Moderators AY Mod Posted November 3, 2021 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2021 NEW PRODUCTS FOR WINTER 2021 UNVEILED BY BACHMANN EUROPE Bachmann Europe Plc today showcased a host of new products in N, OO, OO9 and O scale with the launch of the Winter British Railway Announcements. Amongst the new items, which are all due to hit Bachmann stockists’ shelves over the next three months, there were several surprises alongside some much-requested models like the DCC ready N scale diesel shunters and further Class 90s from Bachmann Branchline. Bachmann Narrow Gauge has reaffirmed its position as a leading name in British-outline OO9 scale with the introduction of the iconic Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie as its next OO9 locomotive. The most recognisable narrow gauge locomotive of them all, the Bachmann Narrow Gauge Double Fairlie captures the unique beauty of the prototype in miniature. Three models will be available which incorporate locomotive- and era-specific details, completed by the exquisite livery application using Ffestiniog Railway-specification colours along with authentic crests and symbols. The high specification chassis incorporates a coreless motor with twin flywheels driving both bogies, all-wheel pick up, separate metal bearings on each axle and a Next18 DCC decoder socket with pre-fitted speaker. The three models will be available this November in standard or SOUND FITTED format. New Class 03 and 04 Diesel Shunters were revealed for the Graham Farish N scale range, and for the first time these are equipped with a DCC decoder socket. In order to fit within the minute space inside the models, Bachmann also published details of a new DCC decoder – the 6 Pin Micro DCC Loco-Decoder (36-571) – which is the perfect fit for the new Class 03 and Class 04s. Like other Bachmann DCC decoders, this new decoder also includes the Brake Button function. In addition, the Class 150/1 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) appears in BR Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive livery for the first time, along with a SOUND FITTED version of the Class 101 DMU in the iconic BR Green ‘Speed Whiskers’ livery. In OO scale the Bachmann Branchline Class 90 returns by popular demand, and four new liveries adorn this stunning model. Combining a highly accurate and detailed body shell with an authentic chassis and bogies – each featuring a wealth of separately fitted detail – the Bachmann Branchline Class 90 also incorporates authentic lighting and a finely-rendered Pantograph which can be raised or lowered via the built-in servo motor when operated on DCC. SOUND FITTED versions of each are also available which, like all Bachmann SOUND FITTED models, can be enjoyed on both DCC and Analogue control. For those wishing to fit a DCC decoder to a standard model, a new decoder configured specifically for these new Class 90s has been announced (36-569A). Two new Class 150 DMUs also appear, including the Class 150/2 which features the windows in the cab-end corridor doors, as fitted to the units when first built, for the first time. New from EFE Rail this Winter is a range of OO scale SPA and SEA Wagons, the latter featuring the distinctive hood, and no fewer than 13 models will be available in a variety of liveries. The Scenecraft range is expanded with the addition of several seaside-themed items, including two Holiday Coaches, a seaside Café and Lifeguards Hut, helping consumers reminisce about summer holidays of days gone by. Numerous Low Relief models return to the range by popular demand, along with the Coach Washing Plant, while in O scale the Sectional Lineside Hut is available once again. N scale additions include the Parachute Water Tower and Fuelling Pump House, plus several handy accessories like the Lineside Cabinets and Small Kiosk. Like every Scenecraft model, these new items are all highly detailed and hand decorated making them the perfect choice to add instant impact and realism to any layout or diorama. To coincide with the launch of the Bachmann Narrow Gauge Double Fairlie, the Bachmann Collectors Club announced its next Exclusive model and its first in OO9 scale – Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie 'David lloyd George' in Ffestiniog Railway Lined Red livery. To cater for the growing number of OO9 scale consumers, a new OO9 Scale Membership option is also now available which provides the same extensive benefits that are enjoyed by all Club members. Full details of the new items for Winter 2021 can be found in the British Railway Announcements Catalogue, produced as part of the Bachmann Times and available exclusively to members of the Bachmann Collectors Club. In addition to the new items unveiled today, many other products are scheduled to arrive during the next three months and projected release dates for many Bachmann products can be found at www.bachmann.co.uk.

Possibly earlier than that. Roco had announced an intention to do a Fairlie some time before Peco/Kato. Bachmann may have decided to go ahead when Roco baled.

woodenhead Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) The Double Fairlies look nice, however, DCC ready N gauge shunters, looks like the effort going in to 009 is paying off for N gauge too. I have an 08 and an 04 awaiting me being brave enough to chip them, more confident with the 08, however, I now have a safe option and likely an 08 with sound maybe in future if they have got a chip inside the 04. For steam, it also means the J72 may be back on after being pulled because of it's size in the past. Edited November 3, 2021 by woodenhead 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted November 3, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2021 Quote "It's fair to say that Graham Farish hasn't featured as prominently as some other ranges in recent announcements..." ...and that's working really well for us, so we'll carry on doing the same! Seems a real shame not to mark the anniversary year with anything more exciting than 'the first UK shunter with a decoder socket', although I accept if you're desperate for an 03/04 it's a great announcement.

But it does mean little engines can have chips - J72, 08 etc. Think about Dapol - an M7 that had no DCC capability and they simply added a wiring option when they noted that people were a bit miffed. If Bachmann wanted to there are lots of small N gauge engines they can go at with with micro DCC chips. It's not as if there was a lot of new stuff in 00, the big announcement this time round was 009. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted November 3, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2021 I was a bit surprised at the look of Merddin Emrys, as the livery didn't resemble any variant I'd ever seen a photo of, but on further investigation it looks as if it's represented as it was first built in 1879. It's believed that the early Festiniog livery was green, with indian red introduced in the 1880s. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Pleased there are new 90s, scratching my head as to why 2 Freightliner ones have been done as opposed to 1 FL and 1 DB or EWS. It could be rights or it could be that Bachmann want to sell pairs (both of these would work with each other or 90042). 90041 is the one I am likely to get, whether I will pay £185 for it on release is another matter (vs what else £185 can get me such as a GBRF 60) is another matter. Also it does run with 90042 quite often and has been other than a few subtleties like this now for about 18 years. 90048 does seem a good choice in that it was like that for AGES (25 years as a guess, fills a big gap timewise left by the initial releases), but I don't like the fact it is weathered.

I just checked the 2019 and 2021 catalogues (I didn't get the 2020 one and I don't have my catalogues from 2018 and earlier to hand) and it isn't in either. Whereas the the BR one is in both the 2019 and 2021 catalogues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
