Bachmann USA Thomas 2019

[PaulRhB]

From the NY Toyfair, I know some will be interested in the new N range and others for useful chassis. Nothing new for 009 but the 2018 list is still to arrive so I guess consolidation like the UK arm.

I imagine that the N gauge Percy will be of interest to those whose choice of scale and gauge is 009 or HOe.

Are the 'HO' models really 1:87, or actually 1:76 (but still called HO so as not to confuse US buyers)?

We stock the Bachmann usa Thomas range and the models are mainly old mainline toolings and some new toolings. They are OO but marketed as HO in America. The cattle wagon in the Thomas range is identical to Bachmann UK version, height, length etc, just without NEM couplings and less detailed. Hope this helps. Andy

Nothing new for 009 or large scale (g scale) announced so perhaps consolidation as suggested

 

It”s the 75th anniversary next year of the first books being publish so perhaps there will be some more exciting news in 2020

The red and blue & cream narrow gauge coaches were shown in the catalogue as new. I’m not sure when they were announced though. 

[SomethingTrainLover]

They were announced as part of the 2018 range I believe, and they’ve been on the Bachmann shop site for a few weeks. Given the pics used, looks like they’ll both be based on TR’s Coach No.4, while it had been hoped the Blue coach would be No.4 and the Red coaches could be based on 1 and 2, this seems unlikely. They’ve been announced as costing $39 from Bachmann, so I expect they’ll be marked down at least a little bit from retailers. So if the rolling stock follows the current NG rolling stock made for the range, it should be quite good. No word on when they’re supposed to be released, was hoped the 2019 catalogue would have pics of them so we could see what they look like but no luck sadly. They have updated the Rusty model a bit, filled in the big gap on the top of the bodywork, so should be a bit better for those modeling any larger Rustons or any freelance diesels.

 

New images have been released of the new Rosie model and rolling stock for “HO”, though I doubt anyone here would be particularly interested.

 

The N scale range is in the catalog, but stock images from the HO range have been used. So there’s a likely chance of them making these models from scratch, though I also wouldn’t be surprised if these new N scale models were rebranded Tomix models, course this is just hypothetical. We’ll just have to wait and see. Either way, be nice to have the Tomix models be more readily available, and equally nice to have new chassis for 009 use, cough Percy cough.
