00 gauge LSWR T3 model announcement by Bachmann at Swanage 7th Sept 2024

[@Scottish-Exile]

Well captured. I was there on Saturday and this announcement brightened an otherwise gloomy wet day.

[@CaseyJonesNumber1]

Sounds like you've run all the way from the station to see the train at the crossing! 😄

[@MrTimDunn]

I did exactly that!

[@MrTimDunn]

Now, I don’t know Sam but I am aware of his videos and he seems a nice chap. But I’m not quite sure what your comment relates to.

[@DangerAngelous]

I have to see this when I go to the UK next year!!!

[@DonningtonCastleModelRailway]

Thanks for braving the weather, always nice to see a fabulous prototype when a model is announced. Seeing Corfe castle also reminded me I’ve not been there since the day England were knocked out of the 82 World Cup. Think I’m overdue a visit.

It’s always sunny in Purbeck so the rain must be an optical illusion.

[@ph4ntomtr4in]

I rode on 563 today. The views from Corfe Castle are incredible as well.

Can't wait to get model of it been ask four last 4 years great to been get one. Is one of favioutre train of all time. Help there do swanaege version. Normally only get one train But with this may get two. One in bedroom and one layout. Great to meet on brakevan.

Somehow people predicted a model of the T3 would be upcoming. I have several Hornby LSWR coaches and I’m in need of a loco to pull them, so this’ll solve that problem. Shame it can’t be in the National Collection In Miniature range, but hopefully 563 will be available in both of its preserved liveries, even if I’ll just buy the Mint and Chocolate version.

Surely one of the most elegant of design of all , finest Victorian engineering ,

[@Stellarvessel1]

Will it be limited edition or become a regular production?

[@MrTimDunn]

I’m always wary of “limited edition” banners because everything is limited, really. :) There’ll be a few different liveries - I presume in fairly substantial quantities for the first run, but maybe alternative liveries or numbers will be made later on in limited quantities. You’ll have to ask the company direct for confirmation though - as my comment is purely conjecture.

[@GrahamMuz]

It will be part of the main EFE Rail range in a variety of liveries and not a limited edition

[@IowaTrainGay]

Wonder if these will be available outside the UK....

[@GrahamMuz]

It will be available from all Bachmann retailers, and many including Kernow Model Rail Centre ship orders outside the UK on a regular basis.

[@ethanspaziani1070]

Sam's trains already beat them to it

[@GrahamMuz]

Except he doesn't produce RTR models, so he hasn't.
