it's the final countdown! farish 13/14 catalogue..

[voltan]

I'd of been excited about the EWS class 08 if I haden't started repainting the one I got into EWS.

Sorry if this has been said before but.....HOLY **** , look at some of these prices for the big steamers ! £130 !! £150 !!! Hmmmm . Ric

The only consolation/hope is that Hatton's, MRD and Rails will do, as now, offer a decent discount off these high list prices.

I've added two steamers to my personal wish list and will wait for the above to list their prices on the web.

All I can say is a big thank you to Dapol for waking up Farish and making them take notice of what modellers want these days.  Shame no provision for lighting in the coaches especially as they've already developed a bogie that the lighted TPO uses.

Lots there for me, more blooming expense and I've not caught up with everything I want from Dapol yet.   

[Skyline2uk]

Hmmm,  Castle Class? That could be very nice as a Steam Special. Even beloved likes those....

Also, 158 in Weathered Regional....Not sure I have every seen a factory finish weathered item that i liked. Suppose it won't have new chassis anyway?

Very disappointing that neither the 47/7 or any of the Mk2 coaches will be in NSE livery especialy as NSE was mentioned in the Backmann write up about 47/7s.   

Looks like it'll be more re-painting.

I wonder what discounts we'll actually get. If the pound keeps sliding presumably the prices will rise further before they appear.

A lot of it has now passed the price point I'm going to pay to upgrade to or go with something "new" with finer detailing, be it £21 coaches, or £100+ for a slightly better 31. One or two of the actual "new" items - maybe.

Still the further the prices rise, the sooner production comes back to the UK.

Me too - that's what I was looking out for in terms of Mk2 coaches.

Don't bet on that though initially.

I think I'm right in saying that Bachmann have restricted the levels of discount any traders can offer on newly released products to something like 15%.

For example the new A2 is listed by Hattons at a preorder price of £120.28 which is certainly in the 15% ball-park - list price is now £144.96.

what I do not know is if this stipulation falls away after a certain period, possibly someone in the Trade can advise?

Hi There,

If the new mk2 coaches mirror the construction of the mk1s, then repainting to NSE should not be out of the question.....

Interesting that both BR Blue era and ScotRail 47s and DBSOs are announced but no coaches in between!!!

Some more stuff on my list too...DRS 37/57, NR 57s/FGW 150 & Class 87s (although hoping for a retool given the rrp!!!)

Shame the Class 85 never got the shrink ray!!

Later,
Stu in OAKN.

I guess the state of the £ will set the price and appreciate the comment regarding upgrading. For those of us who are gathering their 'collections' for the first time we have to pay the price, risk ebay or go without.

What are the real chances of production ever returning to the UK, Alan? The banks are keeping the money to themselves rather than allowing businesses invest. I'll stop now before I get too depressed!

Just got on the forum after router problems this morning and....WHOA
My wallet's in for a right pasting with steamers, diesels and coaches galore

Last time I tried to sell my body I managed to afford 1 x IRJ :'(

Still, I've heard it's very pleasant in the nick nowadays

[NSE DAZ]

No NSE stock  :'( I really thought there would have been  No EMU's, looks like I will be having a cheap year  still at least I can carry on with my own conversions, I suppose I should be grateful of this new line up and that its hard to please every one 

All NSE fans lets lobby Farish   

Cheers Darren NSE DAZ

[MikeDunn]

Maybe I've missed some (need to go the the Bachmann site & see first-hand) - but little (anything ?) for LNER ... 

[Edit]
Had a look - apart from the B1 'Roedeer' I think LNER has been ignored - and Roedeer is just a rebadge ... I already have the class leader Springbok  :'(

If only, I would love to see that 

[508111]

There's more than enough to keep me going for a while:

I wasn't expecting these, they'll do very nicely. I'll be buying these, in this order, as soon as they're out and as money allows. I think about 10% off RRP will be acceptable:
371-752    Class 87 87002 'Royal Sovereign' BR Blue
371-753    Class 87 87005 'City of London' InterCity
371-087    Class 25/2 25234 BR Blue
371-112    Class 31 31173 BR Blue

These look like they'll be going on my "wants list" too:
371-015B Class 08 08856 BR Blue with Wasp Stripes
371-019    Class 08 08897 EWS Weathered
372-243    Class 47/7 47701 'Saint Andrew' BR Blue

373-558            100 Ton TEA Bogie Tank Wagon BP Green

371-329   BR Sprinter Weathered? Not too sure about this. Maybe, maybe not. I'll have to see it first.
371-559    Class 158 158849 2 Car DMU BR Regional Rail Weathered? Likewise.
371-088    Class 25/2 25231 BR Blue Weathered? Likewise.
371-455    Class 37 37251 BR Blue Weathered? Likewise.
