Either that, or the site is still not fully functional. Your link took me to this: While INFORMATION > announcements took me to this: Hi truffy And we all thought it would be Hornby that will be going to the wall first... if that was to ever happen... Who'd have thought Hornby now own Bachmann hey... lol haha Regards Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are obviously setting up a page for the announcement. Which is in "X amount of hours". However long it is to 10 o'clock tomorrow....

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted February 4, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2020 At the log in page, I entered my collectors club details.... it opened a page showing a map of Bachmann retailers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted February 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have only read that the collectors club members will be getting the new releases leaflet. I am a member of the collectors club but how is everyone else going to find out I guess Bachmann will put on their website, on here and via the magazines has anything been announced about their intentions? thanks mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the rant from someone describing themselves as 'angry' because they wanted Hornby to make something less profitable because it suited him? On another note, I hope Bachmann are hosting their site on the cloud & have it set up properly. For those unfamiliar, cloud services allow customers to only pay for what they use & allow servers to be set up to only run when needed, so as the web site gets busy, more resources are used to meet demand, then when it goes quiet again, they are turned off (actually used by someone else) to save money. I was quite sceptical but then I started studying it. It is quite clever. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Been checking out the Rails website in case they got in first, must say the Hornby B12 in LNER Apple green is rather nice.

bigP Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Well, I suppose maybe they actually have nothing to announce? Perhaps there’s this big press event in Bachman Towers with just tea and biscuits, and no models at all. Maybe they have turned over a new (tea) leaf after all Paul Edited February 4, 2020 by bigP 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I believe a lot of what may have been prepared to be announced has been affected considerably by a certain very major and tragic situation. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Well lets get on regardless Wow just wow and I never expected it to be in green too Not sure about that choice of Chimney, if they had done the other one it would have been good as a base to convert to that How many of those do we need I'll have ten of those At last HOW much!!! Another delay Wow that's already in tooling Roll on 2021 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 To be honest, I'm looking at the B12 from Hornby thanks to lack of Bachmann announcements! Bachmann take note! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
