Just seen 'Model Railway Express'  19 July--''a significant new model announcement will be made at the Bachmann Members' Club Open Day at the Bluebell Railway on 31 August''. Nothing to suggest which gauge but bound to be of interest to N-gaugers eventually.

H class perhaps? Now that WOULD be nice.

Totally agree Colin; strange that this quite numerous class (54) has been overlooked so far. An 'Arthur' (65 of them) would be nice too!

a 6 car TPU dmu certainly would fall into the significant category.........

 

they wouldnt venture into TT gauge would they?

I doubt  they  would  want  to  invest  in  another  scale  and  TT can't really  be classed  as  a  volume sales producer.

They do have an SR mogul somewhere in the pipeline, Hattons and Rails have had it on pre order for some time. If it's something else then yes an N gauge Arthur is long long overdue, or any SR 4-6-0 come to that, Nelson, S15, H15,N15X even a T14. Dapol have the Schools announced, although no mention of Maunsell green, only Mala*hite or BR. Some proper Grouping coaching stock would also be welcome. Dapol mentioned Maunsells when they started producing N gauge, we're still waiting!

It might just be an extension of the range of models in the scenecraft range? Perhaps an expansion into n gauge for their Bluebell range. If you look at the location where this is taking place and the rolling stock located at the Bluebell and the gaps in the market. It could be a Maunsell Q class ( only available in kit form) or a Wainwright H class ( OO works already manufactured this model) or the Adams Radial tank ( OO works again ). The one I would most surprised with would be a Maunsell U class but this will never happen. Another new model is better than no new models.
