Recommended Posts

An email dropped into my inbox today, to report that Bachmann’s 3rd set of announcements for 2020 will be made on Tuesday 4th August (in 5 days time).

The announcement will be made via a video, the link to which will be issued on Monday (3rd).

 

The Autumn edition of Bachmann Times, with the usual new announcement supplementary pages, will also be posted out next week.

The link is principally for the benefit of the Collectors' Club members. I will politely ask that no-one posts a link to it on here or to any other location that is unable to respect the intent.

 

The information will be available in due course.

Another thing to look forward to on the 3rd, then (pubs re-open in Wales on 3rd; the thing I've missed most during lockdown is the pub.  We can sit outside some of them but it's not the same...).  Bachmann's quarterly announcements seem to be working, well done blue box!

Perhaps to celebrate Bachmann will announce a Scenecraft welsh pub to combine the two significant events!

As a slight aside, one wonders if Scenecraft will produce a queue, with the required distances....

4th.

 

Just that the Bachmann Collectors Club members are getting sent a link on the 3rd so they can watch it. The announcement itself is on the Tuesday and I would think a thread will appear immediately afterwards.

 

Here's the details from the email. I'm as much wondering what the Limited BCC Model is.

Our announcement video will be premiering on Tuesday 4th August and as a Bachmann Collectors Club member you will be the first to see it, so look out for the link to view the video which will be sent to you next Monday.

All of the new products also feature in the Autumn Bachmann Times magazine and this will be mailed out next week too. We have an exciting new Limited Edition model for you along with the usual great mix of articles covering both models and the real world of railways!

Sawyer models have released a blurred picture on their Facebook page which apparently Bachman have allowed them to use and is linked to the new announcement. It looks like a 66 front fairing or it could be sawyer models having a laugh at our expense!
Tuesday we find out!

Yes that did occur to me too it may just be an already announced model it’s just with the speculation about a brand new 66 from Bachmann it just got me thinking.

That’s badly worded. The public announcement is on the 4th, but the collectors’ club can view it on the 3rd via the link shared to them, or the announcement is on the 4th and the link (but only the link) will be provided on the 3rd in anticipation of this?

The link supplied just counts down to the time it will be available for club members on the 4th.

Looking at the bases on most plastic figures, most manufacturers were already trail blazzers.

I’m hoping for some more modern image stuff and wouldn’t surprise me if the collectors club model was 66731 captain Tom Moore 

I did hear at the time that both Bachmann and Hornby were looking at doing it, so wouldnt suprise me

Good Morning,

 

I have seen the blurry picture as I was in the shop at the weekend. It is a genuine picture from Bachmann. I am looking forward to Tuesday's announcements. 

 

All the best

BCC and retailers will get a link today for the video premier tomorrow AM, before it goes live on the Bachmann website at 12 noon tomorrow.

 

It's billed to be a bit like a video version of the event back in February, this one was supposed to be in a hotel in Bristol but unfortunately with current events and all that...


HTH :-)

does anyone know if this announcement is set to be an 'update' to the release schedule, or is it 'NEW' stuff?

 

Alternatively, should I just shut up and wait? 

 

The quarterly announcements so far have been new stuff, and this is supposedly a "bumper" issue so all being well some stuff of interest.
