Moderators AY Mod Posted November 3, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2020 BACHMANN EUROPE ANNOUNCE NEW PRODUCTS FOR WINTER 2020 Bachmann Europe Plc today announced several new products across its Bachmann Branchline, Graham Farish, Scenecraft and EFE Rail ranges – with models in both N and OO scale being added to Bachmann’s extensive portfolio. The first ever British Railway Announcements were unveiled in February 2020, a month after Bachmann Europe had outlined its plans to announce new products on a quarterly basis and only when those items are within three months of becoming available. This fourth and final set of announcements for 2020 is the biggest yet and marks a successful first year for this new approach which has been welcomed by customers and consumers alike. Graham Farish has always been at the forefront of British N scale and was the first manufacturer to introduced British consumers to models with factory-fitted DCC Sound Decoders (now known as SOUND FITTED). The selection of SOUND FITTED models from Graham Farish expands further this Winter with the unveiling of six new Class 31 locomotives with SOUND FITTED. There are SOUND FITTED developments in OO scale from Bachmann Branchline too, with this feature being added to the 94XX Pannier Tanks and Class 117 DMUs. All-new versions of the H1 and H2 Atlantics and Class 57 locomotives are also announced – each with a SOUND FITTED option available. The Scenecraft range of highly detailed, hand painted buildings, structures and accessories welcomes a new collection of OO scale models – Lucston and Wigmore – offering quintessential structures suitable for any setting. There are new additions in N scale too, including the reappearance of models depicting iconic structures such as the Coaling Tower and Gasometer. EFE Rail is already becoming an established name on the shelves of Bachmann retailers and there are new additions in both OO and N scale this Winter, with models of two different wagons – the Shark Brake Van and JIA Bogie Hopper – being made available in ready-to-run format in N scale for the first time. Full details of these Winter announcements are featured in the British Railway Announcements catalogue which is available exclusively with the Bachmann Times – the official magazine of the Bachmann Collectors Club – and these products are set to be released during the next three months and can be ordered from any Bachmann stockist. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just my opinion from a current day perspective would have liked further Class 90's or modern DBSO's (DRS or NR) instead of more Class 57's. Captain Tom Moore Class 66 Pack looks good with the WWII fighter planes. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil gollin Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 . Some lovely items, however the age of the £200 locomotive is now well established. The lineside stuff will be wonderful IF they come out as well finished. . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted November 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2020 Would have been interested if the DRS 57 was in the current fade away livery but then I guess even that is becoming obsolete now as they are hiring out their 57s ..... such a shame as another open goal missed .... makes you wonder if this livery is hard to replicate as no-one aside from Accurascale on their forthcoming 37/6 has attempted it ...... With regards to the rest - still no new 90s ..... makes me happy - more for me to respray over the winter months ....... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of my era so not really studied their success of replicating it though! Edited November 3, 2020 by Global 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices of the further 94xx variants gave me a bit of a start until I realised they all have sound. Awfully glad I bought my Beachy Head when I did..... Some imaginative new variations on existing themes that will be welcomed by those with interests in the appropriate areas and eras. However, I bought all I want/need from earlier batches and have (largely) cured myself of "collecting" so only a couple of items will demand my attention.

Pete the Elaner Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Some of the buildings look quite nice. Nothing seems to get modellers excited quite like a loco, but there are still some of these & the announcement only covers what should actually be with us in the next 3 months. I quite like the fact that what has been announced will be available relatively soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks as always to Andy for producing these updates on here so we can all see what is coming out. I had a feeling this year we would see a WCRC 57 so I’m delighted to finally see that above. cheers Mark 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Tom Moore Class 66 Pack looks good with the WWII fighter planes. Why would the DBSO be released today, the Mk2Fs are next due June/July 2021. Thus I would be expecting Bachmann to announce a DRS Mk2F TSO, BSO and DBSO during their May 2021 release...ideally along with the Network Rail DBSO. It is fairly easy to 'guess' what shall be released in every quarter now. Looking at Feb 2021, you have a series of class 150s and 20/3s due in the 3 months following...thus likely more liveries on these... 21 minutes ago, cambo74 said: Would have been interested if the DRS 57 was in the current fade away livery but then I guess even that is becoming obsolete now as they are hiring out their 57s ..... such a shame as another open goal missed .... makes you wonder if this livery is hard to replicate as no-one aside from Accurascale on their forthcoming 37/6 has attempted it ...... With regards to the rest - still no new 90s ..... makes me happy - more for me to respray over the winter months ....... Agreed! As the GWR 57 was due in this quarter, I was expecting more 57s to be announced. But sad we have missed out on the 57/3 fade livery. Seeing as Bachmann can 'ink jet' print the 66 model and Dapol can tampo print the new compass on the 68...I was 100% assuming Bachmann would finally provide us a much sort after loco. Maybe, and a big maybe here.... seeing as we know from the 66s the ink jet printing adds considerable cost....perhaps we shall see the fade 57/3 announced as a limited edition this week? Kernow are good for limited editions... Maybe it is being produced and shipped for Dec/Jan and shall be announced either with a retailer or as the next Bachmann collectors club? I have a feeling, whilst they have the 57 tooling out, surely they have produced this one. Eagle eye on retailer's sites some Dec! Still, utterly chuffed with 57009 to run on RHTTs with 57011! It appears they have used the original artwork from 57011 so it shall match! 5 minutes ago, newbryford said: Pity they've included the Dellner on the WCRC 57...... Here goes my first ever moan about price! I would have thought for a £204 locomotive they would have cut off the Dellner rather than painted it yellow. Still buying one, and hopeful 57601 in the new Northern Belle livery shall be a limited edition with some retailer.
