Bachmann 45 Comments

The nose is still too short though.....

The new Graham Farish model looks more like a 45 than its bigger brother. I'd like someone from Bachmann to explain that?

Modelzone are advertised a retooled 46 to be available later this year so it'll be interesting to see what corrections it incorporates.

It's at my standard height so I was happy, and it matches their coaches and wagons. Couplers at H0 height on 00 models look wrong to me.

Doesn't need to, 8 pickups are enough.

Not even as powerful as a Bachmann 24 on my hill. Main reason being that there are 4 undriven but sprung axles carrying some of the weight that should be on driven axles. Try it with the undriven axles temporarily removed.

Better in the bodywork certainly, but the bogie springs and axleboxes have less relief, I prefer the earlier ones. Keith

Make friends in the hobby. Visit Garratt photos for the big steam lovers.

If you notice the plug in tension hook coupler it has a step down from the pocket to achieve the correct height for tension hook coupler height. Must be a good reason why they went to all the trouble of making a special plug in coupler just for the peaks and maybe the 40 as well.
