Bit annoyed with Bachmann releasing the double Mk2 TSO coach pack in BR Scotrail. I’ve had the Mk2 TSO and FK in Scotrail on pre-order for 4 years now. If Bachmann can produce the double pack now, could it not produce the previously announced ones too!?

For pre 2020 models, Bachmann update the release dates on the Bachmann website as and when necessary. The Scotrail Mk2 coaches have had an early 2023 release date since June 2022.

Given the Weathered Blue Grey SK MK1 is due May/Jun and the BSK is due Aug/Sep, I don't think it will be this announcement.

The one that they have already announced?

The tooling has, the individual models have not.

PS Will EFE also be involved in an announcement - if there is anything to announce there?

Based on previous announcements:

EFE Rail yes.

EFE Road no, wait for a MCC announement.

I didn't even realise that Hatton's had added the Hornby 2023 range even though their allocated stock is now unfortunately sold out for everything? 

 

They didn't list the 2022 range when it was originally announced, a shame really as I wonder how many missed pre orders retailers have missed? I didn't receive any emails about the 2023 range either. Nor did I about  the 2022 range. 

 

I wonder if they will get more allocated stock when the models arrive? Like they did with the Class 91s APT-Ps MK4s etc.

Although last and this year they did recive much more stock of the 2020 2021 and 2022 ranges. I like to support as many independent retailers as possible and I spread my pre orders through many retailers across the UK.

Hattons are a Tier 3 retailer. They can not order models from Hornby until the models arrive at the Hornby warehouse, assuming the models have not sold out to Tier 1 & 2 retailers.

If the post was before March/April last year then it is lost.

R30122 Departmental, Class A1 'Terrier', 0-6-0, D.S.680 - No date given

It has now arrived on the Hornby website.

I best start saving my money.

I'd just isolate the power feed to the siding with a switch. Normally the points would do this, but it depends on how they're wired.

The lighting in the Hornby Generic 4&6 wheel coaches is powered by batteries, not via the track.

According to Kernow, all the Green door Porthmadog station buildings have arrived. The Red door Porthmadog gents and office has also arrived.

Updated release dates on the Hornby website:

R3961 Isle of Wight Central Railway, Terrier Train Pack - Winter 22/23

R30122 Departmental, Class A1 'Terrier', 0-6-0, D.S.680 - No date given

R30123 K&ESR Terrier 150th Anniversary Pack - Winter 23/24

R30217 SR, 'Terrier', 0-6-0T, 662 'Martello' - Winter 23/24

I may push the button on this one when I see what Rails and Hatton are asking (typical discount seems to be about £20 from other retailers).  The £20 saving is less important than proper packing, which has been an issue with Hornby direct sales in the past.

You're going to have a long wait. Rails don't stock Hornby anymore and Hattons are tier 3 so don't get to order Hornby items until they arrive at the Hornby warehouse.

More pertinently, when did Bachmann last release it? I get the impression that Barwell is now somewhat constrained in what they can offer because they can't afford to bid high enough to get all the production capacity they would like, given the price point they would have to sell at. (They can't price too far above Hornby). A wagon that Bachmann can't find capacity to make is a good target for Hornby .

Last announced 2019, IIRC released late 2021 or early 2022.

Let’s just all hope it arrives in early 2023 as it was January 2019 when it was announced.

The Bachmann website gives release dates for models that are due between now and Aug/Sep. These are listed as 'Awaiting'.

I am listening to the original Sugababes - The Lost Tapes. I've been waiting for about a decade for this album, Christmas miracles do happen.

@Clem Screenshot of the first post of this thread with added arrow pointing at the link.

Minor update on the Bachmann website:

• LSWR Cross Country 3-Coach Packs are now due Jan/Feb (all other models previously listed as due Dec/Jan have arrived)
• Models previously listed as due Jan/Feb are now due Feb/Mar

Just got an email. Any pre-order that was held on 22 November will retrospectively be awarded reward points, however the 200 bonus points for having any pre-orders will be taken back.

R30122 DS680 in Departmental Black is shown on the Kernow website as due soon.

I see from Rails enewsletter that Peco are making grey unnumbered Quarrymans coaches and vans.
