There is now a photo of the Fairburn 2-6-4T on the Bachman website
Apologies if this has already been posted.

Want mine NOW! Looks fabulous, and a credit to the Bachmann designers!

Oh b****r. Not only do I need to save up for my Ivatt, some new coaches, now I have to save up for the Fairburn too.
Bad timing, Bachmann.... Unless they get it out just before mid-January so I can have it for my birthday ;-)

I think it may be a little bit later than that.

As an aside I have a photograph of the other Lakeside & Haverthwaite Fairburn 2-6-4T No 42085 in store at Carnforth on 16th June 1968 (copy available on request) clearly showing that this loco was still carrying the BR early crest at that late date.
I'd be interested to know whether sister loco 42073 actually received the BR coat-of-arms (late crest) during its British Railways operational career.
John.
I'll wait. But only until an early crest version comes out...! :-)
That gives us a Fowler from Hornby, a Fairburn and a BR Standard from Bachmann. All we need is a Stanier to complete the RTR set. However, I have an Alan Gibson kit in my stash...
John, Post it at Alt.binaries.pictures.rail anyway so we can see it anyway :-)

The Fairburn looks lovely. However, the proportions of the 9F look distorted. Is it an artist's impression, or photo of a first test shot from Bachmann's tooling?

I have a photo of a 9f taken from almost the same angle. The Bachmann one looks spot on to me!
