It would also have been nice to have a summary of all the new items listed in the new product announcement.

Have a look here, sorry to link to another forum guys -

Bit of a joke on the build up to this announcement! Looks like they are playing catch up this year for all unreleased previous items instead.
Oh well at least it's easy street on the wallet, however I think Farish have missed the trick with different liveries of existing models.

Any new figures announced in scenecraft?

I was kind of hoping there'd be some more pre Grouping locos and coaches, some GC or Midland stuff maybe. Things that maybe go well with the Scenecraft buildings.
Maybe next year?

Well it is only a short wait until the 2015 catalogue, I think.  Should be due in March 2015, although with all the items still in the pipeline maybe we won't see many new items until production has caught up with what has been promised so far...

I don't get why they are doing new 158's, unless that is telling us that we aren't getting a retooled one for a while!

Sorry for double post/sounding like a moron, what's a Dynamis Ultima DCC System?

The City of Bradford Princess Coronation in black looks nice.

Not a whole lot, but there are still lots from last year still to be released.

The original Dynamis was discontinued because some of the components were no longer available. Bachmann thought about axing it altogether but have apparently decided to have it redesigned.

Ahh, that answers my question! 

I believe the Dynamis Ultima will be like the standard ESU unit which is available in the US called the Navigator as is effectively the UK dynamis and pro box together.

Quite happy as theres very little id be tempted with but some of the buildings look good value!

Shouldn't all these new announcements be on their own website rather than on a third party forum at least half the modelling community probably don't use? (me for one!) There's very little on the Bachmann website from what I can see

I think their intention is to announce a couple of things at a time on their website. If you look at the online catalogue it's all in there...

Is the Merchant Navy and Railcar new tooling or are they just re releases of old stuff?

Also a new version of the class 171 Southern DMU for the same reasons.

I too am pleased to see this make a return - in 00 as well as N. Different running number from the first release is a good thing also. Pity the four-car is not being produced however...

Merchant Navy was announced in last year's catalogue; so it is new tooling and not a re-issue of the Poole model.

I guess the railcar is the old model since it hasn't been specifically mentioned as a new model.  But the chassis must be new/modified if it comes with a DCC socket.
