Bachmann Europe | British Railway Announcements | WINTER 2023 [CC]

Please, a BR Standard 3MT 77XXX 2-6-0 🙏

A great range of products this winter, very pleased with my new class 158, also, is there any update on the OO gauge class 170 retool?

Why are there no products shown on the website..nothing available? nothing being produced? No annual catalogue anymore? Yet prices keep soaring for no reason!

Some really nice products announced here, particularly the OO 37s. Could I ask if there are any future plans for more Deltic releases in OO scale please? I appreciate that one of your competitors have been releasing lots of very expensive versions, but I hope you'll continue producing models of these iconic locos. I've 13 of them in my collection and would love to see a couple more done in BR Blue from the early 80s - maybe 55021 Argyll and Sutherland Highlander and a thoroughly weathered version of 55010 The King's Own Scottish Borderer, minus one nameplate...just a couple of ideas for you.

The Southern Railway Booster locomotives are an excellent idea, how are you making the sound files for these?

With the Ivatt 2-6-0 2MT having been withdrawn from the Branchline line-up and, with it having been added to the Graham Farish line-up, are we going to see it retooled and re-released in OO??

How about a 304 or 310 EMU in 00 the market is crying out for something like these

Are the 158 sounds based on the Perkins or the Cummings engine?

Thanks Bachmann, nice to see N gauge has not come off short. Looking forward to the new Brush 47´s but wouldn´t buy the ones shown, as I would prefer a green one with the original D --- loco number. I have the class 40 with sound and if the class 47 is as good, then it will be a stunner. Still waiting for the class 101, 108 DMU in green with whiskers!

Do you know if you’ll be on the Isle of Wight

any chance of a 'Blue Train' 303 ? n gauge :)

The SR locos are very nice but very Neach, who love to see LT Battery Loco, I would have at least 2 and I know of lots of others who would have them

So in N gauge they are not releasing any new steam models .... again! They seem to repaint older releases but have never produced a Southern Merchant Navy or an LMS Coronation. I assume because they would have to produce another batch and currently BR is king. I don't think Santa will be putting anything new in my stocking!

I might well go for some 009 gear!! My fiancée is from Porthmadog and her father works on the Ffestiniog Railway.

The kinda news that makes me want to move across the pond

I saw some of the N scale items at Gaydon event the other day and that little GWR set looked a brilliant N gauge started set.

Would like the N scale products in a separate presentation for two reasons.
One to reduce wasted time skipping past irrelevant to most announcements in a scale they do not model

Two , to gauge the relative popularity of the two major scales.

Time for a TT 120 loco from yourselves? Please

I’m really glad the 94xx is coming back, as I’ve heard great things about them, but missed out in the first run. That Bulied Electric Loco looks interesting as well, and I’m glad that you are now making full brakes to go with the Thompson coaches. I’m also interested in the Class 20 with the red solebar, which I wasn’t necessarily expecting to say, given how many Class 20s have already been announced and released.

I was hoping for a new tooled steam locomotive though, as it has been absolutely ages since you have announced one. I don’t mind waiting, but there is evidently market for you to make more, as that is the biggest request I’ve seen in the comments. I’d personally like to see some more LBSCR locos, such as the L Class, I2/4, B4/B4X and possibly a new E2. I also think that it would be nice to have some more LNWR stock to complement your Coal Tank and Precedent, not to mention the fact the Rapido and Hattons have new LNWR rolling stock, so I’d like to see the LNWR Claughton, 2665 Class, and Bloomer Class. Seeing as the E1 and O Class from the NER were recently announced as well I think it would be nice to see the NER A2, R Class, E5, and Class U.

In OO9, I would like to see more Double Fairlies (especially James Spooner in the plum livery), possibly a Single Fairlie to complement, and more Quarry Hunslets in some new liveries. I’d also like to see more Talyllyn locomotives, although it looks like Bachmann USA could be working on that.

Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the Spring Announcements in 2024!

Interesting to see the Southern Railway electric locomotives - but the designer's name is BULLEID, not Bullied!

What has happened to the 00 scale Bulleid coaches in BR/SR green, I have been waiting for what seems like an eternity. I know there has been the odd one or two in this livery but not enough to make a set ? you seem to have put more effort into the less popular blood and custard livery! If you have the tooling why don't you produce them??

Class 4 cep unpowered be nice to see .. try buying for a 12 coach train ?

I cannot work out why there are no plans to model the OO gauge mk2f coaches in BR Scotrail Executive livery to complement the DBSO, mk1 BG & mk2z coaches released in recent years🤔🫣

Are you planning any TT120 for next year????

hi Bachmann, thanks for producing the southern railway electric locos i can't believe it at last ! these locos hold a special memory for me,as a child i used to see them go past Lewes station in the early 60s they were on the Newhaven boat train, none have been preserved all cut up around 1969,

Some great announcements however as a UK Thomas fan I am abit disappointed that there's no announcements of new products brought into the UK range like Diesel, Emily, Duck, Rosie, Oliver or any of the other engines or rolling stock available in HO scale in the US

Cool, also, is there going to be any more TFW stuff like a 150 or an Ex arriva trains wales 143?

It might pay you to show oo or n gauge on your products shown

The name Buleid is pronounced BLADE. MY friend at school and his family pronounced it like this.. thankyou.

Good call with the CC1 and CC2. I notice that the grey version hasn't got the vaccuum pipes at either end. Will this be rectified?

Where are the proposed class 69s???? Long overdue now, a good 2 years now.

Nice refurbished CEPs surely the front end gangways should have an elongated "U" pressed steel shroud around the sides of the gangways? They did when I drove them for BR and NSE. If the Jaffa livery is for the 1987 era on Tonbridge - Charing Cross/ Cannon St services you need to add the black line between orange/ brown and brown/orange. The 6 digit 411xxx only applied to half a dozen units ex Swindon, the first ones out , they soon dropped the 41 off. If I remember rightly 411513 was one of the last, definitely remember 411506/508/510-513

Love the Class 20's and 37's plus Class 411's EMu's

Still no Tyne and Wear metro. The market is crying out for them but all we get is Bludy class 47s n other crap. Retool this retool that how bout make something new 4 once. Rant over. Just kidding

Wow - that's brilliant news about the 4-CEP announcements!

Are Bachmann destined never to produce another new steam tooling in 00? I mean, it’s a lovely selection of locos - but It’s a bit disappointing every announcement to see endless reliveries of already mass produced prototypes (well - mostly renumberings of long existing liveries, actually!). I could have created any of them a week before this announcement with a cocktail stick and couple of decals! I appreciate there may be a bit more detail with latest toolings; but it would great to see company energies go in to some of the many massive gaps in RTR prototypes - Bulldog, Saint, Metro Tank, Aberdare, Buffalo, Great Bear, Aspinall 27 / 28, Cauliflower, 2F, 3P 2-6-2T, LNWR 4-4-0, Claughton, Spinner, Kirtley 2-4-0, D34 Glen, K4, D40, J21, J6, B16, E4, F5, Henry Oakley, Gladstone, T3, Maunsell U, Q, W, Remembrance Tank, I3 4-4-2T, K, C2X, SECR O1, 0395, H15, Austerity 2-10-0, 77xxx, 84xxx…

Surprise us for Spring maybe? 🎉

Hi, Bachmann. Given that the Ashover Light Railway coaches are finally being released, is there any chance of a further run of ALR Baldwins? Or any other 10-12-D's for that matter...?

Nice to see the refurb CEPs and the addition of the Jaffa Cake livery.
A 4SUB would be a great addition to run alongside the original CEPs and 2EPBs you produced. Effectively just two vehicle types in a 4car formation. Maybe also an opportunity to bring out a 3car Thumper set, plus a separate centre car for those of us who already have the 2car units.
Isn't it time for a 313 and/or 508 model in 00? Both classes have been used by various TOCs in different regions, so would hopefully have a wide appeal. Also a class 74, they ventured beyond Southern metals on duties like coal traffic from Acton (GW) to Tolworth or Chessington via Kensington Olympia.

I say, any chance of making a new tooled OO steam engine? Feels like it’s been a while since you did one that wasn’t a retailer exclusive

Nothing again my card will stay in my pocket no GWR n gauge again being left out.

Thanks Bachmann 👍 lots of lovely new N Gauge models coming our way 😁 particularly the GWR Class 158 and the HRA's 😍 looking forward to seeing the new 47's too 👍 I'm still hoping you will add a Europheonix 37 at some stage 🤞 I'm sure it would be very popular 😇 Very best wishes from Ireland

At last a triple grey class 20 with lights superb edition, the full brake Thompson teak coach looks very good indeed, it’s a shame there isn’t any new RTC livery items a class 08 in RTC livery with lighting would have been amazing, there are some very nice items coming out from Bachmann i with the Railtrack JJA auto ballaster would come back at a reduced price.

As expected nothing exciting with a wow factor. Just new liveried existing models etc. Yawn. 🥱

Am I the only one waiting for renewed availability of the Bachmann 158 DMU in GWR livery? Vote me up if you are too.

Weathering on the 102T TEA looks rather... erm... photoshopped 😂

Some nice goodies in that announcement though

Hi Bachmann
Consider always providing class 20s with an appropriately numbered second option to pair with.
Better still, arguably, an unnumbered option?

1959 tube just been launched by lt museum 👍🏻

Good stuff

Where’s the new narrow gauge? Winter is the time, right?

super
