NEW PRODUCTS FOR WINTER 2021 UNVEILED BY BACHMANN EUROPE Bachmann Europe Plc today showcased a host of new products in N, OO, OO9 and O scale with the launch of the Winter British Railway Announcements. Amongst the new items, which are all due to hit Bachmann stockists’ shelves over the next three months, there were several surprises alongside some much-requested models like the DCC ready N scale diesel shunters and further Class 90s from Bachmann Branchline. Bachmann Narrow Gauge has reaffirmed its position as a leading name in British-outline OO9 scale with the introduction of the iconic Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie as its next OO9 locomotive. The most recognisable narrow gauge locomotive of them all, the Bachmann Narrow Gauge Double Fairlie captures the unique beauty of the prototype in miniature. Three models will be available which incorporate locomotive- and era-specific details, completed by the exquisite livery application using Ffestiniog Railway-specification colours along with authentic crests and symbols. The high specification chassis incorporates a coreless motor with twin flywheels driving both bogies, all-wheel pick up, separate metal bearings on each axle and a Next18 DCC decoder socket with pre-fitted speaker. The three models will be available this November in standard or SOUND FITTED format. New Class 03 and 04 Diesel Shunters were revealed for the Graham Farish N scale range, and for the first time these are equipped with a DCC decoder socket. In order to fit within the minute space inside the models, Bachmann also published details of a new DCC decoder – the 6 Pin Micro DCC Loco-Decoder (36-571) – which is the perfect fit for the new Class 03 and Class 04s. Like other Bachmann DCC decoders, this new decoder also includes the Brake Button function. In addition, the Class 150/1 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) appears in BR Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive livery for the first time, along with a SOUND FITTED version of the Class 101 DMU in the iconic BR Green ‘Speed Whiskers’ livery. In OO scale the Bachmann Branchline Class 90 returns by popular demand, and four new liveries adorn this stunning model. Combining a highly accurate and detailed body shell with an authentic chassis and bogies – each featuring a wealth of separately fitted detail – the Bachmann Branchline Class 90 also incorporates authentic lighting and a finely-rendered Pantograph which can be raised or lowered via the built-in servo motor when operated on DCC. SOUND FITTED versions of each are also available which, like all Bachmann SOUND FITTED models, can be enjoyed on both DCC and Analogue control. For those wishing to fit a DCC decoder to a standard model, a new decoder configured specifically for these new Class 90s has been announced (36-569A). Two new Class 150 DMUs also appear, including the Class 150/2 which features the windows in the cab-end corridor doors, as fitted to the units when first built, for the first time. New from EFE Rail this Winter is a range of OO scale SPA and SEA Wagons, the latter featuring the distinctive hood, and no fewer than 13 models will be available in a variety of liveries. The Scenecraft range is expanded with the addition of several seaside-themed items, including two Holiday Coaches, a seaside Café and Lifeguards Hut, helping consumers reminisce about summer holidays of days gone by. Numerous Low Relief models return to the range by popular demand, along with the Coach Washing Plant, while in O scale the Sectional Lineside Hut is available once again. N scale additions include the Parachute Water Tower and Fuelling Pump House, plus several handy accessories like the Lineside Cabinets and Small Kiosk. Like every Scenecraft model, these new items are all highly detailed and hand decorated making them the perfect choice to add instant impact and realism to any layout or diorama. To coincide with the launch of the Bachmann Narrow Gauge Double Fairlie, the Bachmann Collectors Club announced its next Exclusive model and its first in OO9 scale – Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie 'David lloyd George' in Ffestiniog Railway Lined Red livery. To cater for the growing number of OO9 scale consumers, a new OO9 Scale Membership option is also now available which provides the same extensive benefits that are enjoyed by all Club members. Full details of the new items for Winter 2021 can be found in the British Railway Announcements Catalogue, produced as part of the Bachmann Times and available exclusively to members of the Bachmann Collectors Club. In addition to the new items unveiled today, many other products are scheduled to arrive during the next three months and projected release dates for many Bachmann products can be found at www.bachmann.co.uk.

Why don't you contact the retailer you purchased them from if you don't feel they are right?

It's a few years since my last visit when passing unfortunately but Les was always on good form when I did. Very sorry to hear that news.

You don't say!? Ok, I've had enough.

Where do you get your ludicrous generalisations from? Have you now invented a strategic reserve of layouts in Box Tunnel? Any more rot and I'll just remove your access to the topic

How many times does it needed to be repeated that things are done for TV? It'll be the second Monday.

Making such banal statements means that there's no credence to your other opinions.

Statistical evidence from Google Analytics shows little difference in traffic levels. You seem to be keen on being negative about it and we are working on the ad-free solution still (and I hope you take that option up) but in the meantime those annoying ads are paying for you and everyone else to use the site free of charge.

In N maybe but certainly not OO.

It's a few weeks since I've spoken to him but he's OK. He's had quite a lot on his plate and some tech issues. He is down at Gaydon show this weekend with his lovely little 009 layout.

The side elevation shots are taken against a white background and it's far less prominent when on a layout and viewed from normal angles. There is some adjustment, one thing that hinders movement far fmore are the cab doors, if fitted.

I'd installed similar in a kitchen with the same annoying results. I noticed that there was more heat build-up around the connector sockets than you'd expect. This tallies with the observed blackening. When we moved I put LEDs in and none have failed so far in 4 years.

You've been taking a sneaky look at 'my' pole!! How very dare you? A salutary lesson there about posting pictures of your pole on the internet, it may come back to haunt you.

I completely agree that there is an absence of any real leadership or role modelling and the populace is generally left to make everything up for themselves now and pick and choose what they want which is why we are where we are.

I'd best not post any images of its magnificence and unusual attributes then.

Undoubtedly politics come into the equation in here and Nearholmer has adequately summarised a framework for it. Most people aren't particularly partisan and the criticisms would be levelled at whoever the government was at that point in time. None of us know where the leader of the opposition contracted it from; his local pub, one of the many palace of Westminster bars, a member from the opposite benches (they do talk) etc? I've had people accuse me of political bias through these topics - just for the record I have never voted Labour but there are some within that party that I respect immensely and there are decisions made by the government (that I didn't vote for last time) that I vehemently disagree with. I'm centrist and with an interest in what a candidate can do for a constituency as much as they can whilst having voting powers. Across all parties I respect conviction politics and do not like political opportunism, whatever the colour.

It would still be lost on some! (Fully paid up TPAS member having had 'Pole of the Month' once - pleased me more than a lot of stuff I have in the mags).

All retail models will have disc wheels.

Oh the irony.

I can wholeheartedly sympathise. The most bizarre incident I had was with an Australian retailer stealing one of my pics of a pre-production livery sample of a product for use for their eBay store to try and take orders before the item was even released. I asked for it to be removed and they complained to Warners saying that they would sue for me trying to damage their business; timewasters as well as being legally very dubious.

Fat chance!

I've learnt something new today!

Could we settle on cheese scones? I luv'em.
