint but it has to be consistent across the who printing area. At present the technology we employ does not enable us to produce a totally accurate livery for First Great Western. We have our team working on how we can reproduce this complex livery with its graduated tints but so far the technology to do so is not available. We are not the only manufacturer who face this problem with the current FGW livery. I would be happy with the old version, TBH, but settled for the NSE one as I got it for £70... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainline wagons normally go for £3-£5 depending on the body as the underframe is totally useless. The Deltic is awful and code 3, whatever that means, I presume re-painted, so worth very little.

M b Given that they claim to be professional layout builders and given that they don't claim it'll even be ready for pick up for nearly three weeks, you'd think they might solder up those last 2% .
