I would guess more will be announced in November, assuming the ETA for the 2018 announced models doesn't change dramatically.

Any idea on when these are due? Website still says January which seems optimistic 

1. The Bachmann website was updated today and still says 'Jan/Feb'.

2. The time between the livery samples of the RNAD wagons being shown and their release is about the same as the Ashover coaches livery samples being shown and their current ETA.

Due Jan/Feb according to the Bachmann website

The Bachmann website has been updated.

This has been stuck in my head for the last two weeks.

There is already a six page thread 

Release dates are on the Bachmann website.

Is the 009 RNAD wagon going to be the new free wagon with membership? Just wondering as I need to renew but can’t see the wagon on the collectors club website yet and will hold off if necessary, not really interested in the wagons shown

As I understand it, the wagon is the model for 2023/24 membership year. IIRC the year starts in July.

Indeed Bachmann did quite correct, the model they released in around 2001 has been out of production for some years now. Not a DCC ready chassis

Bachmann announced a new tooling of the 170 in 2018. In 2020 it was withdrawn from the catalogue, with the statement issued implying that it is still being worked on.

Other models that were withdrawn from the Bachmann catalogue include the class 20 (replaced by new tooling) and class 47 (also replaced by new tooling).

My picture

They are aware that 5322 is a bit light

Seriously - is there any chance that 4mm modellers could drop this attitude to people who model in other scales?

You quoted a N gauge modeller.

Summer 2023 Product Announcements

Although it seems like our Spring announcements were only made yesterday, it's that time again as we invite you to join us for the next instalment of British Railway Announcements. Premiering tomorrow, we have another bumper set of new items to share with you across multiple scales and covering many eras. With some of these new items already in stock and ready to be dispatched later this month, and with our full Summer collection scheduled to arrive in the next few months, be sure to tune in and see what will be arriving on retailers' shelves in the coming weeks. With three new Bachmann Collectors Club Limited Edition models too, we hope you're as excited as we are for our Summer announcements.

So decorated samples could quite well be in this announcement 

If you are referring to the YouTube announcement video, no it's for models that are due this quarter that have not previously been announced.

If you are referring to an update in the club magazine, that arrives on club members doormats a day or two later, maybe.

My predictions, based on the release dates of pre 2020 models

OO gauge - we find out the full extent of the Class 40 upgrade

N gauge - additional runs of models including LNER J39, BR 5MT, BR Class 14 and BR Mk1 coaches.

My predictions:

*It's new tooling.

*It's probably in or on its way to the Bachmann warehouse.

Looks like the Bug Boxes in FR Red are due next.
