Quote from: Ensign Elliott on <strong>Today</strong> at 11:39:18 AMI'll continue to wish for a King and a 10xx County, though a 94xx would be lovely too, and possibly more realistic considering it was one of the first locos made by Farish back in the day and due for a modern upgrade.

I'd love to see any steam loco that ISN'T GWR.....

I still have 2 x 94xx panniers (ref 1105). They still run quite well but definitely lack the looks of later panniers from Farish and Dapol. I'd certainly buy a newer one

The 94xx Pannier was the very first Graham Farish loco in N released in 1970 and an ever present in the range right into the Bachmann era of the early "noughties". After the Lima A1A-A1A diesel it was also the second N gauge loco I ever owned (in GW green back then of course  :) ).

I do have one of the originals (below), which was pretty decent for the time and not to be confused with the plug together plastic chassis version with layshaft that came along sometime around 72/73 which was truly awful. It still runs albeit noisily, not bad for a 56 year old loco.



If a new tool 94xx were ever to be announced, I'd have onr purely for nostalgic reasons.

The reps on their stand at the GBMRS show last week wouldn't say anything, just that there would be the regular update.

Quote from: Bob G on <strong>Today</strong> at 12:07:54 AMNo idea what to expect. Has anyone heard anything embargoed yet?

Only the stuff on their social media which is teasers in the countdowns. But these will cover OO as well as N.

Quote from: PLD on <strong>Today</strong> at 07:46:10 AMI'm hearing that Yet Again, they've overlooked the Algerian 7ft 4in gauge cammel hauled tramways... Who wouldn't want one of those tripple-decker trailers...  ;)

Depends on which livery they offer  :smiley-laughing:

Probably Desert Sand!

There have been no pre-announcements of new tool models in any scale so I wouldn't expect anything of significance new tooling wise to be announced across the different scales personally.

Bachmann are usually pretty good at keeping things under wraps and thus far all I have seen is an ever growing "wishlist" on RM Web.
