Member 980 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Doing my daily gaze at New Stock on the Hatton's website I notice a very large number of new Bachmann items, which I assume means that they are now back as friends again. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Was just going to post the same thing. Hopefully its all resolved now, either that or they've taken stock from another store 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opelsi Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Noted that the SECR 'C' Class [31-460A] is on with Hatton's at £207 where as Rails have it at £189.50. Though Bachmann's own website has it at £224.95. Sure others will note price differentials too! Still good to see trading has resumed between the two!

Br60066 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 A few rarer/ sought after models in that mix as well. Colas class 70 in 00 gauge comes to mind. They managed to find 8 of them and considering how quickly they sold in the first batch and how hard they are to find second hand for sensible money its rather tempting.

They aren't on the list of traders released today! I expect they've acquired a joblot of stock from a retailer that has closed due to lockdown.

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted May 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 7, 2020 I don’t thing the Bachmann dealer list very accurate, as my local model shop Topp Trains in Stafford has been a Bachmann dealer and stockists for over five years and is not listed.

napierlion Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Good evening everyone, Hope you are all keeping safe. The fact that there are no N gauge products listed would suggest to me that this has come from another retailer who does not stock N gauge. I know of one over the Pennines that does not stock N gauge and has assisted Hattons with Bachmann products in the past. All the best Charles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Just now, Joseph_Pestell said: Perhaps best not to discuss publicly if that is the case (speaking as a former retailer). We know who it would be. The question we should probably ask - if Hattons are not a registered retailer and you buy a loco - will Bachmann fix it should it be defective - if not purchased from Barwell are these not grey market models so if Hattons cannot fix or replace then only option will be refund. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black 5 Bear Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hattons have in the past sold stock from Olivia's Trains. This was the case a couple of years back with regards to Hornby. I believe they still have a arrangement as regards sound fitting etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
