Hi all
Do Bachmann/Graham Farish still produce their soon to be delivered lists like they used to
If yes anyone know what major models are expected this year
I understand the 8F, Class 31 a Class 55 Deltic are due in 2020 is there anything else worth a mention.
Talking Locos, not rolling stock & Buildings but if you know of anything Farish due other might be interested.
Sorry if there is a list but a quick search showed nothing recent.
Thanks
NGM
I think when they revamped their website that feature disappeared. Typical - one of the more useful bits of that site ::)
If you go to the product pages on the Bachmann website, there is an ETA column, eg. https://www.bachmann.co.uk/category/model-railway/graham-farish/diesel-locomotives (https://www.bachmann.co.uk/category/model-railway/graham-farish/diesel-locomotives) tells me that the new class 31s are due in October this year, and the class 40s are due this month.
Could get expensive!
Interesting - shows the 8F as being next month :hmmm:
Here's a list of Farish models with expected dates from their website:
8F - August 2020
N 2-6-0 - November 2020
Class 31 - October 2020
Class 40 - July 2020
Class 47 large logo versions - August 2020
Class 55 - September 2020
Class 170 - August 2020
Class 108 - February 2021
Mk1 TSO - October 2020
Mk1 BCK Network Rail yellow - October 2020
Mk1 GUV - November 2020
Mk2F - September 2020
Mk1 TSO + BCK West Highland pack - October 2020
WD Parrot - March 2021
HKA bogie hopper - August 2020
BR 16T opens - February 2021
BR 27T tipplers - January 2021
SR 12T vans - October 2020
5 plank china clay opens - February 2021
SR Queen Mary brake van - December 2020
Nothing on the class 42s which you'd think would be something easy to push out :'(
A couple of 55s there that may tempt me ;)

I love me a crimson lined Stanier, but that just looks wrong. It's an 8F, it's supposed to be black.
This was posted the other day:

I see on their website the 8F has suddenly been knocked back to October. It was listed for August
Will this ever arrive 8)

The livery shown is exactly how the loco 8624 is preserved at The Great Central Railway. I had a Driver experience on the very loco a few years ago. It may be wrong but it does bring back wonderful memories for me.

@Railwaygun (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=941) This was
not listed as an option when the 8F fleet was first advertised by Farish including the one with sound some 18 months or so ago.
As it says in the picture, "Bachmann Collectors club limited edition"
It is a Collectors club model only. They often appear later on Ebay ( at inflated prices)
It was not listed on the Bachmann shop list quoted above.
(I'm NOT on commission!)

May have to join the Collectors Club as I am tempted to have it since it brings back memories as mentioned in a previous post.
Personally I think it looks awful (exit stage left and runs for cover)
Why are the connecting rods a ghastly silver as opposed to the 'standard' issue version? See...

Not only do you have to pay to join the Collectors Club but you then pay 15% more for a model.

Model is correct for when she first steamed at Peak Rail in May 2009 until approx early 2012 by which time she was at the GCR. She moved to the Great Central March 2011 but by early 2012 they had pit her as 48624 in BR Maroon. She reverted back to Black last year to end out her ticket alongside fellow 8F 48305.

No mention on here of the green/SYP Class 37 announced early July which I thought was due early next year but Rails just say "pending" and Farish say "Awaiting."

Thanks for the clarification re dates. That ties in with my Driver Experience which I have realised was over 8 years ago. Where do the years go?
Please enlighten me as to whether the overhead wire warning insignia on the late BR version would have been seen in the south west.
I am looking forward to a certain Class 55 called "St Paddy".
Wonder why?
:D
Kind regards
Paddy
:laughabovepost:
For the same reason I decided I had to have 47701 "Saint Andrew" :angel: :beers:
i see the 8F which was showing expected Oct/Nov has now had its eta date removed, is that a good or bad sign 8)

Who knows, I always get a bit of a sinking feeling when I see something like that, it's not as if there's no "previous" for models being mysteriously removed.
Hopefully it's nothing but a short delay in updating that field on the website...
Ironically I recently joined Collector's Club, but a maroon 8F? Never in a million years on my layout!

I have ordered the maroon 8F since that is the exact livery and loco I had my loco driver experience in some 8 years ago on The Great Central Railway. Apart from the shiny rods that is.
I do wonder if the release, now due in October or November means the other scheduled liveries may be pushed further back to maybe next year?
Sunglasses 8) for the 8F valve gear, that's going to need weathered.

I quite agree. 👍
8F ETA now back as Oct/Nov on the Bachmann Website. EFE Mermaids also Oct/Nov.
