But if you think about it the eHattons website sell Bachmann's Sound 37 for £154 or £155 so its not that much more expensive than the standard ones with the 10% off.

P.S. It would probably be even more expensive to fit sound later because Howes sound chips are £117 alone and on top of that you have got to get the 37 (eHattons £61-4)

Still expensive though ;) Although a sound 37 would be lush!

I want the sound one for my B'day in October. I am a subscriber so it is only £161.99 :) :) :)

i have more than enough to purchase it but i already have the rail exppress DRS twin pack : (

[Javelin395]

I'm also wanting to get it, but funds atm aren't that good. If it's still available in October, then I will get one :D

Noticed that the Bachmann / Model Rail Ltd Edition DRS 37409 is now available to preorder on the website :)

Prices are £85.00 for non-sound version and £179.99 for sound version.

Links below :-

Non-sound version

Sound version

Looks good and an even better price when you apply the subscribers discount lol

Anyone else getting one ?

Quite agree with you on both points ! I expect there will be some who buy them and put them on a well known auction site to make a profit.

Yes indeed there will be the usual bad eggs out to make a quick quid like with every ltd edition model they getem an throw em on straight away its becoming a joke and more are doing it two nowadays!

On the 37 thats expensive and for a basic blue livery i'm quite pleased i spray my own and don't model up to date aswell! I won't pay more than 130.00 for any sound chipped loco unless it howes howes sound fitted or similar if standard then 13.00 is more than enough think the cheapest i got a sound 37 for was 83.00 quid last year:)

[Javelin395]

Thats an amazing price for a sound loco! What was it Jon?

[CrownStreetTMD]

I should have mine by tomorrow as it came today but my Dad was out so is sitting in a Post Office depot.

[CrownStreetTMD]

Mine is now sat idling away as I do my homework. I have to say the sound is very good. One slight issue is I have not found the etched name plates that were supposed to come with it and I have had a good look where I opened it and haven't seen them so looks like I will have to order some nameplates off somewhere.

[Javelin395]

Excellent! Saw the loco on the turntable display thingy at the Model Rail stand at Warley today, and I have to say, good job Bachmann!

Shawplan have the plates 4 sale if you still haven't found them?

[CrownStreetTMD]

Bachmann hadn't put the plates in with the DCC Sound version so I got them today when I got back as they had been sent separately.
