I've a feeling a price increase has gone through. The blue one is weathered. Aren't weathered examples usually a bit more? e.g. LMS brake van.

RMweb Premium JR_P Posted January 18, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2022 Are we not due a ‘Spring 22’ announcement in the next two (or three) weeks?! Have they actually delivered anything this quarter?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be untrue to say that they have delivered nothing this quarter. They have delivered the new and very expensive 6 pin decoder announced at the beginning of November. They have also delivered a couple of TTA's and some inspection saloons (announced at the beginning of August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Harvey Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 And we are still waiting for the EFE Rail China Clay JIA etc. hoppers from the Winter 2020 announcements which have not appeared after over 14 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The TTAs and inspection saloons a pretty old models now having been around and available for many years.

grahame Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Weren't the china clay JIAs displayed at TINGS last year in a decorated finished and weathered state? They must be due for delivery very soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Kris Posted January 19, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2022 I've now gone to Bachmann's own website to see what has or has not arrived. Of the 10 rolling stock items announced for N, none have arrived, with these having either an April/May or May/June arrival date some 6-8 months after arrival and not the promised 3 months (there is one exception to this and the arrival date for this item is Feb/March) Quote new items set to land on shelves in the next three months - https://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2021/11/british-railway-announcements-winter-2021/ The Lilliput Lane models, sorry n gauge scene craft buildings have been well served, with only 1 of the 9 announced models not arriving this quarter. The view from 00 land is also middling. Of the 30 items of rolling stock announced 18 have arrived. OO gauge scene craft buildings have also faired well with 21 out of 21 items arriving on time. OO9 modellers however have been well served with 100% of the advertised models arriving on time. I'm sure that we will soon be told that there is an excuse for this failure to deliver on very meagre promises - Yes Covid rates did increase, but does covid disproportionally affect those assembling N Gauge items I wonder?* The power rationing has been going on since September so should have been taken account of when the list was released. Bachmann quarterly announcements see evermore pointless and disappointing. *I do realise that Kadar probably pulled the production of these n gauge models to concentrate on more profitable models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted January 20, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2022 I wonder if they fixed the artwork, they were still using the incorrect font on the Imerys logo, as they did on the OO gauge one. I expect that from Dapol, but not Farish! The pristine ones looked great I thought, but the weathered ones miss the mark for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom, albeit the whole quarterly announcement thing seems to be going a bit pear-shaped with the 03 and 04s now being listed for Q2. As with last quarter I am not going to get myself too excited, I expect the meagre pickings to continue. I'd be happy with sensible dates for the existing "Awaiting" announcements TBH.

I was quite impressed with the weathered ones. Good job we don't all like the same thing. At least you won't be buying them all up and causing a shortage (if they do actually arrive before we all pass on). ;-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted January 22, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2022 I definitely won’t as I printed my own 2 years ago I’m sure the weathered ones are accurate for a very short period, and I applaud Farish for not just doing the all over waft of brown, but much like the silver bullets the way in which the JIAs get dirty is very distinctive. Notably they take on an entirely brown hue, but the lettering still remains visible. With the OO gauge ones Kernow obliterated the lettering with a heavy, almost black, layer. I’d love to have seen something more akin to the Dapol ICA, with a brown base with decals and spilling applied to that; not even bothering with the blue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted January 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’m actually surprised they did the JIA before the PBA; I’d have thought the PBA would have sold better, plus multiple liveries. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
