phil gollin Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Anyone else see the initial image and thought they were doing a 455 and Waterloo station....just me then. . I thought a Class 50 on Platform 1 - at last a decent service to Hampton Court ! Then I noticed only 4 coaches - typical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centraltrains Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Shame the 319 isn't in OO! 414 really isn't my era/location. This looks interesting 31-029 Class 166 in FGW green livery Probably the only thing I may buy. Sad to see only 1 new Class 150. Interesting to see passengers are being added to some trains. An NSE 47 loco is tempting to replace my Lima 50... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy W Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2016 A Clas 319 in N, that is rather bizarre. I would have thought a 455 would have made more NSE sense. NSE sense, probably. Economic sense, less so - after all in future years they can produce various Thameslink liveries, Connex livery, Southern livery, London Midland livery, Northern Electrics livery and probably some others I've forgotten, and sell them to people modelling areas from Brighton in the south to Blackpool (eventually) in the north. Try that with a 455. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkchinaclay Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Only one item of interest to me (below) so looks like it will be a cheap year! Class 66 No. 66065 in EWS livery with DB Schenker branding Another year of "consolidation" but hopefully supply and delivery can be sorted out going forwards.. an otherwise disappointing set of announcements for current day modellers (I don't consider the NSE years as current).

locoholic Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Interesting that Kader are giving Bachmann UK extra resources to deal with the backlog. Let's hope that starts to pay dividends soon. To be honest, there's not much in these announcements for me, but hopefully others will be pleased. Another year to save up for a rake of maroon Portholes! Having just forked out on the Hornby Colletts, perhaps I should be grateful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2016 My wallet is thankful that there isn't anything too tempting from the Farish list, as there is still quite a bit from last years announcement I'm looking to purchase. Is the set 370-130 Express Mail the one featuring 47522 Doncaster Enterprise in LNER green I wonder, as mentioned in the blog from Nuremberg? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam in the North West Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Only one new OO steam loco with a late crest!!!!!! Looks like nothing new from Bachmann will be coming my way this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Always the same. The list is full of steam releases, the diesel modellers complain. The list is full of diesel releases, the steam modellers complain. Can't we just be happy that we're getting new releases that signify a company is thinking ahead? It's 30 years of NSE so they've picked a good theme. I'm sure next year all you well served steam modellers will get yet more models to buy, for once it's the turn of us that model the 1980s/1990s period to be happy.

Pandora Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Not as many all new models as I hoped for, but I suppose that with such a backlog of models announced from last year still in progress, Bachmann have made the decision to use 2016 as a catch up year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Downer Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2016 How many years since no new steam loco was announced? But it does look like the Thompsons might be with us inside twelve months, which is good news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is full of diesel releases, the steam modellers complain. The financial times did call us a fussy old market the other day in one of their articles on Hornby's woes. Cannot think why they say that personally. Bachmann tend to announce new items in drips these days, so maybe we will see another item at the collectors fair and again at the start of the last 1/4 of the year. This announcement sees no new diesel nor steam (in 00 at least), nor any new coaches, nor any wagons. Just a 1/3rd rail electric, some passengers and a conflat load.

RMweb Premium amwells Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hopefully the 319 gets scaled up to OO at some point in the future! Seems like a nicely balanced range (including everything already announced) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2016 It beggers belief that with plenty of Crimson and Cream Porthole coaches still on the shelf in my local model shops (i.e. indicating that demand has been satisfied) Bachmann would announce more C&C Porthole coaches, but STILL NO BR Maroon ones.

RMweb Premium Boco_D1 Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2016 Typical for so long I have said, if there is a r-t-r 319 I'd model Bedford, I get going on my new project and what do farish do to me...

RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2016 A Clas 319 in N, that is rather bizarre. I would have thought a 455 would have made more NSE sense. Yes but 455s are rather restricted in their spheres of operation- basically the south central and south western suburban operations in London - and have rather a lot of detail differences between each subclass By contrast the 319s appeared on:- Serices to Brighton, Sevenoaks (via Swanley) and Guildford (via Sutton & Effingham Junc) as well as various other south London suburban operations which ran from Victoria. MML services to Luton & Bedford AND now in the northwest of England between Liverpool & Manchester. Liveries wise with the 319s you have got:- NSE Connex (Yellow) Thameslink (Grey) Thameslink (Blue and Yellow) First Capital Connect DfT plain white with blue doors Northern Rail While the 455s are restricted to:- NSE Connex SWT (version 1 - IIRC all those units have detail differences from the as built Southern fleet requiring tooling mods) SWT (suburban red - IIRC all those units have detail differences from the as built Southern fleet requiring tooling mods) Southern (Tooling mods required due to the removal of the front end gangways) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frobisher Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm presuming that this year is lean because we saw a lot of this year's announcements last year "early" because of the anniversary. The 319 in N is a very pleasant surprise. The lack of the 00 one I'd say would be Bachmann being cautious at this stage as there is an existing competing product from Bratchell. If Bratchell sit on their thumbs I ca see an 00 one following in rapid order once the CAD has progressed on the N one. For now Bachmann dodge acquisitions of duplication. The 319 does strike me as a gateway product to further MK3 based EMUs in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
