Andy Y Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Bachmann 2018/19 RELEASESBachmann Europe has announced its 2018/19 programme and released its new catalogues covering the Bachmann Branchline (OO and OO9 Scales) and Graham Farish (N Scale) ranges at a Trade Event held near Birmingham today.New Tooling – Graham Farish (N Scale) Steam LocomotivesSR N Class (REVISED TOOLING)The popular N class model by Graham Farish has seen revisions to the tender tooling to provide a Next 18 DCC decoder socket and space for Digital Sound to be fitted. This year sees the much requested southern livery fitted with smoke deflectors for the first time.372-934DS N Class No. 1823 in Southern Railway Lined Maunsell Green (DCC Sound)Revised Tender Tooling to enable Digital Sound fitting – factory fitted to this model.

During the 1990s a number of class 47/4s were fitted with long range fuel tanks and RCH jumper cables for working mail and parcels trains, becoming class 47/7. Those locomotives fitted with just the extended fuel tanks for passenger work become class 47/8. We will be producing these locomotives for the first time with a ‘Crewe cut’ buffer beam 372-260 Class 47 No. 47814 'Totnes Castle' in Virgin liveryNew Body Tooling and Revised Chassis Tooling incorporating Next18 DCC decoder socket and pre-fitted speaker for ease of Digital Sound installation372-261DS Class 47 No. 47727 'Rebecca' in Colas livery (DCC Sound)New Body Tooling and Revised Chassis Tooling to enable Digital Sound fitting – factory fitted to this model. Diesel Multiple UnitsClass 251 Western Pullman (REVISED TOOLING TO CAB FRONT) Metropolitan Cammell (Birmingham) built 2 x six-car Pullman Diesel Multiple Units (TOPS code Class 251) between 1959 and 1960. The two six-car units worked between London St. Pancras and Manchester on the Blue Pullman service. Following electrification of the West Coast Main Line, Pullman services between London and Manchester transferred to the new electric railway for which new coaches were built. The two units were transferred to the Western Region in 1966 where they worked alongside 3 x eight-car units. The former Midland Region units were fitted with cables on the cab front to enable the two units to be coupled together and they received a revised BR livery adopted for Pullman services of grey and blue (reversed corporate livery). All Class 251 units were withdrawn in May 1973. 371-742 Western Pullman 6-Car Unit in Grey/ Blue British Rail Pullman liveryRevised Tooling to allow the later Western Region version of the 6-car former Blue Pullman unit to be modelled, as working on the Western Region of British Rail (1966 to 1973) Class 158165 x two-car and 17 x three-car units were built between 1989 and 1992 for the Regional Railways division of British Rail by British Rail Engineering Ltd at Derby. They have seen service with a considerable number of operators including current operators Abellio ScotRail, Arriva Trains Wales, East Midlands Trains, GWR, Northern and South Western Railway. This will be an all new model benefitting from our research conducted on the 4mm scale model.Photo by Malcolm Best371-850 Class 158 2-Car DMU No. 158849 in Regional Railways liveryNew Tooling371-851 Class 158 2-Car DMU No. 158711 in ScotRail (Saltire) livery New Tooling Electric Multiple UnitsClass 450 The Class 450 is a member of the Siemens Desiro family for which Graham Farish already produce the Class 350 variants.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2018 Thanks Andy. The 158 is good news, the old model being in desperate need of replacement. Pleased to see the 450 appear in N gauge also. I am surprised by the lack of a new tool steam engine this year however. Is this the first time since Bachmann took over the Farish range? I'm happy to see existing tooling being revised to accommodate sound, what would seem to be a sensible move given the apparent popularity of the recent sound fitted models, although for steam I would perhaps have expected to see one of the larger engines get the treatment over the N Class. That said, one will probably find its way onto the pre-order list. Overall, as expected given past years announcements. Tom. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47475 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Railfeight grey 47018 is a very nice addition. There should be a good few renumbering opportunities there. I would have liked to have seen more coach liveries such as MK2s in Provincial/Regional Railways and ScotRail, as well as more BG and GUV liveries from the same era. What about MK2 Aircons and DBSOs? Are they not on the list because they were announced previously, or off the 2018 radar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2018 Some of the buildings look interesting, I'll consider a red stripe 20 and a 158 although I don't expect the latter will surface until after the OO one which seems to be in what Hollywood call 'Development Hell' and has been for years. Presumably like the OO versions, a retooled 170 and 171 is also on the cards for 2019? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr chapman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hmmm... Well I was right about the southern green N with elephant ears. Didn't think it would get a retool within two years though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not on the list because they were announced previously, or off the 2018 radar? Ok, while my disappointment expressed in the other thread on this subject still stands, picking through the bones of this full list of releases there are at least a few things I might be interested in. The green Next 18 Class 31 with speaker will be welcome for starters alongside the Late Crest J72. I am a little confused though, the J72 was in last year's announcements, and is repeated here for 2018/19 whereas 8F, C Class and Thompson coaches do not feature in the list, does this mean they are not expected in the 2018/19 timeframe or is there another reason?

Roy Although the catalogue numbers correspond, the J72 liveries and numbers are completely different. Suspect there is some need for careful comparisons with last year’s list for several items. It will play havoc with the pre-orders! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmthtrains - David Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 The prices are rather alarming - I'm glad I purchased so much stock when I could afford it over the past 15 years, £230 from Hattons for a 350 and £180 for a 158....surely these prices are just not sustainable.

ash39 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes, I'll be interested in a TPE 350 but not a chance at that price. They'll drop over time. Anyone know if its the obsolete purple livery or the new silver one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1023 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Bitterly disappointed that once again Farish are not offering an alternate EMU to go with the CEP. Gobsmacked at the prospect of two further Desiro EMUs to add to the ones that haven't sold already. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portpatrick Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 AS I have commented on the N Gauge Forum. Nothing for me in this lot. I have a full fleet of DMUs for Allanbrae, my new contemporary Scottish terminus. Hoping the Crowd Funded 320 in Saltire will make it to production - deposit paid. And looking forward to the DJM Clayton as well for my 50s/60s layout. Meanwhile can Farish please prioritise the earlier promises - notably the Thompson coaches - I want 3 or 4 .

Tin Turtle Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Very glad the J72 will be available in NER livery, as the Dapol announced version was going to be and lack of this originally announced was a bit of a disappointment.

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2018 Some odd choices there. virgin 47/8 why not an IC one to go with the forthcoming IC Mk2 air cons? sound fitting the Colas 47...really? I suppose it will shift a limited Livery version. Still no second issue blue grey Mk1 FK. Overall a cheap year for me, nothing of interest today apart from 47018.

RMweb Premium Kris Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2018 Shame that the sound Castle set has Pullman coaches (but not surprising given the name). Bachmann really should have put this with some of their fantastic Hawksworths and called it the Riviera, Bristolian etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2018 Further to the sound sets, it will be interesting to see what controller these are packaged with, especially as the ez controller will not allow access to all of the sound functions.

Roy L S Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Following my initial expression of disappointment it is good to note that 8F and Thompsons are now in the drawing office working up towards CADs. Hopefully as the NGS Thompson BG is already here and R&D done for the 00 models it shouldn't take long for CADs to be finalised and tooling to start. C Class at EP stage already is good news. A BR or possibly even a SE&CR one may be a rare "Rule 1" purchase. J72 is still at the research stage. It was announced last year so clearly hasn't got very far. Still there are other things to look forward to like the NGS Hunslets, DJM Claytons and whatever RevolutioN has up their sleeves to follow the Class B tanks, so looking at the bigger picture, on reflection it could be worse.
