I shant bother to get one.
It will only contain items I want but cant/shouldn't afford so I am safer off without it 

[Newportnobby]

I'll get one when it's out. Something no doubt to slaver over and wonder if I'll live long enough to receive anything I might pre order

[Claude Dreyfus]

Sadly all it will be is Bachmann staking their claim on something they won't produce; but at least ensuring that Dapol cannot not produce it either!

[Karhedron]

I am looking forward to it as well and hoping for some goodies for those of a Western persuausion. Mind you, we are still waiting for the Castles, Hawksworth coaches, 6400s and autocoaches that were announced over a year ago. So far not even an EP for any of them.  :'(

That seems a little unfair Claude, as far as I am aware the only items they have so far announced but haven't produced are the 9F (Dapol got there first so they dropped it), the 57xx (Ditto and now they are doing a 64xx instead), Ivatt 2MT Tank (Ditto they have done the 3MT Standard tank instead).

It is true that the Ivatt 2-6-0 was many years in gestation but the end product certainly turned out to be worth the wait. True, Dapol said they would have done it had Bachmann not announced it first but with the best will in the world, embracing the latest in motor technology as the Bachmann model does I would speculate it is far superior to anything Dapol would have managed several years earlier.

Karhedron is correct that EPs of 64xx and Castle are yet to be seen but that doesn't mean work isn't in hand. A case in point is their "Scot" which came from nowhere to launch a few years ago.

It appears speculation is that we will see a new Class 40 which would be very welcome, but as to the other two items I wouldn't care to say. Of course they need not be locos. If they are, another "useful" mixed traffic team loco would be fine my me - Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0 "Flying Pig" anyone??

Dapol were guilty of this too. Claimed to be producing a 390 years ago - nothing happened. I emailed Farish about to ask if they were going to make one and they said 'No because Dapol are doing it' and Dapol never did

Would like a SWT Desiro, preferably the 444

it would be nice to see some suburban stock - twins and clerosity , and for the frieght side a tyne dock consert hopper .

and for the frieght side a tyne dock consert hopper .

Dream on ... there were only 50-ish ever made, far too small to be of interest to BachFar.

Dunno if it made it to N, but there are two kits in OO for this ...

I know that it is claimed that electric trains do not sell well, but I am struggling to understand why there is no 4BEP in N or 00. Three of the four cars already exist in the 4CEP sets, so only the Trailer Buffet would be new tooling. Many 4CEP owners would add a 4BEP to their existing trains, and the existence of the 4BEP would possibly boost sales of the remaining unsold 4CEPs.

Hopefully the new Magnum Opus from Bachmann/Graham Farish will fill this gap.

[nobby]

Re  4 cep / 4 bep That would mean a proper thought on actual trains and looking at the use of tooling to provide other models     never going to happen    you have to remember that we are not the customers the retail outlets are in this world so they just take what ever is made. 
example   class 47/7 and dbso in scotrail livery         any coaches  ?
My bets are on some mk 2 's in scotrail other wise some nice new items in the bargin bin in six months because they cant sell em 
mind you i do have a photo of above loco on a speedlink service so might get one

I know where you're modelling

I'd go for those two as well, and while I'm being greedy how about a new Peak.

Hoping all your wishes come true Roy.

Cheers

I don't care what's in the catalog as long as they a) produce it and b) it has NEM pockets so we can fit auto uncouplers.

My guess for new toolings will be class 40, a 25/3
... and possibly a LMS 4-4-0 Compound - this was in the Poole range but never re-appeared when the rest of the Farish tools went to China.
