Andy Y Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Images to follow: Railfreight Sectorisation 30th Anniversary celebrated by Bachmann in 2017 Last year we celebrated 30 years of Network SouthEast and this year (2017) sees the 30th Anniversary of the creation of the Railfreight Sectors. We are celebrating the 30th anniversary of another popular BR sector livery in 2017. In October 1987, the Railfreight brand was relaunched with a bold new colour scheme combining three-tone grey paintwork with colourful sector symbols and imaginative depot plaques. It remains a firm favourite with modellers to this day and we’ve compiled a representative collection of Railfreight locomotives and matching freight wagons to mark this milestone. These items are highlighted with a ‘RF 30 YEARS’ symbol throughout the catalogue. New Tooling – Bachmann Branchline (OO Scale) Midland Class 1532 (1P) - One Hundred and fifteen of these and the similar 1823 and 1833 Classes lightweight passenger tanks were built for the Midland Railway from 1881 to 1900 by Derby Works, Dübs & Co. and Neilson. All passed to the LMS in 1923 and although withdrawals started as early as 1930, the final locomotive was not retired by BR until 1959. They were distributed widely across the former MR and S&DJR system from North Yorkshire and the Midlands to the South West and London, where certain locomotives had condensing gear for working through Metropolitan Railway tunnels. The model features a ‘Next18’ DCC decoder interface with provision for DCC sound, round-topped or Belpaire firebox boilers and prototypical detail variations according to livery and era. 31-740 Midland Railway 1532 Class 0-4-4 No. 1273 in Midland Railway Crimson livery 31-741 Midland Railway 1532 Class (1P) 0-4-4 No. 1303 in LMS Black livery 31-742 Midland Railway 1532 Class (1P) 0-4-4 No. 58072 in BR Lined Black livery with Early Emblem Class 20/3 DRS had 10 Class 20's rebuilt by Wabtec between 1998 and 1999. These locos had plated cab and nose ends with Wipac lights fitted and increased fuel capacity with tanks in front of the cab and in the nose. Multiple Unit connectors were added to the ends allowing operation with other Class 20/3 locomotives. The Class 20/3 models feature working head and tail lights, working cab lights and sprung buffers. 35-125 Class 20/3 No. 20306 in DRS Blue livery 35-126 Class 20/3 No. 20311 in Harry Needle Railroad Company yellow livery 35-127 Class 20/3 No. 20312 in Direct Rail Services Compass livery CLASS 410 (4BEP) EMU The Class 410 (or 4BEP) electrical multiple units (7003 to 7012) were delivered from Eastleigh works in 1958/59. The 4BEP was conceived alongside the existing 4CEP to provide buffet accommodation and were often to be found as the centre 4 coaches in a 12 car formation between two 4CEP units, but could also be found running singularly or paired with a single 4CEP. The models feature full underfloor equipment, dedicated coupling system, internal lighting and illuminated train head code boxes. 31-490 4 BEP 4 Car EMU No. 7003in BR Green livery with Small Yellow Panel 31-491 Class 410 4 Car EMU No. 7010 in BR Blue & Grey livery Carflat A new addition to our range this year is the distinctive BR MK1 ‘Carflat’ wagon which were converted from redundant passenger coaches in the 1960s to carry cars – both new from the factory and on long-distance ‘Motorail’ services. The BR blue ‘Carflats’ will be loaded with period vehicles to complete the authentic effect. 38-900 BR Mk1 Carflat Wagon in BR Bauxite livery 38-901 BR Mk1 Carflat Wagon in BR Blue livery with 4 Vans 38-902 BR Mk1 Carflat Wagon BR Blue Motorail livery with 4 Cars VEA Vanwide ventilated van The VEA ‘Vanwide’ 12T ventilated vans were rebuilt and modernised for military traffic in the late-1970s.

This is a mainstream catalogue item. The locomotive has just been extensively overhauled and modified for the latest chapter in its working life with Colas working on the Main Line. As part of these works, a change had to be made to the headlight position on the nose (something that we will replicate on our tooling) and it was out-shopped in the latest Colas livery proudly carrying its unique tribute to Merl. A donation will be made from the sale of each model towards LOROS, the chosen charity of Merl’s family. LOROS provides hospice care in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and further details can be found at www.loros.co.uk. 32-789 Class 37/0 No. 37099 "Merl Evans" in Colas livery with Split Headcode Porthole coaches will be available in BR maroon livery for the first time. 39-456 LMS 57 ft Porthole Corridor 1st in BR Maroon livery 39-476 LMS 60 ft Porthole Open Vestibule in BR Maroon livery 39-466 LMS 60 ft Porthole Corridor Composite in BR Maroon livery 39-451 LMS 57 ft Porthole Corridor 2nd in BR Maroon livery 39-471 LMS 60 ft Porthole Corridor Brake 1st in BR Maroon livery 39-461 LMS 57 ft Porthole Corridor Brake 2nd in BR Maroon livery Vulcan Train Pack (OO & N Scales) 2007 saw the return to the skies of the only air-worthy Vulcan Bomber following two years of restoration by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust. XH558 delighted aviation enthusiasts at air displays around the country before being permanently grounded at the end of 2015. In 2016 a unique relationship was formed between DRS and the Trust, which culminated in the naming of a Class 37 locomotive (37424 built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows by English Electric) as 37558 ‘Avro Vulcan XH558’. To celebrate the synergy between these two outstanding examples of British innovation and engineering prowess from the late 1950’s, we are proud to produce this special collector’s edition pack which will be sure to delight railway and aviation enthusiasts alike.

GWR8700 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Haven't had a proper look through yet but seen the Midland 1P. Yes! Great News, wasn't expecting that because much of the back catalogue is still awaiting production. Nice one Bachmann! I like that there's provision for Belpaire and Round Topped fireboxes too. Should hopefully be a fantastic model. I hope they announce some suitable to coaches to compliment it in the future.

centraltrains Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Ooh! Interesting. Overjoyed to see a new class 150 livery (and a good one at that!) and to hear the class 450s are finally coming soon! Not impressed at no updates for the 166s. The Scenecraft buildings with lights sound interesting... Any news on price increases? Edited January 8, 2017 by centraltrains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2017 GWR tailgate chassis upgrade? Am I missing something? VEA... I'm sticking with my Parkside and if any goes on about the Bachman model being better than the kit or 'but I can't stick things together' be prepared to have your modelling credentials questioned The 1P will be a challenge with such a small boiler ... but it will be worth it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Good to see a new BR Black Hall, and the Class 66 Evening Star. Shame there is still no new Manor though. The Scenecraft buildings with lights sound good. Will be interesting to see how they power them. I assume it will be with the Woodlands Scenics range.

The Bank Manager is delighted he sends his thanks as do I. edit Bachmann B1 No 1264 31-717 is a rehash of the old issue B1, now with the new chassis and the old body wow !!! sadly the new body for the V2 is no further forward either !!

RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 Predicted correctly models celebrating the 30th anniversary of Railfreight's sectorisation would appear, and a 150/2 in GWR livery. I suspected an unrefurbished 4BEP would eventually appear, however to clarify matters, they also ran solo to/from Portsmouth Harbour, as portions off London Victoria-Bognor services. The VEA will fill a huge gap for those wanting to model MoD workings in the 70s and 80s. Interestingly, the class 205s are now part of their main range. The 1P 0-4-4T will allow more authenticity to Midland branch and secondary line operations, particularly during the pre-group and LMS eras. Who knows, the early Stanier 0-4-4Ts could one day become available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

locoholic Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Really looking forward to the Midland 1P. Lots of other stuff for me, too. Intrigued to see what the Scenecraft March station items will look like, as it's quite a big station, so it might need some scaling down. Bit surprised there are no new Class 40s, and hardly any new steam era wagons. Thanks for posting the info. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted January 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) "RF 30 YEARS"???? Sorry, but that was in 1981. Now that Bachmann has taken over EFE they should know that... March, Downham Market and Weybourne Scenencraft items. All Eastern/East Anglia so relatively near to Barwell. Has Bachmann imposed a travel budget on its designers this year :-) More seriously, thanks for the list Andy. Some good things and not too overambitious, but which Carflat to go for...
