MRDBLUE17 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I joined the club just to get these models. I never thought Bachmann would produce the WCRC Pullmans and they are very nice models. I got the 37 too so only really cost £4 to join the club with the combined saving on these models. The MK1's are fairly easy to model using the maroon MK1's from Bachmann, end steps can be removed and I brush painted rail match maroon on the ends. An orange cant rail stripe was also painted along the roof line and after removing the old numbers with some humbrol thinners and cotton bud Railtec transfers were added which cover logos, names and numbers. A decent rake can be formed. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark i used the hachette "your model railway" coaches to make a rake of WCR coaches, as you say, cant rail and railtec decals, job done (oh and new metal wheels) i keep umming and ahhing over this 37, do i join the club to get one or not? one day i think yes then i change my mind, thing is i know when i decide to get one they will have sold out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stueyboy43 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Buy one Big Jim, you will not regret it. I have one, and as soon as I saw it in the flesh I thought it looked even better than the pics. The livery really does suit the loco and though plain, it does look classy. I don't think there are many left so don't leave it too late. Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2016 thing is i have a wcr 33 to pull my coaches and i don't really need another 37, had they offered a wcr 47 as the collectors club model then i'd have joined and ordered the day it was announced annoyingly i used to have the vi-trains 37/47 twin pack but i sold it on, wish i hadn't now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan Wallgate OO Gauge Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Which of my locos would you like to be in Jim? Hopefully have some little Jim's arriving soon but unsure as to which to fit them to! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesthecat Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Along with the new light rail trams there should be a couple of heritage trams running too Jim. Well worth a ride. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leander22b Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If they can't get the buffers correct on 37706, I doubt they'll get 950001 right! (37706 has "squared oval" at the No2 end) The two Pullmans are 99347 and 99352 - this is 99352's current livery.... and has been since at least 2012 99348/350 would be better choices Cheers, Mick Noted on yesterdays Cumbrian Mountain Express 99348 is now in full Pullman livery carrying the name 'Topaz'.

The Black Hat Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Are WCRC putting their Pullmans back into Pullman livery to then do their own Pullmann dining train? I thought that was the plan, but not really had it confirmed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil It worked from Liverpool to Scarborough yesterday http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/conservedpreservedcoach/e7abf3e46 and others. Sapphire was also in the train, similarly adorned, so a bit more mixed than an all maroon train. Paul Edited July 31, 2016 by hmrspaul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spet0114 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Getting close to September and a new Club model. Anyone care for the usual spot of guesswork as to what it might be? Looking back over recent(ish), my money's on a class 47. Cheers Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted August 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2016 Can't see it being another Class 37 when the last OO scale club model was 37706. For the same reason it's steam's turn. V3, Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T, LMS Crab, BR Std 2-6-4T or A1 are the steam locos either newly out or expected August to October.

JSpencer Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 There don't seem to be any all new locos from them recently, so I doubt the V3 and Ivatt 2MT will be on the list. Even the diesels seem to be a bit over filled right right now. Maybe another class 40 since they were last to be re-run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted August 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2016 They've just made a batch of 66s I think. Haven't London Underground museum got there's. So Evening Star would be a good guess I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted August 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm just trying to think about what possible loco could be announced. A lot of special liveries have been produced or announced recently so it doesn't leave that many possibilities for special liveried locos. It could possibly be a WCRC Maroon 47 or 57/3. Although with the 37 just released a 47 or 57/3 wouldn't really go I don't think. On the charters and railtours you normally see 47 and 57/3 combinations. 66779 could be an option although this might come at a later stage as a NRM Limited Edition. Or it could be a DRS Revised 57 or 20th Anniversary liveried 57307. This would make sense seen as though 57s have been announced in March. Possibly another 37. 37025, 37057 or a DRS operated BR Large Logo liveried 37 to go with 37401 when released. Or 37800 or 37884. A GBRF liveried Class 66. After all lots of the latest ones have been named. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but you are assuming it has to be from contemporary raikway and as they have just pj led out the sludge 37 and coaches, I think they fear alienating others with intereste in different areas. NSE is having an anniversary, so maybe a 47 in those colours... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking modern image but like you say if they continue with modern image locos and stock they could be alienating others who have interests in other eras. I'm sure whatever model is announced it will be fantastic. Thinking about it, it might not be a modern image loco because if all of the special liveried locos are produced quickly then they will soon run out of locos to produce in the future.
