I don't think there has been a recent announcement where I haven't bought something. I have a sneaky feeling that the Bulleids will be somewhere in this or the next announcement. They surely must be due as the EPs surfaced about a year ago.... Jason have we seen decorated samples of the Bulleids yet ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Is there definitely going to be an announcement? The latest news on the Bachmann website is now plugging the Autumn announcements and not a peep about tomorrow. Similarly no e-mail from Collectors' Club which I thought preceded it with a link to the presentation. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know which is all the more strange as it is Autumn's that have recently been put up as part of Bachmann's "Latest News" on their website and that was my point.

But they didn't release pre-release photos of many of the newer models such as the diesels going through every stage. They just announced them as the final version. Maybe they have stopped the "Here's this stage" type of announcements? We'll see tomorrow. If not then the Jan/Feb announcement might have them.

Jason They only do that on the older pre-announced stuff which they still update on, but as there is less and less on that list then there is less of this to show in updates. All newer models coming through development only appear when they are close to shipping so will be decorated in most cases unless it is a one off like the class 69.

Jason Jason, I agree with you regarding OO gauge diesel announcements (re-tools of classes 20, 24 and 47) however rolling stock is a different issue and decorated samples are usually shown months in advance of release, a recent example being the VEA van in railfreight livery which was in the autumn collectors club magazine.

Certainly not the old tooling! That'd be my guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
