Ron Ron Ron Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Bachmann have now put a news item up on their new website, regarding the big A. http://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2018/01/a-for-accessories/ . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted January 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2018 The letter A should have been included in the symbols key for this years catalogue. However it is currently still in the drawing office, but with luck it should be progressing to tooling later this year. Bachmann are hoping to have EP samples of the A available at Ally Pally next year (2019) and decorated samples by Warley, later that year. If all goes according to plan, the production A will be available in time to be included in the symbols key for the 2020 catalogue. . In keeping with Bachmann using he letter A, Farish have now also, started using the same letter. Some confusion exists, as to the font style of the letter, and it's size. An insider noted: "It's all very well having a new A, but we need to consider the relative scale, and which era the letter A was introduced". He continued:- " There are a multitude of letters, some within boxes, and some without. To simply release letters, without due regard to sizes & era is just a problem awaiting to happen. Before you know it, you'll be knee-deep in eras, colours, fonts, capitals, bolds & feints", as he underlined the problem". Sam L'Spade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they couldn't have kept the old one while the new one was being painted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did send Fred (the office boy) to fetch some new paint for the web site. His use of Canary Yellow, on a Cerise background, bordered by a Daffodil shading, was 'inspired'. Sam L'Spade.

Just re-instate the old website and forget about the new one. Pass over to Hornby how it is constructed so that Hornby can do one like it but in red and yellow. The old site was a dream to browse. Hornby’s is tiresome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"some within boxes, and some without" ! .... isn't that just going to confuse the collectors - and Antiques Roadshow - for whom the box is EVERYTHING !!?!
