Graham Farish - All time model list?

[ScottishModeller]

Hi all,

Trying to find out about the models produced by Graham Farish, then Farish prior to the Bachmann take over.

I have an old link but it's no longer active and apparently was shut down about 10 years ago.

Internet Wayback machine only has links to the title pages with nothing any deeper from the site.

So - am I missing a new site with a listing or is there nothing curreently?

Thanks

This site might help with Graham Farish.

ngauge.org lists diesel and electric era models.

A lot of the old catalogues can be found here:

I find the N Gauge Now Collectors Guides very helpful as well. Separate ones for:-

Passenger stock
Freight Stock
Locomotives/MUs

Not all may be available now

If in doubt, just ask 'the collective'

The links bit worth enquiring

Ramsay's British Model Trains Catalogue (9th edition, 2015 – last one published) has a lot of information.  A digital version can be purchased for £19.99 here:

https://pocketmags.com/british-railway-modelling-magazine/ramsays-guide-to-model-trains-9th-edition

The information provided in this catalogue includes manufacturer catalogue number, railway company, livery, running number, and date introduced.

In addition to original Graham Farish (Poole) and Graham Farish by Bachmann, the catalogue also includes lists from other British N gauge manufacturers including Arnold by Hornby, Dapol, DJ Models, Ixion, Lima (British), Lone Star, Mathieson, Minitrix (British), Peco, Union Mills, and Wrenn Micromodels. 

As others have mentioned above, Engee Publishing (i.e., Howard Foy of N Gauge Now magazine) publishes reference books on N gauge locomotives, coaches (produced between 1967-2020), and freight wagons (1967-2020) as follows:

The Collector's Guide to British Passenger Rolling Stock is available here:

https://www.ngaugemodelling.co.uk/ourshop/prod_7541447-COLLECTORS-GUIDE-TO-BRITISH-PASSENGER-ROLLING-STOCK-IN-N-GAUGE-19672020.html

The Collector's Guide to British Freight Rolling Stock is available here:

https://www.ngaugemodelling.co.uk/ourshop/prod_7693856-COLLECTORS-GUIDE-TO-BRITISH-FREIGHT-ROLLING-STOCK-IN-N-GAUGE-19672020.html

The Spotter's Guide to British Locomotives and Other Motive Power in N gauge is out of print but I understand that it is scheduled to be updated and available at TINGS 2024. 

While the above publications from Engee Publishing do contain errors, they are still a valuable guide to anyone wanting to trace a particular model.  Howard Foy encourages comments and corrections (and I have sent him a few).

Hi guys,

OK - so I've started going through the linjks and have found a lot of the information I am seeking.

Why am I seeking 'old' information?

I recently tried to answer someones query and needed to refer back in time...

I went to my 'paper archive' of Graham Farish and Farish catalogues (all catalogues and promotional material going right back to the first N Gauge leaflet produced) only to find that most were falling apart, deteriorated over time due to being in a non controlled environment (the Loft).

So, not wanting to just lose the information - that is why I am asking about other sources for the information I had on paper.

Thanks for your help - most appreciated!
