IMPORTANT INFORMATION – GRAHAM FARISH CLASS 319 EMUs

As previously reported, following the release of the Graham Farish Class 319 EMUs last year, we discovered that the 3rd rail shoe beam had been omitted from one bogie on both the Network SouthEast and Thameslink models and that the TSOL vehicle of the Thameslink model had been incorrectly moulded.

 

We are pleased to report that replacement bogies and bodies are now available, and these will be supplied free of charge to consumers who purchased either of these models.

 

To claim a replacement Bogie (for the Network SouthEast model, item No. 372-875) or Bogie and Bodyshell (for the Thameslink model, item No. 372-876), consumers must contact the Bachmann Service Department by emailing: service@bachmann-europe.co.uk or by post: Service Department – Bachmann Europe Plc, Moat Way, Barwell, Leicestershire, LE9 8EY. All claims should include a proof of purchase and specify the name and address to which the replacement parts should be sent.

They look excellent, particularly the 450; just a pity they are so far behind the times.

 

The close up photography is cruel to the metallic finish on the TPx 350 - it should look fine at normal viewing distance. It's a shame that I was never able to print metallics during my Electra days but the grey version certainly was popular.

Yep, they look great, and with the first being delivered Nov 2002 and the first in service in Oct 2003 it's almost 20 years late.

I never bought the 00 gauge one as I was waiting on them doing the transpennine livery. They still haven't done it.
