User blog:Sir Ralph Wedgewood II/NEW! Bachmann Tornado in BR Brunswick Green

''“NEW! Bachmann Tornado in BR Brunswick Green” '' ==TUESDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2011 == == == ==In my previous review of the Hornby Special Edition Tornado and the Bachmann Tornado in Apple Green, I was impressed with the overall quality of the mechanism, and the accuracy of both models. == ==The Bachmann Tornado in Brunswick Green has been released for some time and I finally I was able to order it. == ==I’ll do another review with the Bachmann Tornado and Hornby Tornado-Special Edition in BR Brunswick Green.  == ==  == ''

The first thing which strikes me when viewing the model is its paint colour. The shade of green is excellently done and it proudly replicates the shade. Unlike the previous model in Apple Green the shade is now a new tooling.

Looking at my own footage of Tornado, where the shade changes dependent on light source in any event, it's up to the individual to feel if the model gets the shade of green spot on.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">In contrast, the red lining along the frames and running plate of engine and tender are similar shades, but differently applied. The Bachmann model has this elaborate lining applied slightly wider, and the result is that the red appears much brighter. A quick glance at a photograph of the real thing, and it seems as if the models lining appears bigger as a result.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The red/black/red lining out on the locomotives and their tenders follows a similar pattern. Bachmann's lining out is marginally wide and the red of the lining out appears brighter as a result. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#282828">

This is particularly noticeable on the cab and tender sides of the Bachmann model.

The nameplates and commemorative plaques on the smoke deflectors and frames are neatly applied on both, but the lighter shade of the â€œbrassâ€ <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> colour used for the nameplates is not too good on the model, making the nameplate more faded as a result.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">A fine etched brass works nameplates is provided in the detailing pack if you want to make it more legible.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The size of the <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">numbers on the model appears to be over scale. The early crest is neatly applied and stands out perfectly.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-no-proof:yes"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The works plates and RA9 numerals on the model is well applied and legible and the plug on the lower part of the model is crisply moulded too.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">On the tender the builder’s plaque and dials on the cabinets are excellently reproduced on the model. The model does not acquire the extra warning flashes on the rear of the tender as on the real Tornado.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The smoke box door of the model is very convincing; the shade of silver for the smoke box door straps, handrail and dart are crisply applied. The upper lamp bracket is a separately fitted item.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The model has the upper hand with the distinctive chime whistle, which is a separate item and painted in gold shade.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The model has several separately fitted details which is good because sometimes the parts can fall apart while shipped.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The shape and size of the buffer beam is neatly applied. It however looks more rectangular. At the edge of the beams is supposed to have diagonals nailed but the entire buffer beam is squeamishly straight including the edges. However it has a trump card up its sleeve.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> The model has the red paint applied slightly bigger and as a result making the red brighter as a result which captures the overall look of the real 60163 Tornado.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span style="font-size:15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";color:#282828;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">  <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">It also has the upper hand with sprung metal buffers, picked out in “bolt gun metal silver”. The heads are springy and perfectly applied. <span style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">This was the first modification I made to my Railroad Tornado model, as seen here in its new guise as 60163 when first completed at Darlington works. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The piping around the smoke box area <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">â€“ <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">is portrayed by the model therefore looking inaccurate in this respect to the real Tornado.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The valve gear is fine on the model although the connecting rods and coupling rods are chunkier. This is a perfect representation of Tornado’s motion.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">This in stark contrast to the cylinders the Bachmann model’s is nicely moulded and shorter in length.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">Curiously there are two holes for attaching the cylinder drain cocks and once again they are provided in the detailing pack and are painted in gold shade.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The handrails on the cab, tender and smoke deflectors are all separately fitted as well as those on the boiler. The deflectors are shorter. From delving into my photographs it seems as if the deflectors are slightly too short in length.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">In a similar fashion in the cab of the Bachmann model  which has many separately fitted detail, including glazing on the cab spectacles and side windows, and separately fitted handrails, but the cab roof (as to be expected) is a representation of the original Peppercorn A1s and not reflective to Tornado’s different roof profile.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The whistle on the Bachmann A1 is on the correct side of the cab (leaving a hole for placement of a whistle in the original design specification), but is mounted too high, and too close to the safety valves.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

The model features the cabinets under the bucket seats in the cab, as on the real Tornado. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#282828">

Bachmann's Tornado features a lovely etched metal fall plate, and cab doors too, as part of its detailing pack. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The stovepipe chimney on the model is in two parts, with the top half allowing a switch between stovepipe and rimmed chimneys, and to be frank, this arrangement doesn't look particularly convincing for either Tornado or the original locomotives this tooling has portrayed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#282828"> On the boiler, the Bachmann Tornado's washout plugs are not particularly well moulded, although the overall quality of the moulding and its paint finish is excellent. The lower handrail is separately fitted.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The tender body is well moulded, but the Bachmann model edges out with its separately fitted details on the tender footplate, and with its standard fitted handrails. The printing of the dials and other painted detail is superior on the tender as a whole. It is a good thing that, like on the front buffer beam, the tender buffers are sprung metal as part of the frames.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The Bachmann tender is a good representation of the real thing. The only thing missing is the lack of roller bearing axle boxes throughout, and there is a significant difference in â€œlookâ when compared to the prototype.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0in;line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2;background:white; mso-background-themecolor:background1"><span style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#282828; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-no-proof:yes"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(40,40,40);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15.0pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#282828;background:white">Finally, the model is equipped with NEM pockets, allowing for changeover of couplings from tension lock to kadees if required (as demonstrated on the tenders). <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:15.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"; color:#282828">

Overall, the model is impressive in its own rights, for different reasons. The attention to detail of the Bachmann Tornado by far is quite appealing; in contrast, the separately fitted detail of the Bachmann model is vast.

The decision to buy one will come down to, I think, price - the recommended retail price for the Bachmann Tornado in BR Brunswick Green is £150.60. I would come out with the conclusion that this model is better than Bachmann’s Apple Green model of Tornado as the numbers of unmatched prototypical features is lesser.
