RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2015 The colour looks to me to be a green turquoise, but then there are so many issues with colour temperature on photos that are taken in less than ideal lighting. I think I'll wait until I see one in the flesh (!). Regards Hi, PenrithBeacon. I took the photo's with a floodlight helping to highlight the model. Without it, the green looks quite dark, rather like the MK1 stock. However, this model will be weathered so that it resembles one of those vans where the actual livery was all but indiscernible! With regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2015 That looks very, very nice. However for a little work and swearing about my stubby fingers (sorry Stubby) and what paint and decals to use, I could get two Parkside kits and tart them up with etched handles etc.then cover them in crud as per the prototype. Seriously tempted but the cost of these RTR things reflecting the cost of research production, is now getting a bit scary when kits are available. Q I know where you're coming from Phil but I happen to think they're worth the money and mine's on its way as I speak.A western vehicle to the same standard please Bachmann. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously tempted but the cost of these RTR things reflecting the cost of research production, is now getting a bit scary when kits are available. Q As is your choice Quackers, however, having paid almost £16 for an LNER pattern horse box kit with time, paint and transfers still to spend, to go with the superb Hornby (LMR) effort for around a score, I'm not so sure these days that kits offer the savings over RTR that some profess. See comments in B'mann new tool Thompson's. You won't wonder that some of us would be keen to ditch our mediocre kit attempts and/or ancient RTR crocks for something with a bit of finesse? C6T.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2015 On Saturday a crimson PMV and a green PMV came home with me when I popped into my local model shop. Looking at them, the do appear to be a tad better than the Hornby Doublo model or what I could do with a Parkside kit. A little bit disappointed that the CCT is not available as yet in the liveries of time period I model. I am sure they will be. The big question is do I continue to make that Ks kit I have had in the to do pile for a long time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Can anyone give me the running numbers on all four please? Bar the PLV, I am looking at getting the one of the two PMV and the CCT done in Southern livery at somepoint... Many thanks. Looks like all the photos I took of SR 1174 will be useful now...!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit disappointed that the CCT is not available as yet in the liveries of time period I model. I am sure they will be. The big question is do I continue to make that Ks kit I have had in the to do pile for a long time? I would say, "Yes." I intend to keep running my old Hornby Dublo/Wrenn, Parkside and K's vans in mixed trains because they still add variety to the mix. My efforts cannot match the finesse and detail of the Bachmann units, but when they are in a train that is actually running, they all blend in. Besides, it is still more fun to build your own and to be able to point at it and say, "I did that." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Is the "proper" PMV planned for a blue release too ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben04uk Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Bachmann said there were plenty of variants they could do, including the plywood versions, when they first announced them in 2012. So the answer is probably yes but don't expect it for a couple of years at least! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question is do I continue to make that Ks kit I have had in the to do pile for a long time? Bachmann appear to have modelled the CCT body in the late condition after BR had sealed up the end doors and removed redundant handles etc. so blue is the only correct livery. If they are sensible (which they usually are) Bachmann will have made their moulds with interchangeable ends so they can produce earlier versions later. More concerning (at least to me) is that Bachmann's CCT has the same, relatively rare, combination of side and door planking represented on the HD/Wrenn/Dapol vans. I wouldn't bother with the old K's kit. IIRC the sides had very peculiar planking with a rounded rather than flat surface. Looked like a log cabin on wheels. Just horrible.
