RMweb Premium 7013 Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) WR Pullman set...nice touch, long overdue, hope they get the variations from the MR set correct. Hardly a teaser from Bachmann given that we will have forgotten about all these by the time they hit the shops.

centraltrains Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I didn’t like Bachmann releasing old tooling which wasn’t DCC ready. I'd rather have old tooling than nothing at all. Cough 166 Cough 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWR8700 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm glad that they are improving existing toolings. This is something that Hornby have done very well recently with some of their models this past year. It's also a great way of keeping the range updated without breaking the bank. Don't forget it says full range will be announced over the next few weeks. So after 12 there will be more anouncements, notably in train sets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I feel like a few peope haven't read the article properly, it clearly states there is more to come... Patience. They announced the "new releases' for the 2018 range. This suggests there will be more relivery announcements. It doesn't preclude future announcements of new tools available in the further future but I doubt they want to add to the 'backlog.' What's not clear is when these "new releases" will be on the shelves although the H1 looks like a livery sample and the excellent video last week suggests the J72 should arrive this calendar year as well.

woodenhead Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hattons banner is still counting down, 45 minutes to go. Then Bachmann will announce models of everything ever built without a current tool and we can all pop down to Mrs Miggins' pie shop for a celebratory Special Sausage Pie.

RMweb Premium gc4946 Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2018 Good move on producing an all-new V2 as I didn't think their approach of simply upgrading the chassis was the best way. I'm happy that the commemoration of the end of WW1 is marked by the ROD version of GCR's O4. Several companies took over them and I hope that several pre-grouping liveries will be offered. Some were exported - three are preserved in Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROD_2-8-0 At long last the class 158/159/170/171 DMUs will be redone to contemporary standards. The LBSCR H1 was a logical development - despite being withdrawn by 1951 - from Bachmann's announced H2 version, and I'm assuming the exclusivity agreement for the GNR C1 4-4-2 expired so at least it's now in the mainstream range. It'll be interesting how many takers there'll be for the reversed grey/blue Midland Pullman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold papagolfjuliet Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2018 I was hoping for more 009. There may still be some new announcements in the rolling stock, but nothing there really grabs my attention and I was hoping for at least one more engine. Will these do you? http://www.hattons.co.uk/stocklist/cataloguelist.aspx?EraID=0&ScID=1000592&prTyID=1000640&supCatID=218 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachmann announced the all new tooled V2 in 2014, they've been on the website since then, it's just there hasn't been any progress since then!

Fenman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Dribbling out different bits of the announcement is an, er, interesting new marketing technique. Still, am very, very pleased to see the 159 joining the (still mythical) 158 - I rather fancy the 3-car 159 in original NSE livery. The new Bulleid coaches are way overdue - the range they've been plodding on with until now has been a bit of an embarrassment next to Hornby's mostly rather glorious coaching stock ranges. Half an hour to go now until the "real" announcement. Enough time to make a coffee and break out some biscuits. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2018 Bullied Coaches! And also what looks like new tool 'Parrot' wagons. 2-set in BR green, 3-set in c/c and a loose SK for me. Good stuff. Hatton's seem to have stuck Hornby price tags on them, though.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2018 With a wavy running plate? Quite! That’s the point! Bachmann have seen the chance for GN and LBSC people to do both varieties. The wavy footplate marks the difference dramatically. Another wow for the Pre-Grouping fraternity, too.
