oreamnos Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Living in California I can't attend UK exhibitions or pick the brains of fellow British outline modellers in person, and while I subscribe to Railway Modeller and and Model Rail (but not BRM) - and of course I read this board - I have seen nothing about a re-tooled Class 40 in N gauge except perhaps a mention on the occasional "wish-list" type post. Given that Bachmann have recently re-tooled its OO Class 40, is there any well-founded "word on the street" about a new 40 from Farish in the works? Or is the absence of news in this instance really mean there is no news? That would be a pity. I should mention that I am doing my part to help make a retooled 40 a reality by going to the trouble of fitting split head codes to one of my old Farish 40s using an old Kingdom Kits whitemetal kit (pics of the half-completed project below). I expect that as soon as I finish the conversion Farish will make an announcement! Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at C&M Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The announcement for the 2013 Graham Farish range will be in early March, so your patience until then will hopefully be rewarded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreamnos Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Nope. I'm looking at the announced 2013-14 range and no new Class 40. In fact, no Class 40 at all. Looks like the old model has finally been dropped. Or on second thought, perhaps Farish will just continue to offer it in the old liveries. http://www.mremag.com/news/article/graham-farish-new-releases-2013-14/14789 I suppose Farish could make a surpise announcement in the fall, rather like they did with the Class 14 a few years ago.

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted March 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2013 Given it has been announced in 4mm I suspect it is just a matter of patience... Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted March 20, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2013 Agreed. Given the new OO gauge model from Bachmann I'd be very suprised if it doesn't feature in next year's Farish catalogue. Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
