Ian Stewart Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Whisky Covhops, oh joy! But wait a minute, 33 codes, surely not the unimproved tooling. I need a wee dram, but more £s to spend with ? or ?, but not Bachmann. Ian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyburns56 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I originally went to the Bachmann website to see the new announcements and they've got a big "British Railway Announcements" splash on the front page, but when you click on it it sends you to a blank page!

No Decorum Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I’m pleased about the Birdcages. A six-coach train for the D to haul and much nicer than having a mix of lake and Wellington brown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub39h Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Only thing I may have been tempted by was the Class 117, but not at that price. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted February 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2020 Are the 35t grain hoppers new tooling or the 1960s Trix tooling? If the latter, the "Grainflow" livery is inaccurate (unlike the Lima model, which had upgraded suspension). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were the new tooling they should have 38-600 series product codes to follow on from the first releases. As 33- product codes, my guess is the old tooling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgeconna Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Gulp at the prices of the Bluebell Buildings!! Over STG300 notes for a set of station buildings. They were pricey enough when they came out first and ended up being discounted in the local model shop and was there for a number of years on the shelf reduced. Did not help that the Windows were not attached that well and some of the chimneys had snapped off over time. put me off buying it anyhow an I plumped for the Wills kit, I imagine people will be looking a kits again like the wills CK16 kit, Mind you that's now tipping at 35 notes so paints n glue to be added. Nothing of interest for me in this list thankfully! Edited February 4, 2020 by Georgeconna 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdvle Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Karhedron said: Is there any word of new N Gauge stuff in the works from Farish. Per the previous thread, nothing new will be announced until it has well progressed through the development pipeline - at the earliest seems to be the EP tooling stage given a comment from Bachmann that they would no longer use prototype pictures to announce a new product. As for new liveries on existing products, keep checking every 3 months when the next quarterly batch is announced. Also indications were that nothing new new would be announced until maybe late this year (maybe next year) given the new policy for either OO or N.

Keith J Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 1 hour ago, ndg910 said: I know Andy warned us of Bachmann's new announcement policy but this is certainly an interesting and different strategy. Somewhat thin on the ground in my view but then if this is to be repeated 4 times a year the number of items made available will soon build up. Bachmann have also used the usual bulking tactic of adding the easy win new buildings into the overall total. Its going to be difficult for them to keep all the different modellers happy in the long run and will present budgeting challenges for some. For me and for the first time in a long while there is no need for me to add anything to the wish list as the 2020 announcements (so far) has yielded nothing new or of interest from Hornby, Oxford or Bachmann. My wish list is still fair long though and am not complaining as lots to look forward to from others. On the other hand it could help with budgeting as this approach gives us a better indication of when new items are to be released rather than it just being sometime in the future. I suppose it depends on how many items are on your wanted list in any particular quarter. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a rumour that there are some who model post 1948 & the most popular era seems to be the 1960s. That may be false & Bachmann's Q1 releases are just to sit on shelves annoying big four modellers? Remember that this announcement is for items expected only during the next quarter. They have probably got other things in mind for later in the year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Derails Models Posted February 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2020 It's been a good day here at Hinckley speaking to all from Bachmann. I'm glad to say that myself and Luke have spent a couple of hours heads down in the corner of the room on our laptops so it's now all available to pre-order! Looking forward to the next announcement showcase in May! :-) 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iltman Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Looking at the announcement my first thought was £200 for a re-livery of an existing model? Whilst I'm glad to see more birdcages, the RRP for the C is I’m afraid to say rather extracting the urine 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Well, that wasn’t very exciting, but I appreciate the new approach. 117 in blue grey please, but is suspect it’ll be heavily discounted eventually . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted February 4, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2020 Ahh but they' re gilded birdcages . £84.95 wow . I'm watching the price of the 0-6-0s . Interested to see if Rails can still bring in the Blue 812 at £199. I hope they got Bachmann tied down on price . 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
