tmc Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 We have more news! Albeit a little bit later than planned the first container is on its way, but its contents are different to what we originally thought [fun this isn't it!]. The second container is likely to be a few weeks behind so our best guestimate of when we are likely to be sending these models out is now as follows:- 35-250Z Late June; 35-250ZSF Mid July; 35-251Z Late June; 35-251ZSF Mid July; 35-252Z Late June; 35-252ZSF Late June; 35-253Z Late June; 35-253ZSF Late June; 35-254Z Late June; 35-254ZSF Mid July; 35-255Z Late June; 35-255ZSF Late June; 35-256Z Mid July; 35-256ZSF Last June; 35-259Z Mid July; 35-259ZSF Mid July. Invoices and requests for payment on pre-orders will not be sent until we know the goods are in Bachmann's warehouse for onward despatch to ourselves. All versions are still available, though from pre-orders it looks like some are somewhat more popular than others. 11 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J21 is probably a possible contender for most of that era of LNER inside cylinder locos, the J21, N8, N9, N10, JG5, are all fairly closely related. Granted the J21 hasn't ran in 40 plus years..... J27 I suppose could be used, as it is related, although enlarged, and with a different chimney. Thanks Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium D5158 Posted May 3, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2023 With regards to G5 sound, original G5 sound recordings exist in the form of Transacord. However I do not know who has or owns the copyright. For many years I have used the YouChoos Class J15 sound files for my four O gauge locos plus a D20. YouChoos have developed a new specific G5 sound file, these will be my source for the three TMC G5’s which I have on preorder. I have no connection with YouChoos other than being an extremely satisfied customer. Regards Alan 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Great to see these are on their way to TMC I am looking forward to my LNER lined and with sound. I do wonder if "we" could convince Rapido to do the auto carriages that went with them in either clerestory or standard roofed versions. I have a once complete with another under construction for my G6... but they are in P4.... I will suggest the the wish pole team to add both versions for the next pole! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, either the iconic clerestory vehicles (which I suspect would be the sensible option as more people would be inclined to buy the prettier options) or the arc roofed coaches. I'd be surprised if Bachmann hadn't been looking into them while developing the G5, on the quiet as they do now. Once the G5s start arriving, the following quarterly announcement would be the ideal place for them to materialise. I'd be fine with any of the RTR companies producing them to be fair, as they all seem to do pretty well with high end coaching stock. I've got a D&S third clerestory to finish, and a few Kirk Gresley non-corridor carriages to make a reasonable rake for my forthcoming LNER liveried loco, but could definitely be tempted by an NER one if some of the ornate pre grouping stock were to appear, as I don't think that my skills are up to that!

Happy to be corrected, but as far as I'm aware, the clerestory autocoach (diagram 116) were unique to BTP (G6) tanks. The G5's were converted to push pull in the mid to late 1930's when the Sentinel Railcars were withdrawn and ex NER elliptical coaches were converted and these were unique to the G5's.

The later elliptical roofed types would suit more layouts as they lasted pretty much as long as the G5s themselves. They are very easy to find in photos of local services in the 1950s, well after the clerestories had dwindled away. Some were later converted to auto trailers. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium D5158 Posted May 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 21, 2023 Diagram 116’s we’re still running around the Whitby area in the 50’s. P/P equipment removed.

DougN Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I suspect that by the time my loco arrives... the magazine will follow here in Australia! Back to what D5158 was saying that was my understanding as well. They would have been looking very scruffy and run down by the 1950's. I have been onto the Poll team (Ok one of the members is a good friend of mine) who said the list will include Diags 146,162, 213 of 1938. I can see that Dia 162 (Arc Roofed version) would be more appropriate for the G5. I am still looking forward to having one running around on my layout in time.

tmc Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The wait is nearly over, a very small consignment was sent by air last month and all is good, in fact all is very good in our opinion! As advised a few weeks back they are arriving on two containers so we anticipate that the first batch will land in our warehouse in last week of June and then we will commence despatch of pre-orders. As soon as we know they are on the way to us we will start requesting payment. As they are arriving in two batches, and the second isn’t expected to be with us until mid July, if a pre-order includes models in both batches a payment request will be made for each batch but a customer can opt to delay until the order is complete. Please note that pre-orders made through the website will be sent post free in line with our current offer of website orders over £100 being post free, so if you have for example two locos on order, one from each batch, both will be sent post free. The models arriving in the first batch are:- 35-250Z NER Lined Green no 2093 with Westinghouse Pump, Coal Rail Bunker and Ramsbottom Safety Valve [Smokebox door handles] 35-251Z NER Lined Green no 1759 with Westinghouse Pump, Coal Rail Bunker and Ramsbottom Safety Valve [Smokebox door wheel] 35-252Z/ZSF LNER Lined Black no 1752 with Westinghouse Pump, Cage Bunker and Ramsbottom Safety Valve [Smokebox door wheel] 35-253Z/ZSF LNER Lined Black no 2082 with Push/Pull apparatus, Cage Bunker and Ross Pop Safety Valve [Smokebox door handles] 35-254Z BR Early Crest Lined Black no 67263 with Cage Bunker and Ross Pop Safety Valve 35-255Z/ZSF BR Early Crest Lined Black no 67342 with Westinghouse Pump, Hopper Bunker and Ross Pop Safety Valve 35-256ZSF BR Early Crest Lined Black no 67282 with Push/Pull apparatus, Hopper Bunker and Ross Pop Safety Valve The remaining models 35-250ZSF, 35-251ZSF, 35-254ZSF and 35-256Z are expected mid July along with:- 35-259Z/ZSF BR Late Crest no 67261 with Push/Pull apparatus, Cage Bunker and Ross Pop Safety Valve TMC will donate £15 for each sale of 35-251Z to G5 Locomotive Company to assist with the new build. Our usual weathering and other customisation services will be available, full details on our website. A few photographs of the production models will follow shortly.

Happy either way as I’m not bothered about sound. They only seem to be DCC ready or sound fitted on the website, there’s no DCC basic chip option. Basically the sound version is an extra £100 which is a good price. Ah in the menu you can pick a standard non sound chip for £45 or upgrade to other sound files for £180. so in theory there is, Dcc ready £180-190 Dcc standard chip £ £225-£235 Dcc sound factory fit £280-289 Dcc sound with custom choice £360-370?
