Andy Y Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Bachmann launches 2015/16 programmes Bachmann Europe Plc having reached its 25th anniversary year in 2014 has again announced a number of exciting new developments across various scales. Graham Hubbard, Managing Director of Bachmann Europe Plc, said today “as a company we continue to meet new challenges. Our parent company, Kader Industries, has faced a major reorganisation which involved transferring plant and production from a former factory into the main Kader complex. Faced with continuing price rises across the board, we have taken some difficult decisions but will continue to produce top quality products to meet the increasing demands of railway modellers”. The new products announced today are: 94xx Class 0-6-0T The Great Western Railway, and later British Railways, constructed more than 2,400 0-6-0 Pannier Tank locomotives, a type synonymous with the GWR. Instantly recognisable by their extended smoke-box, 210 of the 94xx class locomotives were built to the design of F W Hawksworth, with construction beginning in 1947. The first ten examples were the very last locomotives to be built by the GWR at Swindon, with British Railways employing private contractors to construct a further 200 examples. Although the model is brand new to Bachmann Branchline - it is not the first time that a Bachmann company has produced a 94xx. Graham Farish produced a OO model between 1961 and 1979 which has not been available for many years. 35-025 94xx Class 0-6-0T No. 9402 in GWR Green 35-026 94xx Class 0-6-0T No. 9487 in BR Black with early emblem 35-207 94xx Class 0-6-0T No. 9479 in BR Black with late crest Return of the J72 0-6-0T The J72 was the first locomotive which launched Bachmann Branchline on to the UK market 25 years ago. Due to the split chassis design and its inability to easily accommodate DCC, the locomotive has not appeared in the range since it appeared as part of the Kader 60th Anniversary set. The J72 returns with a new chassis that will have an 6PIN decoder socket fitted. Designed by Wilson Wordsell for the North Eastern Railway as the E1 Class, 113 locomotives were built between 1898 and 1951, the last under British Railways ownership. The LNER designated them J72 Class after 1924. The first withdrawal took place in 1958 and the last in revenue service was taken out of traffic in 1964. Two remained in Departmental Service until 1966/7 with one of them Departmental No. 59 being preserved as ‘Joem’ and carrying its former British Railways No. 69023. It currently works on the Wensleydale Railway. 31-060 J72 Class 0-6-0T No. 8680 in LNER Lined Green 31-061 J72 Class 0-6-0T No. 69001 in BR Black with early emblem 31-062 J72 Class 0-6-0T No. 69028 in BR Black with late crest Class 450 Desiro The Class 450 is a member of the Desiro family for which Bachmann Branchline already produce the Class 350 variants, the Class 450 EMUs were built by Siemens for South West Trains. A total of 127 four car units are currently in traffic on SWT long distance routes in and out of London Waterloo. 31-040 Class 450 No. 450073 in South West Trains livery 31-041 Class 450 No. 450127 in South West Trains livery (weathered) Class 70/8 The latest development of the Class 70 is the 70/8 version with 10 locomotives now in traffic with Colas Rail. This model differs from the initial releases by the addition of air duct boxes on each side and a revised cab design. The air duct boxes are also being fitted retrospectively to some Freightliner locomotives. 31-590 Class 70 No. 70015 in Freightliner livery with air duct boxes 31-591 Class 70 No. 70805 in Colas livery with air duct boxes LNWR Coal Tank Although announced exclusively at the Bachmann Collectors Club open day last August, the Webb coal tank makes its first appearance in the Bachmann Branchline catalogue this year. First introduced in 1881, 300 were built over a 16 year period. Originally intended for heavy freight work, these locomotives were found to be well suited to passenger traffic and would soon find employment on branch line passenger services. 35-050 Webb Coal Tank 0-6-2T No. 1054 in LNWR plain Black 35-051 Webb Coal Tank 0-6-2T No. 7841 in LMS Black 35-052 Webb Coal Tank 0-6-2T No. 58900 in BR Black with early emblem V2 upgrade Benefitting from a new DCC compliant chassis in 2012, it is now the turn of the body moulding to receive new tooling. 31-566 V2 Class 2-6-2 No. 3645 in LNER Black 31-567 V2 Class 2-6-2 No. 60881 in BR Lined Green with late crest Parallel Boilered Royal Scot and J39 go DCC The original Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 and the J39 Class 0-6-0 locomotives will return to the catalogue with new chassis which will contain DCC sockets. 31-285 Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 No. 6130 ‘The West Yorkshire Regiment’ in LMS Crimson 31-286 Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 No. 46163 ‘Civil Service Rifleman’ in British Railways Black 31-287 Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 No. 46151 ‘The Royal Horse Guardsman’ in BR Green (early emblem) The above will have 21PIN sockets 31-866 J39 Class 0-6-0 No. 1803 in LNER Black 31-867 J39 Class 0-6-0 No. 64792 in BR Black with early emblem The above will have 8PIN sockets Bachmann did state that a J50 and an S15 would have been announced but those plans were revised and other items included instead. New steam crane A new Ransomes & Rapier 45 Ton steam powered crane is the key item of rolling stock to be introduced this year. These were found performing a number of duties throughout the British railway network on civil engineering and derailment work. When not in service these cranes were stabled at key motive power depots. With steam cranes remaining in operation throughout the 1970s and some lasting into the 1980s, many examples were purchased by heritage railways following withdrawal and now undertake duties such as lifting locomotive boilers and installing new track formations. Our model features a manually operated jib and hook whilst the crane body also rotates on the chassis. 38-800 45 Ton crane in SR Black livery 38-801 45 Ton crane in GWR Black livery 38-802 45 Ton crane in BR Black livery with early emblem 38-803 45 Ton crane in BR Red livery NEW Scenecraft Buildings, Accessories & Figures 36-410 Roadside technicians 36-412 Modern farming figures 36-413 1940s/1950s Arable Farming figures 36-414 1940s/1950s Livestock Farming figures 44-259 Low Relief office block 44-260 Low Relief local garage 44-261 Low Relief Station Hotel 44-262 Low Relief cinema 44-263 Low Relief ‘Nicks Barbers’ shop 44-264 Low Relief ‘Hines Hair & Beauty’ shop 44-265 Low Relief block of flats 44-266 Low Relief ‘The Cod Father’ fish and chip shop 44-267 Low Relief corner pub 44-268 Low Relief weather boarded warehouse 44-269 Low Relief cement board warehouse 44-270 Low Relief Municpal Building 44-568 Quayside walls 44-569 Quayside walls with steps 44-570 Quayside corners 44-571 Fresh Fish stall 44-572 Midland water crane 44-573 Platform monitors and cameras 44-574 Colour light signal with left and right feather and route indicator options 44-575 4 Lever open ground frame 44-576 Banner repeater signal 44-578 Passenger information screen 44-579 Narrow gauge slate loads for wagons 44-580 Dry stone walling and gate 44-0019 Thatched cottage 44-0020 The Jackdaw pub 44-0021 Rural workers cottages 44-0022 Corrugated goods shed 44-0023 Station building 44-0024 Station Waiting room 44-0025 Brick lineside hut 44-0026 Electrical relay room 44-0027 Rural bus depot 44-0028 Weighbridge 44-0029 Wooden engine shed 44-0030 Farmhouse 44-0031 Wooden lamp hut 44-0032 28ft static caravan 44-0033 Two road engine shed 44-0034 Depot crew room 44-0035 Wooden carriage shed 44-0036 Yard crane and loading gauge 44-0037 Narrow gauge water tower 44-0038 Narrow gauge loco shed 44-0039 Fishing net lofts 44-0040 Toilet block 44-0041 Rail over river bridge 44-0042 Timber and stone signal box 44-0043 Waiting room and Ladies 44-0044 Concrete Footbridge 44-0045 Suburban station building 44-0046 Corner store 44-0047 Corner florist shop 44-0048 Narrow gauge stone station halt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenman Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Great to see a new body on the V2. But the Class 158 - announced in 2012 - hasn't even left the Drawing Office yet?? I wonder when, or if, any of these will see the light of day. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

County of Yorkshire Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 A 94XX! I wonder if we'll see a spike in Paddington layouts in front bedrooms across the country? The steam crane is also welcome; I'll be getting a GWR liveried one of those! But in terms of GWR coaching stock, back to the kits... If there is a whinge to be made, it's that there's no new pre-nationalisation coaching stock at all - I thought Bullieds or Colletts would have featured. And absolutely no re-liveries of existing GWR motive power - I want a Modified Hall in Hawksworth livery! CoY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil gollin Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 . Well, certainly a surprise with no "show stopper" (or Merchant Navy - so just why were Hornby so churlish ?) Fascinating to see the "Desiro" announced - it being though that 4-car multiple units were too expensive, they go and do a five car one ! ( At least it means that a 4-COR isn't too unlikely. ) The 45-ton crane is the star for me - EXCELLENT. (P.S. where is the 4-COR ? ) . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now glad that I haven't succumbed to a V2 yet though! Also quite like the sound of the crane might just have to build a BR breakdown train. Well played Bachmann, well played.
