*** Yellow... The "Andy Capp" Special repaint of the compound? Sort of Thomas with attitude in prototype form. (actually a sad sight for such a nice loco)
Problem with the compound is one isn't enough... They were frequently double headed. Roll on the LMS versions! Richard QUOTE (7113 @ 5 Oct 2011, 20:37) A yellow(ish) one  Regards --------------------  Direct honest advice from DCC & Modelling experts Ph +61 8 9437 2470 or sales@dccconcepts.com |

  PRESS RELEASE Midland Compound becomes third “Exclusive” model locomotive for National Railway Museum Bachmann Europe Plc and the National Railway Museum have teamed up again to produce the third “Exclusive” model – this time featuring the Midland Railway 4-4-0 Compound locomotive No. 1000. This locomotive was preserved in 1951 and is currently on loan for 3 years to The Scottish Railway Museum at Bo’ness. The first model produced in 2007 featured the iconic Prototype DP1 Deltic diesel locomotive (32-520) which was followed in 2009 by the Great Western 4-4-0 ‘City of Truro’ locomotive (31-725NRM). No.1000 the Midland Compound was one of a Class that eventually totalled 45 locomotives. The first 5 to the design of S.W. Johnson were built in 1902. Deeley, Johnson’s successor built a further 40 locomotives between 1905 and 1909 to his own design. This resulted in the original five locomotives being rebuilt to the same design, No. 1000 receiving attention in 1914. The Class saw service with the London, Midland & Scottish Railway from 1923 – 1948 who went on to build a further 195 examples to a slightly different design. No. 1000 was withdrawn from traffic in 1951 and set aside for preservation. It was restored at Derby Works in 1959 where it regained Midland Railway livery. This locomotive is currently non operational and recently moved from the Severn Valley Railway to the Scottish Railway Museum at Bo’ness where it is on static display. The standard model is available from 11 October at £140 (2500 pieces). The exclusive edition will be available from November which includes a Platinum box, with an acrylic plinth and numbered certificate at £170 (500 pieces) .The model is produced exclusively for the National Railway Museum and will only be available through the NRM at York and Locomotion, Shildon (whilst stocks last) or on-line from www.nrmshop.co.uk (Customer Services telephone 0151 650 6062 open 8am to 8pm to Christmas, then from 10am to 4pm afterwards) Graham Hubbard, Managing Director of Bachmann Europe Plc said: “We are delighted to be able to produce another of the iconic locomotives from the National Collection. We feel sure its arrival will be welcomed by many modellers.” Steve Davies, Director of the National Railway Museum, said: “We are really pleased to have produced another quality product through our partnership with Bachmann and we hope the Midland Railway 4-4-0 Compound locomotive No. 1000 will match the success of previous models which have been extremely popular with collectors and modellers. We’re also thrilled to be selling the models exclusively from our Museum shops and online store as every purchase will support the National Railway Museum in its vital work in preserving the National Collection. Each sale will support the NRM in its vital work in preserving Britain’s railway heritage, and providing public access to the national collections. -------------------- |

I am a huge fan of the compound, and will be ordering one. How is the exclusive likely to work? Will Bachmann be free to release as many versions as they like so long as they leave the Midland 1000 to the NRM?

They only plus side of doing a compound is it's saved my wallet getting a hammering. I just hope it sells in sufficient numbers for the NRM to keep on doing the specials. COT and the GCR 8K have hardly shout out the door like DP1 did. Fingers crossed for a D11 next

QUOTE (80class) I am a huge fan of the compound, and will be ordering one. How is the exclusive likely to work? Will Bachmann be free to release as many versions as they like so long as they leave the Midland 1000 to the NRM? As I understood what was said in the conference, The body moulding is NRM exclusive so the NRM can do it in whatever livery they wish but it will only be sold through the NRM. Again as I understand it, bachmann cannot use this moulding in their own range. I dont know what would happen for example if they wanted to use the cab on another loco or something like that... or which piece/pieces constitute the "body moulding" I really should have asked about that in better detail.

*** Way less than perfect to be sure, like many of the Midlands efforts, but not a bad looker for a small loco and pretty well essential for any LMS/Midland layout. At least they weren't green :-) :-) :-).

QUOTE not a bad looker for a small loco I've always had the impression that the NRM has a soft spot for 1000. For me, it has always been one of the more memorable locos in the collection. So given that the NRM has an exclusive on the body, what other bodies could Bachmann make to go on top of that 4-4-0 chassis? David -------------------- |
