There were 3 times as many 2406s as 2405s, which they have already tooled. And each had a quite separate purpose, 2406s being "loose" vehicles, while 2405s were formed into two-sets 63-75 with a BTK, Dia 2123. These vehicles were predominately used on WoE services, both local and to Waterloo. Yes - and in N would be nice too. Fair enough the Farish range does have the nice later build "deep vent" BTSO, TK, CK and TO, but the Branchline range also has the earlier "shallow vent" ones to (but not the TO of any vent type), and the BCK is only available in OO scale. Tavern cars (both original and post - 1959 rebuilt form) would be nice too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Class 25 locos will be announced at Midday. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan70000 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 What I'd like to see: a new batch of J72s covering the liveries not covered by the first batch. Particularly 69001 in "BRITISH RAILWAYS" plain black which was actually announced at some point, but never saw release. This was a Hull Dairycoates loco in the early 1950s. A newly-tooled Wordsell NER Class C/LNER J21, with versions covering the class's lifetime from their early days in lined Wordsell green and vermillion to 65033 in BR late crest black. A re-release of the standard BR 20T brake van in early bauxite livery without warning flashes or TOPS panels. For some reason this particularly livery is very hard to find - there are plenty of late bauxite ones out there, and plenty of early grey vans - but not early bauxite. What I expect to see: only liveries for what has already been announced + a brand new all-singing, all-dancing mainline diesel that several other manufacturers are already working on. My bet would be a HST, at a price point that would make Richard Branson wince. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted April 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30 The Classix range of diecast vehicles was wide, with an interesting mix of cars, vans and lorries. Their Austin A30/35, Vauxhall saloon, and Triumph Herald cars; Morris Minor pick-up, Fordson and Morris J vans; and Jensen Tug and battery powered milk float are still fully up to today’s standards. It would be lovely if Bachmann reintroduce this range. The Fordson van is particularly useful to railway modellers - in BR crimson and cream or maroon liveries, and as a Post Office van - and the detail in its radiator grille is unmatched. Most of the vehicles mentioned have not been duplicated by others. John Storey 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted April 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30 I would happily endorse Nathan’s suggestion of the Worsdell NER Class C/LNER J21 …. also BR J21! And the preserved J21 should be back in action next year. John S 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Given they've already announced the expansion of the Mk1 range and the Class 25s it does make me wonder what else is left to be announced in OO apart from anything EFE choose to throw out Reliveries and reruns always welcome though. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 They did say there might be more new annoucements tomorrow, but they could be bluffing. The 25s were already coming so not new though perhaps it's now clearer what they are offering with specific models and liveries. So far ahead of this announcement we've had: N gauge tanks OO Palvan OO Mk1 coaches 7MM narrow gauge. Leaves space for something new in 009 and I'd like to think that the Peaks and 25s in OO might mean at least something in N from all that work too - like a 25/3. But I am not going to get into a fever about it. 😄 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I'm going to guess given the MK1 tooling announcements that we will see IC railtour white roof BCK and a TSO to go along with FO and RBR. (Also with more widespread maroon and B/G variants) Will also guess a bso microbuffet if tooling allows although this could be held back for a second wave. With the new Mk1 announcement I'm hoping there won't me any more Mk2fs but these are definitely due another batch. Will await being proved wrong or right tomorrow, along with other surprises 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaneofFife Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 With the Class 31 in the Spring announcements and I dare say the vast Class 25 range will dominate tomorrows report I very much doubt an all new diesel will be announced....... Hate to say it but I would include electrics in that too for Branchline 00...... I suspect the headlines will be led by the Class 25 plus a few reliveries of a wagon or two and of course we will find out what models are to be available at launch from the new Mk1 coach tooling announced on Sunday. Maybe a Class 85 in N gauge??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr chapman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Well they have managed to get something out of me the last few announcements. So I certainly won't complain if there nothing southern wise this time. For EFE Maybe a LSWR horsebox? That would be a pretty little thing... The third booster maybe? Odds are though its an efe 14xx based on the DJM tooling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted May 1 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted May 1 NEW TOOLING LEADS THE WAY IN BACHMANN’S SUMMER 2024 BRITISH RAILWAY ANNOUNCEMENTS Bachmann Europe Plc today (Wednesday 1st May 2024) presented its Summer 2024 British Railway Announcements, publishing details of new models that have been developed for its Bachmann Branchline, Graham Farish, Bachmann Narrow Gauge and EFE Rail brands. The anticipation for today’s announcements has been building since March when Bachmann shared news of two new tooling projects that it is working on – the BR 12T ‘Palvan’ in OO scale and the Anchor-Mounted Tank Wagons in N scale, for its Bachmann Branchline and Graham Farish ranges respectively. This news signalled a changed approach to Bachmann’s British Railway Announcement policy, and today details of the initial models to be produced from this new tooling have been confirmed. Where before items included in the British Railway Announcements were scheduled to arrive in the three months after each quarterly instalment, this may now not always be the case for the new projects announced in this manner. Whilst the Anchor-Mounted Tank Wagons will be arriving in shops later this month, the Palvans will not be released until the turn of the year. It will also be late-2024 when the new Bachmann Branchline BR Mk1 BSO, FO and RB coaches arrive in shops and again, details of the first models were released today after this tooling project debuted last weekend. The previously announced project to develop a new model of the BR Class 25 Diesel Locomotive for the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range has now reached its conclusion, allowing Bachmann to publish details of the first eleven models from this new tooling suite which will arrive in shops this Summer. Covering the Class 25/1, 25/2 and 25/3 locomotives, each model will be available in standard or SOUND FITTED format, or with a motorised roof fan and tinted windscreen glazing in the award-winning SOUND FITTED DELUXE format. For those looking for a smaller locomotive, the LMS Fowler 3F ‘Jinty’ Steam Locomotive and the Class 03 Diesel Shunter will be of interest – both return to the Branchline range in a selection of liveries and each with a choice of standard of SOUND FITTED versions. Another new tooling project set for delivery this Summer is the Graham Farish N scale Class 450 Electric Multiple Unit, and a new model in the contemporary South Western Railway livery has been added to the previously announced South West Trains version. Further new tooling variations appear on the 102 Ton TEA Bogie Tank Wagons, catering for wagons built with conical ends, and there are more releases of the venerable BR 20 Ton Brake Van to add the finishing touch to goods trains. Bachmann has shared the identities of the locomotives and wagons which will lead its new Bachmann Narrow Gauge NG7 range, with the complete launch range due to arrive with Bachmann stockists in the next three months. Unveiled in mid-April at the Statfold Model Railway Exhibition, NG7 marks Bachmann’s entry into the British 7mm Narrow Gauge market and the launch range comprises the Quarry Hunslet Steam Locomotives, Dinorwic Wagons, and complementary buildings and accessories from Bachmann’s Scenecraft brand. The Scenecraft range will once again broaden this Summer and new models in OO scale include a canal lock, two types of smaller station building, and for the modern scene, a GSMr Telecom Cabin and Monopole. The popular Ffestiniog Railway series is also expanding with new models of Minffordd Waiting Room, Tan-y-Bwlch Footbridge, Boston Lodge Engine Shed and Harbour Station Goods Shed all joining the 4mm scale range for use on OO9 and OO scale layouts and dioramas. The final two new tooling announcements today are for the EFE Rail OO scale range, the first of which is the Plasser 12T General Purpose Crane. A new model designed and developed for EFE Rail, the Plasser Crane has been a regular sight on the railway network since the 1970s, making it a fitting subject for EFE Rail’s first piece of ‘On Track Plant’. The final new model is the GWR ‘Bloater’ fish van which is modelled in OO scale for the first time. Built for fish traffic from 1916, the EFE Rail models cover the S8, S9 and S10 diagrams and include options for the ‘Bloater A’s which were fitted with dual braking systems. Lastly, whilst the Adams O2 has previously been released by EFE Rail, new tooling variants have been added for these OO scale locomotives, which now appear with the original, open coal rails – this option is available for both the mainland locomotives and Isle of Wight versions. The full range of products unveiled today are featured in the Summer 2024 British Railway Announcements Catalogue, this catalogue is published exclusively with the Bachmann Times – the official magazine of the Bachmann Collectors Club – and Club members receive copies of all four British Railway Announcements catalogues each year. Full details including projected release dates for all of the items announced today can also be found at www.bachmann.co.uk. Bachmann products can only be purchased from Bachmann retailers, a full listing of whom can be found on the Bachmann website. 7 16 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
