GordonC Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Those photos look superb Paul. can I ask what kind of equipment you used to scan those, presumably, slides in? do they come off the scanner like that without any need for photoshopping or touching up?

RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted August 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2014 I managed to purchase a blue and grey inspection saloon yesterday from Ian Allan in Birmingham and the detail and finish is superb ok it was at full RRP £59.99 but to be honest I think it's worth it for a one off type of carriage and also the fact it's a whole train I won't need a rake of them and it'll fit in within my next layout idea perfectly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yes they are imminent - had a tip-off e-mail from Hattons 2 days ago regarding my pre-order (but weren't in stock as of lunchtime today) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45059 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 As at the time of writing Antics have 6 (make that 5) of the blue/grey in stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted August 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2014 Seems a bit odd. All three versions are still listed on Bachmann's website as expected September/October. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45059 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I agree, John. 'Tis strange, but not unheard of of late. I'm sure recently (I can't remember specifically which) items have been released and in the shops, only for Bachmann's own website to show that they were 'due in the next 30 days'.

Dan Griffin Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 How long did blue/grey last in traffic? I model late 80's early 90's. I can feel a intercity raspberry ripple repaint coming! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hi Dan, be careful with the intended respray as I think by the time the Inter-City livery was applied, the heater vents had been installed, which I do not think are included on the Bachmann model. cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted August 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've just been emailed by Hattons stating my preordered blue-grey version has been charged for - so they're in stock in Liverpool. Preorder price was £42.50. Looking forward to getting this model on my layout, will get a trip out first behind one of my Bath Road class 25/1s.

Free At Last Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Just received an email from Hattons...

Hi, yes, my order for a blue and grey one has been charged to my card at £42.50, I got free postage too, and is shipped, I have the tracking number. I go on holiday first thing, so it will be another 10 days before I get a look at it and no doubt find out about all the deficiencies by being subscribed to this thread! Be good to each other.

black and decker boy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think Hattons changed their stance when Bachmann withdrew their expected price so preorders before that are honoured but those after were subject to the well let you know clause.
