Announced today are:

MK1 POT Mail stowage van (built 1968)

D600/Class41 Diesel Hydraulic (EFE Brand)

An excellent announcement for the scale.  Neither suitable for myself, sadly, but a good indicator of the Farish view of the health of N Gauge.

There's a second part to the footage we reordered now live on the NGN YouTube channel where we talk about N Gauge more generally and some of Richard's modelling interests:

Huge thanks to Richard for spending the time doing the recording. We probably could have gone on for longer but we filled the memory cards as it was!

Great news on those 2 models for me, but my wallet is already wailing ;D

I have to say I'm impressed by the attitude of producing very limited class numbers by Bachmann Farish and EFE e.g. the recent superb LMS twins and now this class of only 5 early 'Warships'
It gives me hope for a 'Falcon', 'Kestrel' and 'Lion' yet (fingers crossed emoji) :)

Don't forget DP2!

THe POT might well interest me.  Not personally interested in the Warships.  Looking at my stock lists I think I have all the diesel locos I need both for Green and Blue era.  Though I might upgrade my Cl46 with one, even 2 of the newly announced offerings. I would really like a Cl 105 Cravens DMU in both green and blue. It would upgrade my rather badly made BHE offering.  I suggested it to REvolution as unlike the Cl 100 which is also of interest to me, the Cravens were spread widely,  but they did not see it as one for them, and explained why.  Sad but I do "get it". Still I would not want to divert them from the 120s!

The Warships definitely look interesting. POT a maybe for me, but not an immediate purchase.

I cant help but think that they always seem to focus on big mainline engines but seem to neglect the smaller line locomotives that ran in this country. I'm trying my best not to sound like a grumpy old git but I'm afraid that I am not interested in any of their announcements lately.

There's a sizeable minority of modellers interested in Western Region's production diesel hydraulics and the D600/class 41 fills the last gap in their lineup.
I hope sometime classes 15, 16 (D8400) and 29 appear as RTR.

Agreed but a double chimney king is also desperately required.

This announcement is most welcome and I look forward to running one through Dawlish Warren with the chocolate and cream coaches and Cornish Riviera headboard.
Working doesn't seem to be the perfect thing for me so I'll continue to play.

Worth watching the full 93 minutes video on YouTube by N gauge need as it is rather good including challenges of what to do.

Very pleased by the announcement of Post Office Tender vehicles. One or two definitely for Stoneham Yard, assuming they're offered in BR blue & grey.

Livery etc and info. Plus all we need to know

Might be interested in one myself

Nothing about liveries being offered there.  Mind you, only blue/grey and a couple of variants on the theme of later Royal Mail red are the possibilities I believe.

Just noticed on the photos, the bogies are screwed on, is this a new thing?  GF coaches have all been push on pin fixed as far as I am aware up until now.

Looks like 6th November all will be revealed livery wise.i think those will be two options and totally agree with you on the bogies being screwed on
