alibuchan Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hi, I have taken some photos of stuff in the Farish cabinet from Warley. Not everything but the best i could get before the elbows were getting dug in to my side. Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave777 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Oooh yes, gimme that GUV and Mk I BG. Have to say, that WD is looking bloomin' good too, the tender has real 'weight' to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmthtrains - David Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 AAAAH! Those 350 look stunning. I'll have the entire cabinet of stock please! They look pretty advanced, any news on when they're being released? David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TomE Posted November 19, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2011 Here's a few more, mainly Desiro, pics from the Farish display: It looks superb, and it was nice to see they have attempted to give some impression of that mass of cabling between the vehicles.

RMweb Premium richierich Posted November 19, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2011 All looking very good and quite advanced stages of development. At the moment the Desiro's are a March/April release on Bachmann's web site. Is there any news of a refurbished Class 37 (especially a 37/4, 37/5 37/6)? Now in 1:76 there is tooling for all major refurbished variants, its seems such a missed opportunity for such a popular class of loco not to bring them to 1:148 scale, don't you think?

Jeff-Pieman Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Any word on when the buses are due? They must be getting close as there was some in full retail packaging on display in Scenecraft display cabinet, along with some interesting new buildings including the Single track Maintenance depot and carriage shed, similar to the OO gauge versions. Other new buildings included the station based on the Great Central Railway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linners Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Any word on when the buses are due? Many thanks Alistair, I really appreciate you taking the time to obtain the pictures and post them for all the non-Warley attendee's to see. There are some very nice looking models but I too was wondering about the status of the bus models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some very nice looking models but I too was wondering about the status of the bus models. The buses were there in the blister packs at the bottom of the n gauge display so I would guess they are pretty close. I took some video and will be uploading it to my Youtube channel in the next couple of days. R E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave777 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Just looked at the Bachmann site and it looks like the GUVs and BGs have been pushed back a couple of months. I think they were originally Dec/Jan releases but are now marked as Feb/Mar. Also, the photos above appear to show the GUV in Express Parcels branding, a change to the standard blue that the Bachmann website is showing.

R E Faust Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've uploaded a video of some of the products on display here: Hope it's of interest to anyone who couldn't make it. R E Faust Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portpatrick Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 All looks very interesting. But was anything said about the Ivatt Mickey Mouse 260 which has been in the plans for c 5 years? Indeed at the 2008 N Gauge show, Colin Albright gave me a slightly dirty look when I queried its expected appearance date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave flint Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Have to say that the pantogoraph on the 350 looks very nice and fine. Ok, not a Brecknell-Willis, but not a deal breaker for me. And also rather pleased that Bachmann have a shrink-ray for N, the Autoballasters and Flasks look superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Farish guys on the stand on Saturday at Warley: 2MT will be loco driven with DCC socket in the tender and expected Q4 2012 (we'll see). J39 also expected Q4 2012 5MT and WD expected Q2 2012 Weathered pressflows (which I'm interested in) due by end of November 2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R E Faust Hi there, I'm not familiar with the prototype, but perhaps it has taken more development work than some of the other models? I suspect some products will (by virtue of using existing drive systems, or having more space inside) be less challenging than others. And personally, I would rather they take their time and get it right, than rush it to hit an arbitrary deadline and release a substandard product! cheers Ben A.

R E Faust Yes, but I believe they had some difficulty getting the mechanism into such a small tender. Now it seems Farish are abandoning that method of drive in their newest models and the 2MT will benefit from this. If the loco drive mechanism Farish come up with works and works better than the tender drive, then the extra wait will be worth it I feel. Tom.

If the loco drive mechanism Farish come up with works and works better than the tender drive, then the extra wait will be worth it I feel. Tom. Not a lot wrong with the tender-drives in my experience (Last count I have 15 tender driven Farish models). In N there is good reason to put the drive mechanism in the tender and if Farish choose to go the loco-drive route with the Ivatt I wonder what compromises will have to be made with the loco body - motor in the cab maybe or possibly a boiler skirt? I would have thought that there is a lot of difference between putting an 8mm coreless motor in a relatively big boilered loco like a WD or Standard 5 and crowbarring it into a loco as small as an Ivatt, indeed it that is the plan, my bet is that we will never see it. Personally I hope the J39 employs the ecellent tender-drive the B1 currently uses. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote from the Bachmann_Farish website: prototypical non-working pantograph hmmm, I think the word order could have been better, or are the pantographs on the protoype non-working as well? :-) anyway so looking forward to it! jgp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
